Join Jeff Lange on a trip back to Walt Disney World circa 1991 When it was still possible to take a wild ride with Mr. Toad, join Captain Nemo on a voyage aboard the Nautilus, be startled by the Wicked Witch or soar high above the Magic Kingdom aboard the Skyway.

You start your journey with a photo tour of Fantasyland featuring the Skyway and Mr. Toad interiors. Then it's off for a wild ride on both tracks of the classic Mr. Toad's Wild Ride attraction.
