Since all of us love these live action remakes…

Just saw this on Twitter and it's just the level of bad I expected. Kind of relieved that it's not the worst thing I've ever seen but this still looks bad.

Thanks for sharing. I'm not a fan of the remakes generally but I'm actually looking forward to this one. It just looks fun.

 

[Brian Noble]

Agreed. It doesn't look like a shot-for-shot remake; I think that will help!

That is better. Honestly, Stitch has such a widespread continuity, they could have just made the movie an original story set in the universe. Maybe that wouldn't have done as well, but still.

I like that idea! Maybe they can do that next

I had never really watched Lilo & Stitch, but when Disney+ came out I went through the rabbit hole - not only did I really enjoy it, the series keeps a very tight continuity with all of hte other experiments and when things happen. The direct-to-video moveis do too. It's actually a well-formed sci-fi universe.

Hm, maybe I'll finally give them a try! My brother loves the series and sequels, I just figured they'd be meh

If you do, the order is:

Lilio & Stitch
Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch (produced after the latter, but canonically before)
Stitch! The Movie (Pilot for series)
Lilo & Stitch: The Series
Leroy & Stitch (Finale for series)

You could even go further and try to find:

Stitch! (Japanese series taking place after the above)
Stitch & Ai (Chinese series taking place after the series - possibly not incorprating the Japanese series)

It's all connected.

I wish Michael Clarke Duncan was still alive, he's always been the perfect actor for Mr. Bubbles in my head.

I've honestly been excited for this for a while, and this trailer cemented it for me.

For those wondering about the state of Dinoland at DAK, it doesn't exist any more. Even the huge dinosaur in the games area is gone. The only thing left is the Dino attraction and the boneyard.

Mmmm tough to recommend at least how today was.

Appears very popular though.

Drove but were turned away. Course no sign out on the road, would have been nice to as the back up about 15 min.

So you take an AK bus, switch to B Beach bus. Same going back. Lines were still quite long at 4, as we went later hoping it would help. They were still turning cars away then FYI. No Typhoon L either so...

Wow, so you weren't able to use the check in benefit? Will they let you use it a different day?

Local here. We got there at 11 this morning. Was aiming to be there by 9:30, but were stuck in a backup on 429 due to a multi-vehicle accident. Parked in the last row before where the in-road splits the parking lot. Made it through the slow-moving tapstiles, then realized I forgot my phone in the car. Which sucks, because I was finally going to use mobile payment this time instead of running back and forth to the locker for my card. Thought about going back for the phone, but decided it wasn't worth the effort.

We first went to look for any available seats in the general vicinity of our usual spot, then after nabbing them, got a locker then grabbed lunch. Hit the lazy river after that, strategically selecting the entry point least likely to be crowded (the one by the loungers past Lottawatta Lodge). Luckily, we didn't have to wait too long until there were actually some of the chair-style tubes available. Stayed in the lazy river 2 hours, got out, and saw long lines everywhere, including for the urinals in the men's changing room. Sat for a little bit, got some ice cream (fortunately got in line when it was relatively short), got back in the lazy river for a couple laps, then left. Considered a popcorn for the road, but the line at that stand was too long. But, hey, at least Western Way wasn't backed up on the way home like it was the past couple times we were on property.

Sorry for the delay. We went from later from BW via AK bus/switch to BB.

Got a couple hours in. Fun to see after like 20 years, did a couple slides.

If both parks were open, it would work better IMO, esp hot sunny days.

When was the last time both parks were open at the same time?
