Ha, a 'Great Place' to pick up souvenirs. :hurl:

Im gonna get me a keychain with Chris Beattys face on it.

The picture he says will come out in a few days could be promising. I hope it is a trash can!

Enchanted right from the Beast's castle :lol:

Im actually more entertained by this thread than Disney hosting a chat with an Imagineer talking about New Fantasyland. Something is wrong with that?? :ROFLOL:

 

[mgf]

Most exited for?

 

[lebeau]

It's great they are doing this, but such a shame the first one was such a monumental waste!

"Snow White will make an appearance within the experience."
I think he took a rhyming class in his illustration major.

 

[djkidkaz]

Oh thank god he's taking some questions home to answer later! :ROFLOL:

They gave us absolutely no meat.... If I ever see Chris walking around the parks I'm going to politely chat about what a waste his first live-chat was.

Maybe he'll actually tell us something about the trash cans!

I wouldn't blame him, I am sure he was carefully coached on what he was and was not allowed to say.

Oh, I thought maybe there was more to your comment than that. I've been to DLP, and I didn't think it was that bad. IMO, Hong Kong looks worse, just due to a very small number of attractions.

Disneyland Parc is a beautiful park, just a shame how many people treat it, the Studios on the other hand still needs a lot of work. The additions in the last few years have made it bearable and events like Terrorific nights are incredible, and the unique shows in the park such as Cinemagique are brilliant. More attractions are still needed to make it a full fledged park.

I thought the web chat was pretty pointless, nothing was given away, just generic answers that looked like they had been copied and pasted from a list of answers written for him.

Here's a recap, for anyone who missed the chat.

 

[UltimtMickeyFan]

agreed. Very canned questions and answers. It's almost as if they are just picking from a list of pre-written answers.

In the grand scheme of things, how do we know we were really even talking to Chris. Since every question was screened and picked based on answers that everyone already knows the answers to? :drevil:

We don't - those answers read like they were prepared beforehand for all kind of questions that came up and then just posted with the appropriate questions. We don't even know who wrote the questions. The whole thing could easily just some intern hitting the send button with predetermined intervals for already existing texts...

 

[Scuttle]

I had seen the castle pic before, but not the mine train. Anyone else seen that one before?

Yes I've seen the mine train concept art with the log before.

 

[MickeyPeace]

Chris Beatty took almost every specific question and gave a generalized answer. Every answer had something to do with creating magic for the guests and completing avoiding answering the question asked.

Also, there was no "chat" at all.

Very disappointed. Should have advertised it as a prearranged Q&A with nothing to see here.

 

[lebeau]

What I don't think Disney understands is that this sort of thing just frustrates fans. People showed up with certain expectations. And Disney undershot even the lowest expectations. That doesn't do anything to get people excited about their park expansion.

 

[ToTBellHop]

I had zero expectations and left with nothing.

I call that a success for Disney!
