I tested Stitch Live!!! [SPOILER]

[PeterPaan]

SPOILER AHEAD !!!!

I was in Paris a few days ago and I've been to DLRP twice on tuesday and thursday. Large crowds and weather was bad both days, but overall I had a good time.

Thurday, while visiting the WDS I saw incidentally a group of guests in front Stitch Live! entering the Disney Channel building. I joined them and noticed that there were quite a lot of Disney staff, not only the regular CM but also suit and tie Disney staff that greeted us. A CM told us the show is in french (however eventually the show was in english) and we waited about 10 minutes in the first "waiting" room : the same as the former Disney Channel tour.
Then after waiting (in the cold) we entered the pre-show room. A wide room with blue lights, with 4 plasma screens airing the latest Disney channel releases. That presentation was in french.
Then a Disney imagineer greeted us and said he was so happy to welcome here the very first guests: Everyone cheered and he apologized in advance for any technical issues that could occur as the show was still in rehearsal.

We entered the theater, where I sat on a not-so-comfortable metal bench. I already knew that the show is interactive so i chosed a seat in the rear of the theater so Stitch could certainly not bother me there.

The image quality was excellent and the animation was just perfect, considering the screen is quite large. Some Disney characters tell sometimes corny jokes, but Stitch was actually funny and people laughed a lot.
I didn't have high expectations about this show but in the end i found the attraction very cute and is definiteley a very good addition to the Studios (even if some may think that any addition is good for the WDS )
My main concern about it is that the audience has to be "good" too. I mean if everyone stay distant and shy (a bit like me that day ) the show can get boring I guess...

Thanks for sharing your experience with is, how lucky that you were there at the just the right time
I did read that Karl Holz was seen in the parks earlier this week, so I suspect the people in suits were DLRP's top brass.

Have to say I can't wait for our next visit, we avoided the Studios completely last year, (lack of time both visits) so there are so many new sights and attractions - I'm really excited about going back in there.

Sounds great
I cant wait to see it, maybe even ask Stitch a question.

If it is anything like Turtle Talk in WDW it will be fantastic - As you say the audience will be the making of your show.

Was there a space for the kids to sit down the front ?

How many people would the show sit at a time do you think?



Thanks for the info

Hi BRobson,
I think there were about 50 people inside the theater, and around 10 kids sitting on the floor right in front of the screen. But Stich could also see people in the rear seats too

We saw this in English on Wednesday and in French on Friday.
There is a poster up on a notice-board outside the attraction which tells you which times are in English and which are in French on that day.
They put the poster up first thing in the morning, maybe take it down again when it gets busy, and put it up again after lunch when the shows start.
They have different numbers of French and english shows each day.
It's worth seeing and really good fun, but maybe not for people who are too 'cool' to join in and feel they have to yell stuff like 'this is soooooo stupid'.
cos it's just plain rude!
my little boy who's nearly 3 loved it and did it again straight away both times with his dad.
it's a great solution to the problem that if you have some kids old enough for the thrill rides and some who're not there's not much to do while one parent waits with the little ones.

Thanks for the info, it sounds like a fun attraction.

 

[poppyolivia]

Sorry but what doesit actually do? Do you have to touch the screens or something?

 

[Ware Bears]

Here's details about it DLRP Magic.

It's a really quick easy download and he's great fun, at the moment he's climbing up my screen and sliding back down it.
