Since our Disney store closed Boxlunch is the only place in town to get Disney merch.

Did they bring the preshow back yet?

Nope, livestream from today shows it being used as a queue.

That's a bummer. Sadly I have little interest in this attraction until they bring back the full experience. It'd be different if I'd seen it before but I feel like I'd be missing something the first time without seeing the preshow.

There's always the Mickey and Minnie Vacation movie next door to whet your appetite.
That’s hardly an appetizer.

This is on the MMRR show building under construction at Disneyland and I love it. Imagine people that care about unideal sight lines, even temporary ones, enough to at least make light of it. Instead of writing immature defensive replies to fans on Twitter.
Epcot cries.

I suppose this is a broader discussion, but when do we think the pre-show is coming back? I really don’t want to ride it unless I’m getting the full experience. I’m going in November and I’d be shocked if it wasn’t back by then.
Also what’s the consensus on plexiglass?

If CDC changes from 6' to 3' soon, There might be room to run the preshows again.

got to finally ride this last week for the first time. our trip last year, we missed it opening by 1 day (1 day!). great, inventive ride. went into it completely cold, so it was a nice surprise. much better than its dated predecessor (I know, blasphemy!). would love to know what the pre show was though. i guess i can youtube it.
Blasphemy, indeed.
It’s a lot of whizz/bang/projections, impossible to take it all in, even with multiple rides. A lot of flash and very little substance.

we road it twice, and tried to look at different stuff each time.
a ride like this really doesn't need substance. this one is pure escapism based on a totally irreverent series of cartoon shorts that are really, really funny.
Then perhaps they should have built new instead of tearing out a ride that had substance?
It really doesn’t move the needle much for me as a ride. The total-immersion/what-the-f-is-going-on-all-around-me isn’t terribly appealing to me. Looking at one thing but miss 8 other things, or having to “Squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel!” your way through a scene isn’t fun, it’s overwhelming, and it’s sensory overload.

See, it reminds me of Theatre. I'm very lucky to have grown up in NYC, with an extremely strong understanding of Rushes, Lottos, and Student Tickets. There are some Broadway shows I've seen over 20 times. What makes a good show great is taking advantage of the entire stage, and giving each chorus member a "track." It encourages the audience to pay attention to more than the main action, and rewards viewers for going that extra mile. The depth directors have added into their shows with a small action that maybe 30% of the audience will even notice is astonishing.Then perhaps they should have built new instead of tearing out a ride that had substance?

The way this attraction is set up allows for guests to have a personal experience, taking it what speaks to them. You can always reride it if you feel like you've missed something.

If everyone would get the vaccination we could go back to standard living again...which would include preshows!
