“Top 7 Must Sees” Show Replaced, Keeping Stacey
June 1, 2009
You know the feeling. You finally arrive to your Walt Disney World Resort hotel, set your luggage down, and flip on the TV. You’re greeted with Stacey, your host for the Walt Disney World “Top Seven Must Sees” show (which is more like 107, right?). You wither get a feeling of happiness, or an annoyed feeling. You either like Stacey or can’t stand her.
I thought the show (while she did act somewhat stupid) was a part of my Disney experience – and for that, I always liked her.
I was surprised when I flipped on my resort television this past weekend. Stacey was still there, but she was in a different show called “Must Do Disney”.
On this new show (same channel and everything), Stacey goes through each park and outlines the “must do” attractions. There are a couple reactions and thoughts I had, and I’ll share those with you right now:
She acts more normal, with just snippets from the old show. For the most part, she acts normal (and is obviously not ad-libbing like she did before). However, if you are a fan of her old, crazy self, then you’re in luck, because as she’s going through the must do’s in each park, they show snippets of her from the old show.
She’s not good at acting normal. Maybe it’s just because I’m used to her the other way. But when I was watching her in the new footage, I thought that she was actually bad at acting normal! I think it’s due to the fact (as mentioned above) that when she acted crazy, she was ad-libbing…and now, she is reading from a script.
I searched, and haven’t found any news sites with this story on them. So if you’re looking for proof, I have none, except for the fact that on her official website, she has “Must Do Disney” listed in her resume.
What’s your opinion? Would you rather have Stacey in the new, less crazy show, or did you like the old show better? If you’ve seen the new show, let us know your opinion now! Photo: Stacey Aswad

We too have discovered that Stacey wasn’t quiet her perky self on our recent WDW June ‘09 trip. The kids, 8 & 6, watched the new Stacey, but, more than once during the trip, they expressed missing the old Stacey and that Disney wasn’t the same without her. I have found the full featured Top 7 Must See video on the web today. I’ll present that to the kids tonight as a way to patch their shattered souls.
We love you Stacey, but we like the original show better.
(“Look at all the lazy people in the lazy river” – one of our favorite Stacey quotes from Top 7 Must See.)

I agree. She was a big part of the Disney experience (even if I really didn’t “enjoy” watching her).

I wonder if anyone has higher quality videos from the show than those you can find on YouTube…

I’ve been looking around as well, and can’t seem to find any good quality ones.

Bring Back Old Stacey! | June 22, 2009 at 2:38 am
Nooo…bring back the old Top Seven! I just discovered Stacey last Christmas and she pretty much changed my life! I saw these new promos and was aghast!
What did Disney do to poor Stacey?? They turned her into Ben Stein!

Well I wouldn’t go that far! haha But yeah, she was a part of my trip, whether I truly liked her or not.

It won’t let me download it.
It says it’s a “thread” – so does that mean it’s not a video? Not sure, but if anyone can open it let us know. =)

The link wants you to sign up for the UseNext service.If you look at the file date it was posted in 2007.Even if you signed up it would not be available for download, best retention available is about 1 year

Well I’m not signing up for any service!
Oh well, maybe a good quality video will come along soon.

Found that video (and a lot more) at mousebits.com.

I have never understood MouseBits. Maybe I’m just stupid, but I have no idea what to do there.

First install a torrent client like uTorrent or Vuze, then go to the Torrents section.
You can download videos and sound files uploaded by other users.

I miss the old show!! Did she grow old? Or went corporate?
Was it the new clothing and the makeup? They make her look like everybody’s aunt.
Was it the editing? I don’t understand why Disney decided to change her voice-overs for images of her speaking in a studio saying basically the same stuff.

Probably the main reason they changed it up a little bit was simply for something different. She is calmer now – which is a plus for me (even though I miss the crazy Stacey occasionally).
I was mad when they changed the good old tour from years ago with the zip-a-dee-doo-dah theme and the little paper cutouts! But I got used to not seeing it, then I got used to Stacey, and I’m sure we’ll get used to the “new” Stacey. Eventually.

We REALLY miss the original host of the Top 7 Must Sees. She seemed more genuine and always appeared to have a great time while shooting this show. Her constant smile, heart-warming laughter and sweet, perky personality is sorely missed. You can judge for yourself. I think this is the 2004 spot with Mission Space as the TOP attraction:

Enjoy!!!! — …….and we miss you, Kryssa….:o(

I remember seeing Kryssa, but my memories of her are very vague. I remember she was calmer than Stacey.
Thanks for the video link!

Stacey is great to look at regardless of which video you choose. I think she does well in either.

True – wither way she is entertaining. We just need to get used to the new version. =)
