Trivia
The original ending of the film consisted of the Griswold
family, after seeing that Walley World is closed, going to the Hollywood house
of Roy Wally (Eddie Bracken), the owner of Walley World, and holding him and
his family hostage and making them sing and dance Walley World theme songs
before the police arrive to arrest all of them. This did not go over well with
test-audiences and the in-park scenes with John Candy was a last minute
alternate filmed over two weeks, four months after production ended. The
original ending was deleted and is believed to be lost. Eddie Bracken
never-less appeared as Roy Walley in both endings.
