Greetings from the World! F2BF here, and I've always wanted to do a photo-update, so here's what's going on at DHS.
First, some quick Fun2BFacts:
-It's hot. Damn hot.
-TSMM was at 80 minutes by noon, and the FPs were all the way back to 9pm.
-ToT's preshow video seemed much more quiet than usual- I had to strain to hear it over the Brazilian hordes. Perhaps it's a casualty of the recent sound-rejigging that I read on here.
-Journey to Narnia: Prince Caspian is now open. I'll elaborate on it later in the update.
-Wall-E merchandise is flying off the shelves, despite the lack of it.
-On a similar note, Wall-E exhibits are now in the Art of Animation, including a cool photo-op. Pictures follow.
And now for the photos:
Two of my least favourite things at the Studios!
Wall-E has set up shop at the Art of Animation, with a brief trailer at the end of the Mushu film, and a whole bunch of maquettes, concept art and other goodies.
That's right: YOU can have your picture taken next to a cardboard Wall-E! Next to the photo op, a fun film plays detailing Wall-E's technical specifications along with a ton of slapstick-- I wonder if it'll be on the DVD? (For reference, the cutout is about 3ft tall.)
Caspian is also open.
The queue area is bordered by a construction wall, some taped up lights and (the infamous) ladder (of doom).
ATTRACTION SPOILERS (Highlight to read):
Where in the previous version you entered into a room with the Wardrobe, now it is a stone door heralding the entrance to Aslan's How (the lights dimmed quickly so I was unable to get a good picture. Anyone wanting a look at this room can check this botched try: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u174/Fun2BFree/SNC15684-1.jpg) You then enter into a large-ish hexagonal stone chamber (Aslan's How) and an extended trailer is played. While there is no live-action performer as in the previous version, a screen at the front of the chamber interacts with the trailer as a slab of ice containing the digital projection of the White Witch). After this, you exit into an updated display of models and costumes. While I feel it is better done than the previous version, it is still pretty lacklustre and there were many disappointed and exasperated guests (as before).
SPOILERS END HERE.
By noon, this bleak sign confronted me. Oh well, there's still the single-rider line.
The back-side of Pixar Place. It looks so much more pleasant and green than Mickey Avenue ever did.
Nothing new here.
