Two Disk Planning DVD?!

Same graphic design on the cover is on the DVD menu. Interesting song opening up the menu. Not typical Disney. Nice, though.

*checks special features*

Recent Additions. Yep, a new host, Erin. Cinderellabration. Soarin'. More images of SE without the wand. As usual. LMA"X". Stitch and then MickPhil-A (ha!). And Wishes. And back to Epcot for M:S. A little late, but they've included it anyway.


Main part. Epcot. Something really weird. It seems they edited out the wand in the background of a shot with the host. I've freezed the frame. It's really weird, there is no wand. From that angle, I would think it would be visible. My guess is they edited it out. Not sure why - there are lots of other scenes in the same section that have the wand. But it looks like they purposely edited it out of at least one scene with the host. Odd. Maybe my eyes are fooling me.

Intro with Soarin'. One scene with the host. She goes: "Land or Space?... Space!" I sense something in that. Or I'm just reading too much into it. lol

Ah, there are 3 co-hosts. Including "Dave" who has an infatuation with benches. :lookaroun

At AK, mention of Everest.


All in all, this is a radical departure from what we are used to in planning videos. Completely new format of hosts and co-hosts. Very interesting. I'll give it my approval. Although no mention of COP ( :( )... Very interesting.

I got mine today and I'm almost afraid to watch it since I don't know when my next trip will be :cry: Does it depress anyone else to watch it when they don't have a trip to look forward to?

Wow, I have to disagree with everyone here.

As I watched the DVD, my scowl became more and more pronounced. Does Disney really find it necessary to get 'hosts' that become more and more hyper and ridiculous every year? This one came to the level of insulting my intelligence. It seemed to be aimed squarely at the teenage sector, with a little more added in at what seemed to be the last minute when someone realized, "hey, there's nothing in here for families or anyone else!"

Good news- almost all of the footage was new. they got rid of the overused "magical gatherings"
Bad news- almost everything else. ridiculously hyper and exagerated hosts. music from parades/shows replaced with annoying pop music. overused bench joke. replaced overused "magical gatherings" with overused "Happiest Celebration on Earth".

If this continues, I'm just not going to order more of these DVDs- it's not worth the lowering of my brain capacity.

I liked the video. It was more like a special in the travel channel.

The host added to the "fun & excitment" of WDW.

Its about time they aimed it to the young adults instead of just kiddie stuff. I am 26 and I think it was aimed just right. Rember. When at WDW, we're all big kids.

Um....HELLO!!!! "Happiest Celebration on Earth" is the big thing this year. They are going to play on it as much as possible.

The bench thing was great. Hardly anyone thinks about just stoping and resting for a few while at the park.

Unfortunately, I don't think so. No CBJ. It's the same focus of attractions (headliners and super headliners), just with new content, new shots, and of course, the sweet to some, bitter to others overlay of the hosts.

Great. . . :rolleyes:

I'm glad it was free.

Did they have to act like idiots for the entire thing? I'm 15- I stared at the TV for the entire show, not believing the stupidity of the entire thing. Perhaps they need a reminder: "a Magic Kingdom where the young at heart of all ages can laugh and play and learn -- together."

People have been complaining for years that they can never seem to stop talking about their current promotion- some is definitely OK, but enough is enough.

The bench thing was amusing the first few times. After the 40th or so, it became simply incredibly annoying.

No need to be rude.

It would be really cool if they included all of the new commercials on the disc, especially the one that has all the characters going to WDW. Anything cool on the CD-Rom?

Just remember that this video is a promotional device. It is an advertisment trying to get you to visit the theme park. So it's not going to be the best video that you've ever seen based on that fact alone.

Even though they are usually better than the DVD's sold within the parks! :lol: ;)
