As you said, Roy Disney is underappreciated. He is the man who basically formed Walt Disney World as it would be today. As much as I love all the visual effects that would be going on, I just feel that this show may be a little short, only for what you're presenting. I can imagine a famous person coming from the speakers blasting Roy Disney's life and impact he had on Walt Disney World and Walt Disney himself. I think this is very well presented, but just falls short of time.Magic Kingdom:
“Sharing the Dream” is a five- minute projection show presented fifteen minutes before the main evening entertainment show using the Castle as the screen. Using a mixture of vintage photos (black-and-white, colorized and colored), archival film and the classic narration-style that Disney has perfected, the underappreciated importance of Roy Disney to the very existence and form of the Walt Disney World Resort is presented to the “captive” audience, one that might not be interested in the show by itself but will now be “edutained” in the classic Disney style. Roy Disney was the force behind the creation of Walt Disney World from the dreams of his brother, dreams that Roy Disney shared, guided and molded into reality, always keeping the hopes of his brother alive and sharing those dreams with the world.
Epcot:
THE DREAM LIVES ONUsing a mixture of water screen projections, lasers and fireworks, “The Dream Lives On” presents to thousands of Epcot visitors nightly the evolution of Epcot from the seminal “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow” into “Epcot Center” and finally into its present form, with the visual effects, lighting and fireworks growing in complexity to show the growth and never-ending evolution of Epcot guided by the dreams of the Disney brothers.
Magic Kingdom bonus:
A remixed, resized, edited and slightly expanded version of “Sharing the Dream” will be shown at the Disneyland Resort, using Sleeping Beauty Castle as the screen with additional footage added to show how Roy Disney’s enthusiasm to bring his brother’s dream to the world led to the expansion of a single park, Disneyland, into the world-renowned Disneyland Resort.
Epcot bonus:
“The Dream Lives On” will be presented in the Fantasmic viewing area, with editing similar to that done for “Sharing the Dream” to include how the creation of Epcot led to the expansion of Disneyland to include DCA and possible future additions to the Disneyland Resort.
Bonus: A very nice, simple, and cheap second version of the original. +1
I enjoy how both of these proposals have the word "dream" in them. Walt had a very special dream and Roy, well he basically brought it all to formality. I can only imagine that this show would be fantastic and would live up to its parent show, IllumiNations. Water screen projections always puzzled me, but it would be a great thing to bring over from the Rivers of Light. I just feel that I should know a little more than what you're giving me. Again, I can wrap my head around the basics of it, I just really want to know a little more. Overall, fantastic job!!
Bonus: Another simple and cheap way to bring something to Disneyland in Anaheim. +1
