Thank you! I was able to figure it out but was starting to get frantic as I was shuffling work and the panel selections at the same time.

You've got several days to make your selections, and it's an RSP not first come first serve, so there's no rush. And you can edit the selections until the deadline.

I know. I just wanted to get it done today so I won’t forget about it at the end of the week.

I entered the Pixar ball giveaway 6 times.

I really like MK’s facade, but the kiddie queue diminishes it a little for me. The effect works better at DL because the facade doesn’t attempt to be scary at all, and the queue doesn’t counter it. MK’s facade looks a bit menacing, but then the interactive queue messes that up. Still, it’s lovely.

With all this being said, Mansion at MK was one of the rides that I really, really enjoyed during my very short visit in May. It’s on par with DL’s, in my opinion.

Agreed that MK mansion is actually really great (especially if you get to skip the extended cartoon queue). I love the stairway scene. Riding through the hallway of portraits is neat.

But I prefer Disneyland's attic.

"The Disney Legends Awards program is a 35-year tradition of The Walt Disney Company, which began when Fred MacMurray (The gy Dog, The Absent-Minded Professor, The Happiest Millionaire) was honored in 1987. The awards ceremony is just one of the many spectacular events fans can enjoy during the three-day D23 Expo."

"Honorees receive a two-foot-tall bronze Disney Legends sculpture that signifies the imagination, creativity, and magic they have brought to the Company. Disney Legends Award recipients will also participate in a handprint ceremony at the end of the event, and their bronzed prints will be displayed in the Disney Legends Plaza at the Company’s Burbank headquarters."

i didn't know "starring in the hit movie frozen" meant you automatically become a disney legend!

To me the problem is more with the name of the award then who is being inducted. The term "legend" implies a much higher level of contribution to Disney then a lot of the people have done.

 

[Mouse3268]

The “headliners” are whatever, but there are a good number of folks here who’ve for the company for a long time in different departments.

It is wild that fourth-credited voice actors in FROZEN are Disney Legends, but none of the cast or creators of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? (Zemeckis, Hoskins, Fleisher!) get any love. For my money, Hoskins gives one of the most remarkable physical comedic performances of all time, given the constraints in which he was working against.

I do wonder if this portends more Frozen news than expected (other than DLP news, maybe confirmation of a new movie or a new stateside attraction)

 

[UNCgolf]

What about "starring in the hit ABC TV show Grey's Anatomy"?

I guess Patrick Dempsey was at least in Enchanted, too.

Yeah the legend ceremony has become increasingly a popularity contest. Don Hahn is probably the most "legend" of these names.

 

[HauntedPirate]

He's one of the very few on that list that are deserving. Josh Gad is a "Disney Legend" but someone like Eddie Sotto isn't? That's disgusting. "Disney Legend" basically means about as much as "Rock N Roll Hall of Fame" now. It spits in the face of true Disney legends.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Yeah the legend ceremony has become increasingly a popularity contest. Don Hahn is probably the most "legend" of these names.

Bob Foster is pretty important to the history of the Disney company

Almost like they need more separation or different categories for what has been traditionally been considered a Disney Legend vs have a big role in popular ABC show(s). Like, I have no issue recognizing Anthony Anderson, he's done a lot and had a big influence in that sphere, but just feels a lot different than like a big time Imagineer or even like the impact Chris Montan had.

Their just giving them to anyone..Yet The Inanimate Carbon Rod was snuffed again..

Unless Roger Rabbit gets a sequel in the future. I'm sure there will be creators or cast of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT will get love.

Participation trophy SWAG?

Just kidding, this is nice recognition for peeps at the co. Thumbs up really.

When your movie grosses as much as Frozen and sells as much merch becoming a Disney “Legend” is just a formality.

And yet Alan Tudyk is twittling his thumbs since he's been in so many of the recent Disney animated films...
