Still insanely stupid. I hope they got a couple extra V-Bucks to do this.

Sure, I understand that. But the game stuff will (hopefully) only be a small part of the overall presentation. I don't know how Succession and Winning Time are going to play with the elf crowd.

Do we think Disney is likely to upload the presentation to YouTube or D+ the next day? While I love reading the news about what's coming to the parks, I'd prefer to watch Disney's pitch directly, even if delayed by a few hours

Thanks for the clarification. I misunderstood what they were trying to do

If I am reading all of this correctly, Epic is probably sponsoring the stream so it's only available inside the Fornite 'game' platform. How does someone on an iPhone or iPad (or for that matter a Mac) actually watch this since Fortnite isn't available on those platforms after all the Epic lawsuits?
What am I missing by not being in that world?

You can download Fortnite for free on any gaming platform if you are on any of those (PlayStation/Xbox/Standard PC). You should be able to go onto the game, search for the specific island and stay there as long as you want hopefully. Fortnite have recently done a few of these live streams in game so it should be straightforward. Since the stream is up until 16th, I'm hoping someone else will be on here to let us know if it's just the Fortnite stuff or the whole stream

Sounds like someone could just point their phone camera at the computer/TV screen and livestream it on Periscope or whatever.

This will probably happen as I am very dubious that recording the parks panel is actually banned. Periscope used to be the way we were watching the 2011/13 panels.

But if you do not have any one of those gaming platforms (I do not) then you are SOL

HAHHAHHAHHAAHAH.
What a stupid move, Disney what are you doing? Seriously, though this is incredibly stupid, do they know what they are doing? Their audience is parks fans like us on the boards not Fortnite kids.
So, who here is gonna play Fortnite because of this?

If true, I move from frustrated at a weird decision to not caring at all if it's just about the Fortnite work
The announcement of the Fortnite delayed stream says that it will cover announcements from Fortnite AND Disney. Seems to suggest it will be the entire thing, but delayed by 90 minutes.

While I'm sure this is because Epic is sponsoring it, lots of their (Disney's) audience will be unable to watch it at all which is a very poor choice by Disney, just to get someone else to pay for it.

All of the DIS influencers and YT people are signing up for Fortnite to watch.
The rest of us will have already read about all of the announcements from the Parks Blog.

I think they are hoping to make the Disney fan base bigger by appealing to the young adults that play Fortnight and possibly have extra money to spend. (They probably don’t but Disney hasn’t figured that out yet)
I think way to much is being read into the livestream decision.
My feeling is that since they are charging for admission to the Honda Center, they cannot just hand out a free live stream. because next time they do this, people are not going to pay to be there if they can sit at home and stream it.
And really, does anyone need to see the entertainment segments? All of the info will be released in near realtime, and we will have concept art as usual.
