Re: Fantasyland Expansion
I'm with you Belle, hoping that they have lots of "soft openings" so we can try all this stuff. Otherwise, it'll be another couple of years before we are back.Belle1082 wrote:I'm definitely hoping for more 'previews' at the end of October when I'm there.

Re: Fantasyland Expansion
y''all can bet on the 'soft openings' before Christmas season. They have way too much invested in the expansion to let anything not be fully ready in time for the season (but I always thought July 4 was the busiest time of the year...)

It opens Nov 19 for pass holders and December 3rd to everyone else I believe.

Re: Fantasyland Expansion
Ah, not a bad idea, give it a quick hell week (well month) of peak tourist time and allow for recovery and also have a small boost to the slowest times of the year (post December).

It's all luck.. I did get to see the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor in soft openings.. that was pretty cool.

Re: Fantasyland Expansion
There has always been something I hated about the promos for milf
, if you've ever seen it on travel channel it looks really crappy, as in really choppy low-res web video. My guess is that they filmed a test version of it rather than the final product, but since this is a promo you would think they would have the most polished version out there.

Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

Re: Fantasyland Expansion
In this case it wasn't, aside from better quality youtube clips, they also did a turtle talk segment and it was smooth animation with fluid motion.
