And I followed my star and that's what you are, i've had a merry time with you ”Exactly,” she agreed. ”People who are too alike, tend to clash a lot more than those who are different.” The Doctor grinned and Rose felt her spirit lift. She loved seeing him happy. He’d been through so much, things Rose probably couldn’t even comprehend, so the fact that she could bring him some kind of joy, despite all that pain, made her happier than she could express.
Rose followed The Doctor’s lead and watched as he handed off two E-tickets to the cast member. She could feel that familiar mix of anticipation, excitement and nerves. ”Oh yeah, I can’t watch the scene where Mufasa dies,” she replied, giving her shoulders a little shake as she shuddered at the thought.
”How do you remember all this stuff?” She asked him, slightly envious. ”I can’t remember what I did last Tuesday.” Rose sometimes liked to imagine that she could possess such brain power and what she could do for the world. She wasn’t dumb, but she wasn’t exactly smart either.
”I like that quote,” she added, thinking it over. ”If there was one thing I could give the entire universe, it would be happiness.” Rose became lost in thought, watching families and couples climb onto the boats up ahead. ”I’m weirdly nervous,” she added, as they moved a little further along in the queue.

"Yeah, Mufafsa's death is one of those scenes that gets you everytime... you know it's comin' and it gets ya. But that's the power of good storytellin', and good acting. Jeremy Irons and James Earl Jones are fantastic actors, I can't picture anyone else in those roles. And Scar has one of the best villain songs, which honestly would save me a lot of grief if half the folks I went up against had a dramatic song like that."
Then he shrugs. "Big brain, lotsa information up here. But between you an' me.. I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday either."
Looking around the ride queue, he takes in the paintings of the famous pirates on the walls, and watches the folks returning from their voyage for a moment or two before replying. "Always get a little bit of nervous excitement at a theme park, let alone THE theme park... something about attractions you're looking forward to or your favorites always gets me."
Somewhere behind them, a person is talking just loudly enough to their friend about the new attraction, which he mostly tunes out until he hears them say. "I'm telling you, something's weird with that one character in the attic, the one with the hatbox."
"Yeah, he's got a poorly thought out effect." Their friend replies, clearly disinterested.
"I'll give you the effect isn't working like it should, but I'm telling you for a second it was like.. he was real."
"He's an animatronic, of course it's like he's real."
"Real in a different way... real like he was gonna do something bad man. He looked at me and I'm telling you he scared me."
"Sure, and I'm the Queen of England."
Then the conversation ends as the two dissolve into useless bickering and the Doctor shakes his head, people in this era have a different idea of scary than they will in a couple decades.
"Noble goal that is, bring happiness to the universe. Wouldn't be easy, but... well everyone needs those little moments, particularly when it seems the darkest."

And I followed my star and that's what you are, i've had a merry time with you Rose very much liked the fact that The Doctor was so knowledgeable about Disney, especially The Lion King. It made her love him all the more. Not only that, but he seemed genuinely enthusiastic when it came to these animations. It was one of the many great things about The Doctor. He admired humans, just as much as they admired him. He loved them as a species, something Rose herself sometimes found hard to do.
She chuckled. ”You only log the most important stuff in that big old brain of yours. You can’t be expected to know everything, right?” Rose grinned. Behind them, Rose could hear the people behind having a rather lively debate. She glanced sideways at The Doctor, who’d also been listening in and caught him shaking his head dismissively.
”We’ll have to look out for that character in the attic,” she whispered, leaning in so the people behind wouldn’t hear. Despite The Doctor’s obvious dismissal, Rose added a little anxiously, ”you don’t think something… Alien is around here, do you?” She thought about how the guy had called the animatronic life-like, and began to imagine a hoard of puppets coming alive, and attempting to take over the world...
It was just the kind of thing they'd stumble into.

"'e probably looks better than Constance.." the Doctor mutters to himself about the Hatbox Ghost figure of this era, who's fatal flaw is that he just stands too close to the track for the lighting trick to work properly, in a few decades technology will let them make his gag work. And half the trick they eventually use for him is literally based on Madame Leota's projection trick, which is what they will eventually use on the Constance character, but somehow much more poorly. If you want the bride character to actually be a menacing murderess, you should actually try to make her effect menacing... instead she just lights up the attic scene like a damn glow stick. Frankly he had more menacing encounters out of the Master when he was still lurking about.
"Don't think so, I've never heard anythin' about aliens or anything exceptionally strange happenin' this decade, well at Disneyland at least. Closest thing to UFO's this park even had was this flying saucer attraction they shut down about three years ago. As to the rest of the US, even I don't know all the details of Project Blue Book... the only thing I know for sure is that the Bay Area is worrying about the Zodiac." He pauses, moving forward with the line before speaking again. "But ya know what really interests me, the Hatbox Ghost figure, the original one from this era, nobody knows what happened ta him. There isn't even specific information of when 'e was removed from the ride, only that he was part of the ride for a few weeks into its opening at best... an' there's only one known photograph of him in his spot in the attraction, which until that photo surfaced the only photo of him was with Yale Gracey working on him in the shop. Everything known about him is rumor, because not even parks employees from this era can say for certain when he was removed or exactly how long he was part of the attraction until they made a new figure and installed him in 2015."
Then he leans in closer to Rose, so he can be heard over the people somewhere behind them in line who've decided to start singing a sea shanty, loudly. "Its one of the biggest mysteries of the Haunted Mansion, particularly for fans of the attraction. Whatever is happening, I have a feeling we might discover what happened to the original Hatbox Ghost, because I can tell you another thing for certain. There are no deaths at Disneyland in 1969."

