Mickey's PhilharMagic coming to DCA this April

[shortstop]

They need to demo the backlot and start over.

Booze bottles all over the sign?

Booze bottles all over the sign?

It makes sense in context to the show.

"Why don't they put something in the Muppet theater instead of previews?"............."Bad signage, not enough screen, blah blah blah". WDW magic is so full of Disney magic, lol!

"doing something" is not good enough to offset "doing something poorly"

From the Disneyland Resort Line CM Magazine:

Sounds like there will be a Donald Duck butt - and the stretched screen effect will be accomplished by projecting onto the walls

"Guests Join Donald on a 3D adventure through classic stories including "Fantasia", "Beauty and the Beast", "Peter Pan", and more"

Disneyland used to have a show like that... I think it was called "Fantasmic" or something like that...

the marquee looks temporary because it is. A “new entry and state of the art LED marquee” will debut later in the summer.

Maybe this is fairly permanent then. Kind of funny though how it seems like WDI is completely incapable of opening anything finished or on-time lately.

So a new marquee is coming and an AA butt is all but confirmed! Good to hear!

 

[Sharon&Susan]

Sounds great, too bad the far superior show has to go down for previews because of this.

 

[davis_unoxx]

Sounds great! Glad it will in fact be an extra wide screen! Also good they're expanding and renovating "Award Wieners!"

 

[Stevek]

Complaining about the sign? Really? Ugh.

I love Ace of Base.

For some reason I had a feeling they might surprise us here. Good to hear we get the booty and wider images with the projections. Not to mention it will be in HD.

How do you know nobody took my bet....

A+ Gif usage

Which version?

By the way, it is "Steps in Time"

Thank you so much for posting this. I'd only seen the retooled version, and only once.

I mean, this was terrible, but still, thank you for posting it!

Let's ask for something to return that we've never seen in person. Personally, the inner band geek in my would rather see the return of the Power of Blast.

I am also a former band geek and yes ... Power of Blast was incredible. I only wish I'd seen it more when it was at DCA. I've seen the full live version 4 times though and I have the DVD, so I'm just whining.

A cheap overlay is still better than movie previews.

"still better than" has been the standard since the late 90s when it comes to disney parks, so i'm not surprised

to be fair, pizza planet and red rose taverne (although the latter's been fixed) were originally "temporary"

edit: i see where that excerpt came from now; i stand corrected (but my point is the assumption i made was not pulled out of thin air)

An LED marquee sounds like something that can be easily reprogrammed for other things.

Honestly, if this theater became a flex space for past Disney 3D attractions, I'd be fine with that. I think a seasonally / monthly / daily rotation of old favs like Philharmagic, Bugs, Magic Journeys, Honey, etc would be really neat. Especially since I think the days of 4D Theater Shows being considered viable attractions are probably over, considering 3D doesn't impress like it used to.
