Official Disney Parks Blog to host live chat with Fantasyland Imagineer Chris Beatty

[djkidkaz]

Seriously? This is a question someone asked?

"Do you think people will really feel as if they have magically transformed into the films?"

Sorry Disney, not buying it. Dont even hold these events if your just going to make up the questions yourself.

 

[Todd H]

You're absolutely right. the first question seemed like a plant... and these one sentence answers are offering absolutely no additional insight at all. Maybe he should put some feeling into it instead of sounded "canned."

Agreed.

I didn't really expect much more, but this is certainly just a PR-palooza....

I would really love the opportunity to offer feedback on what we thought of the Chat. I doubt thhy will. Does anyone have a personal email for Thomas Smith?

It's kind of depressing on how horrible these questions are. I understand them having to be vetted before being asked, but they are pretty terrible, and Chris is not giving any "Imagineering" insight at all. Atleast give us more than a 1 or 2 sentence answer, ya know? But like you, it's basically what I expected.

Just saying, it's really annoying having two threads discussing this...

 

[devoy1701]

Does this response even kind of sort of answer the question that was asked???


Comment From Duncan: What do you see as the main draw for boys at new Fantasyland

Chris Beatty: Our focus has always been to create immersive environments for the entire family.

They posted a new pic of the Beast's castle. It looks very cool.

All of the questions are for PR. They aren't answering anything specifically; more general comments if anything.

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

 

[JordanKing]

This whole thing sounds so rehearsed. Lame.

The only one that I have not seen before is the Mine Train. If anyone missed it, it is here http://www.wdwmagic.com/Attractions...--New-Seven-Dwarfs-Mine-Train-concept-art.htm

I feel like we are wasting questions with things that are very much public knowledge. They need to read my FAQ before asking! LOL

So much "things we've already heard" in here.

Thanks. There was another one that I didn't recognize at first, but now I'm looking at it again and I think I've seen it before...but the mine train one I definitely haven't seen anywhere else.

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