And I followed my star and that's what you are, i've had a merry time with you While Rose was somewhat comforted by The Doctor’s words, she couldn’t help but feel like they were missing something. She didn’t feel as though she was good at a lot of things, but trusting her gut instincts was one of Rose’s gifts. She could just tell when something wasn’t right.
Rose moved along the line with something other than nervous excitement filling up her insides. She eyed their surroundings more closely, looking out for anything abnormal or out-of-this-world. Literally.
Rose leaned in as The Doctor lowered his voice so no one else could hear. ”I knew you were holding out on me!” She grinned, hooking her hand around his arm.
”Okay, so what’s the plan?” She asked, hastily checking over her shoulder to see if the people behind had heard their conversation.
”I’m suddenly feeling extra nervous about this ride. It is safe, yeah?" Rose added, feeling like this would be a stupid question, if The Doctor hadn't just said what he had. "I mean, I’ve been stuck on a rollercoaster before and it was no fun. That no deaths at Disnleyland in 1969? Let’s make sure it stays that way.”

"Well, the Pirates of the Caribbean don't come to life and eat the tourists when the ride breaks down, so at most all we're in danger of is getting X Atencio's catchy lyrics stuck in our heads. Less of an earworm than small world though, I may have to track down the Sherman Brothers and ask them what possessed them to write a song that much of an earworm..." He shivers at the thought of hearing that song, the attraction isn't terrible or anything but that song, that song gets into your brain and you have to shove it into a dark corner of your mind and lock it there to get it to stop playing endlessly. Particularly if you've waited in the long line to get on the damn thing...
"But the plan is, keep our eyes and ears open, you never know what the guests or cast members will let slip, and I think after we ride Pirates, we may just have to visit the Haunted Mansion, it's not as if it's all that far from here." He grins down at her. "Whatever is going on, we may just discover what happened to the Hat Box Ghost. Even if I'm the only spaceman here, it's bound to be interesting and the sort of thing that would make all the Disney storytellers very excited, because if there's anyone who loves a good story, it's them."

And I followed my star and that's what you are, i've had a merry time with you Rose chuckled at The Doctor's distaste for the catchiness of the song, and Rose had to agree. "Okay, you have a point. But we both know we'll be singing it all week." There was no point trying to fight it. No one could resist that song, no matter how much they hated it.
She nodded and grinned back up at him. "Wherever we go, I know we'll have fun." They always did, whenever they were together. "Oh, me too," she went on. "I love a good story." The line moved along and finally, Rose and The Doctor had made their way to the front.
"Well, here we go." Suddenly feeling extremely nervous, Rose went first and hopped on to the ride, looking back and waiting for The Doctor. "Are you nervous? I'm nervous." She felt jittery. "But a good nervous. The kind of nervous when I know something good is about to happen."
How many times had she said nervous? Oh, well. She was nervous!

He chuckles as he settles into the boat, briefly watching a cast member having to help a parent wrangle their toddler (which this ride is not exactly... child friendly, but he's not going to argue with a parent who wants to traumatize their child. Lord knows in a few decades there will be parents taking their kids on Phantom Manor at much the same age. Humans are strange and sometimes he never wants to understand their reasoning...), before replying. "I think you're just a bit nervous... nothing wrong with that. Timeless attraction this is, thank you Disney Imagineer Xavier Atencio for writing the lyrics to one of the more iconic songs about pirates ever."
"Kind of love the fact that sometimes your story can be very simple, yet have so much depth to it... I've met a few people who've shown me the power of words. Oh sure, I can have an adventure anywhere I want... but sometimes a good story is able to draw you into an adventure unlike any other."

And I followed my star and that's what you are, i've had a merry time with you The Doctor merely chuckled at Rose, and she smirked up at him. At least he wasn't making fun of her. He tended to grow annoyed at a lot of humanity's bad habits, but for some reason, he didn't seem to mind them in Rose. In fact, he even seemed to enjoy some of them. Not that they hadn't had their fights, of course.
She grinned up at him. Despite their bad habits, The Doctor really did love humanity. He found them fascinating, and it was plain to see as they sat upon this ride. "Look at you, getting all deep," she grinned, nudging him in the arm.
"Come on then, Time Lord. Let's do this!" She curled her hand around The Doctor's as they started to move. "Here we go!"
