New Fantasyland's Enchanted Tales with Belle now in limited previews

[wdwmagic]

Are they doing these previews to work out kinks in the show or have things already been cleaned up?

It is brand new, so there will be an element of soft open to work out the issues and to get the cast into the swing of things.

Not sure if this would be funny, but it might be. Was just thinking of the Lumiere animatronic actually bursting into flames during the show while he keeps saying his lines, it should look pretty natural

Are they doing previews all day? I was just there yesterday and didn't see anything going on. I would possibly head back over today if the odds of getting in are good...

Normally in these types of testing it's on and off.. and not for all day types of things. Think 'bankers hours' as the various elements watching the test, supporting the tests, etc still like to work their regular type of hours. Not uncommon to see just an hour or a few at a time.

but it really makes you wonder... what part of the expansion is going to take that much longer.. nearly 2.5 months until the land opens!

LMA is a direct clone... with pieces all built long ago.. Belle opening now... the rest are shops and restaurants. Wild...

Im going in 28 days!!! Sure hope that its still testing for my daughters and wifes sake.

I would say the odds of getting in are not good. It is limited testing with invited guests.

Steve do you have confirmation that it's only invited guests only?

Yes for so far. Anything could happen going forward though.

It's better than a M&G, what with the added "show". I may go in once to see the effects live, but that's it. No need for us to take up space that could go to a family with kids, the target audience.

Good to see you coming around on this add. It is good for the MK which could ultimately be good for other projects you would be interested in.

Success has a way of creating more success. This will give WDI some more leverage as Carsland and BVS has. Tide is turning.

I imagine it'll be "invited guests" until they get the castle walls finished

"Invited guests" meaning VIP''s? Or just the average person being "in the right place at the right time"...trying to plan our Saturday and this could help my decision..

Looks like Touring Plans just got someone behind the walls. Updates on their YouTube and Twitter.

It's pretty much in test and adjust with cast and families of cast.

Can any cast get in on this or is it just the folks who will be working in New Fantasyland?

I think the guy filming this forgot to turn off the "Crazy LSD Effect" from the night before. The whole thing was expanding and contracting.

Probably used a video capable DSLR. The lower end ones have that "reality-bending" effect when you pan or move too quickly with them.

Why, do you suppose, there's no video beyond that front room? No camera rule beyond that point?

They are still posting more videos. The wardrobe room video was just posted.

After watching the wardrobe segment I am surprised they allowed video recording this early on in previews. The interaction between the cast member and the wardrobe was very un-polished, definitely needs some more rehearsal time.
