Ok, having watched a stream that is higher resolution and didn't cut out, here are my thoughts.....at least until better cam videos come out and also when I ride it in a few weeks.
1. I didn't think they'd have room to put a kitchen in the queue, so kudos for that.
2. Louis is less "hidden" behind the okra, so it is easier to tell he's there.
3. The faster flume definitely makes the pacing better and there wasn't as many dead spaces like at WDW.
4. On the flip side of #3, I also think the faster pacing really showcases the lack of story a lot more too. Just my opinion.
5. I feel the first half of the indoor portion is better at DL, but the second half (laughing place) is better at WDW. After the "shrinking" drop there is a good portion of dead space before the tiny second drop. At WDW all of the frogs are playing in what feels more like a single room (like a band) and here if feels like you pass by each frog as if they are being showcased one by one....if that makes sense. Also, no jumping water fountains.
6. DL version seems darker, but could just be because all the live streams are coming from cell phones.
7. Before the shrink drop, they should have switched Tiana/Louis (the one we saw in the Imagineering video where she's sitting on the log) with the frogs on the log so that she is in front of the guests instead of off to the side.
8. Finale is exactly the same, so no comment.
Again, I'll probably ride this on hot day when I want to get wet, but still believe it is a major step down from Splash.
