The Spirited Seventh Heaven ...

Sorry but I think you just proved it sucks in comparison. Look at I see the light in Tokyo's show.

What.. they projected a old curtain ? Where is it taking advantage of the shape or transforming what your eye believes to be there?

The prince is fine.. but moving or impressive? nah.

Show still looks like a WoC waterscreen to me.

Saw Guardians of the Galaxy tonight.

But really.. unless you are a drama/romance person.. go see this film. It's well worth it and makes you want to be in a theater.

Yeah but what purpose do any of the gimmicks during celebrate the magic serve? It's not a show more than it's a look at what we can make the castle into. Once upon a time has a point to it, and it's an actual show. If you watched the video you would see there are moments where the castle is indeed utilized, snow white, Cinderella, beauty and the beast, peterpan etc etc.

I actually agree with this, I have never been super into any of the marvel films so far. I always thought they were nice or cash ins just to get to the next avengers sequel (Thor and thor 2). But this film is on a whole different level of quality and honestly elevates the marvel brand name.

A unique show? I don't need to just watch a montage of movie clips on a really bad projection screen

Here's a couple of twitter pics of MK last night before the last parade, so around 11'ish? Looks pretty quiet in Frontierland...

And yet packed today.

Social media vacation. This counts.

If you desperately need to fine me, Jason can track me down.

BTW, if UNI is so packed daily, then would someone explain to me why they have decided to remove the blockout dates on the Power Passes for this month?

A fair question ... (although people don't react rationally when you ask a question they don't want to answer as I have found out this week yet again!)

Curious that Universal really seems to have misjudged the market here. Queues for most of the stores go unused, while the ice cream shop could easily have been twice as big. If anything, Diagon Alley (in terms of size) feels like what they should have built in 2010, but possibly a bit of overkill now. Not a critique of the land itself--still most detailed in Orlando--but at a certain point, a souvenir budget has a breaking point. There's a limit to how much stuff you can sell (cf. the vinylmation figures clogging up the Disney outlet stores).

DHS was packed today too, left the park around 6:30.

All true. You can't really blame them after the mess in 2010 though. I just hope this doesn't cause any kind of hesitation with future expansions if it's not doing as well as they thought it would. We need at least one company building aggressively in Orlando.

BTW, pseudo-cryptic news tidbits ...

If you want to sing (by yourself at least) in DHS ... better do it in the next 3 weeks, before Disney let's a certain attraction go early.

Also, a lot of Magic Kingdom performers may be looking for jobs in the Disaster queue house at HHN this year, because their Equity show is being cut as well.

Issue 2 of Figment is going to a third printing.

These sales are pretty nuts for a comic mini. I mean damn, I didn't expect there to be this much momentum, much less for an issue besides the first one.

Dreamfinder looks a little like Matt Smith in that picture...

that honestly doesn't look packed. it looks like a bunch of rides were down or in refurbishment and thus causing more traffic than normal in the outside areas.

 

[Sped2424]

Spoiler: GUARDIANS SPOILER IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE END CREDITS DO NOT CLICK.

If only figment showed up at the end rather than howard the duck!

Conversely, at the same time Epcot was dead.

Oh come on love, anything that can be spun as negative, regardless of topic, is your bread and butter.
PMSL at your faux insight, after all great visionary on one of your many many many boring social commentary's, odd I thought such things were verboten, were you not pontificating about the economic factors at play. You talk so much crap I accept it must be difficult to keep track. Your shifting stance on Universal has been notable, one would begin to suspect a whoring aspect were it anyone less independent.

But Im delighted, means more rides for me on what will be the last trip to Orlando for a few years.

Does this mean something else will go in there sooner?

Also like most Marvel movies, stay through the end credits.
