Cool. I wonder if they will update it each year with footage of the newest Disney Nature film.

I would love to see the Disney Nature products offered as a preview somewhere in Disney's Animal Kingdom, perhaps as a way to get guests back to Rafiki's Planet Watch?

Heck, considering the relatively low viewership numbers that Disneynature films get in theaters, why not put the whole movies in a theater in DAK? Maybe put it in the parks 6 months after the theatrical release or something.

It's why I love DAK. The animals tell the story.

To be honest, no we aren't. Frozen isn't even that big of a deal. They're just making Maelstrom into something terrible.

When did you get to ride this to know that they are doing something terrible? I did not think it was completed yet.

yes, it goes with the educational part of DAK.

Next to another Fantasyland ride. Also soon to be next to a Fantasyland meet and greet. Across from a Fantasyland stroller park. And a Fantasyland character meal throughout the day. With area music soon-to-become instrumental versions of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" and "Let it Go". People will start asking where the new Mine Train ride they reserved 67 days ago is.

It's not a great situation, but there's not reason to make that situation any worse.

Anyway... Rivers of Light?

The tech has really come a long way in 15 years. I don't doubt it.

I think maybe you can be, but I'm not sure.
