I actually love the concept of doing this. Can they do this with Frozen now?

“La den gå, la den gå.
Den kraften jeg skjulte før.
La den gå, la den gå.
Jeg har snudd og stengt en dør.
Jeg er lei, alt de tror de har sett.
La det storme nå,
litt frost gjør meg ingenting uansett.”

That's crazy. The native language of Arendelle is English. Didn't you watch the movie?

Veronica, the imagineer, seems really young to me. Is that the reason imagineering is not really constantly putting amazing stuff and some even questionable? I mean young means inexperience but I hope I'm wrong and they could really have potential and not hire people just for the sake of "diversity and being inclusive."

According to her linkedin she has a Masters in engineering from MIT and has worked in imagineering for 4 years. She’s listed in the video as Project Controls which is important but not like CEO.

I’m sure she was chosen for the video on the basis of being good on camera, which is generally important for such. When I’ve made behind the scenes videos in the past that’s what we looked for.

I think that is from the Little Mermaid.

As someone who closely followed construction of the original WDSP version of this (including getting a brief glimpse from the Toy Story parachute drop ride) it so surreal to watch Disney promote the WDW version as this BRAND NEW attraction that's SUPER exciting, despite the French equivalent being 7 years old by the time its Florida cousin is open to the public.

It's like going back in time. Before COVID, before BB8, when Olaf was a non verbal snowman in a teaser trailer.

The courtyard and facades look like they've come out a lot better than I anticipated -- grander and perhaps even more impressive than the ones at WDSP. Does anyone else have this sense, or am I being too optimistic?

One the other hand, perhaps the flat backdrop will look really unrealistic from the ground, so I guess we should all just reserve our judgment and keep our fingers crossed that it'll work...

(Apropos of nothing, re the "teaser" video: It'll be brand new and exciting to most guests. And it's also nice to see new talent at WDI being featured.)

It’s “brand new” to WDW and how many people from the US really know about it? I’d say it’s more likely for international travelers to WDW (assuming they can travel due to COVID) who know more about it than domestic visitors.

Especially since it was the first trackless ride according to The Imagineering Story.

Imagine being Eddie Sotto, someone who helped design Hunny Hunt, hearing that and knowing you were in that same documentary.

Eddie praised the documentary on LinkedIn. The technology was actually developed for Aquatopia but Pooh’s Hunny Hunt ended up opening first.

I will disagree that the courtyard in Epcot looks grander and more impressive than the one at WDSP, from what I’ve seen of both in person (or at least from pictures and from the Skyliner, in Epcot’s case).

Wish they’d do the videos without the masks on. They’re social distancing. I get why they don’t though. They probably don’t want people to think they can take pics wo it. In any case, I love when they release these behind the scenes videos!

It doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t see it matters unless their voice is muffled (in which case I suspect they’d re-record it).

In years to come people will know exactly when the video was recorded, just like photos taken now.

Think of the half dozen people behind the camera.

They’re 6 ft from the camera at least right?

6ft is the minimum requirement with masks on. Without a mask, upwards of 30 feet is necessary.

Is 6 feet far enough for social distancing? Here's what science says

With so much unknown about the new coronavirus, how did public health experts come up with recommendations for social distancing and wearing masks, and how fail-safe are they when it comes to prevention?

I think theyre just setting a good example. "but that guy on youtube was in epcot with no mask" and such

Yup, they are just doing what's best cause all eyes are on them. They don't want this issue to happen again for sure.
