    The 60th Anniversary of Disneyland: The Reality of it All

    Agreed, and I'm still bitter about the cancellation of the Showboat Jubilee..! Also nice to see Aladdin get represented with a window. And it's no surprise to see Frozen there.

    The 60th Anniversary of Disneyland: The Reality of it All

    That's how I took it as well, meaning he will be making non-AA appearances in addition to the animatronic. Technically he already does, with his glowing red eyes in the dark caverns and all. And in case anyone's interested, here's a portion of last night's fireworks testing as seen from the...

    The 60th Anniversary of Disneyland: The Reality of it All

    Looks amazing! And that's with a limited view, no soundtrack, and missing so many of the effects we'll have in the park. It's about 2 minutes shorter than RDCT, but it seems to pack a lot more pyro. I like that it's almost non-stop continuous shells, whereas Remember had a lot of breaks...

    The 60th Anniversary of Disneyland: The Reality of it All
