Movie previews are low cost, low hanging fruit for management...

Expect more of them...like "projection shows"

I wonder what the split is on these movie premiers. For a while they were all going to epcot, now more are going to DHS. I would have to check, and I am just guessing, but are all the animated going to Epcot and live action to DHS? Is there any reason for that split?

I know Epcot got Inside out, and DHS got cinderella, jungle book and now this....

Evidently DHS has more fruit trees.

If it's not a bother, in the future if you could paste the link in for additional discussion that would be hugely helpful. I come here via subscription, so I tend to miss those threads (and I'm fairly certain I'm not alone in that regard!). If it's a pain to get the link, don't bother then, I can deal with the inconvenience!

Agree...all of them...

You know the reality? Animal kingdom lodge just became a much better hotel.

I have been thinking the same thing!

Why in the world did they get rid of Louis? Oh no, that friendly alligator playing the trumpet and dancing with tiana and friends is SURELY going to traumatize my child!

Princess & the Frog. One of my favorite movies, as well as DD8. Loved seeing Tic tic croc in parade. I disagree with this. Hope Louis is there on our next trip.

Seems like for the most part they have a plan with the sequels, but still glad to see they are getting back to more originals

We don't know what those two in 2020 will be though. Those could both be originals.

Thanks for update, but DPB really late on this. HalloWishes Dessert Package has been available since May 5th, & Wishes Holiday Dessert Party, which named wrong in article, has been available for at least 2 weeks. Also, numerous threads on dining cutoff times on party nights for 2016 that haven't been in place before & they say it in 1 sentence at very bottom. Ha! Glad I actually read the pop-up boxes & T&C before confirming reservations.

I know not a ton of people watch the One Man's Dream movie - but the last thing i am going to spend time doing during my theme park visit is watching a movie preview.

I can't say I'm super excited for this - but Pete's Dragon is exactly the type of movie that SHOULD be remade. There are fond memories of the original, but the fact is it isn't a very good movie.

Agreed. I've actually never seen One Man's Dream and have wanted to finally check it out the last few times I've been, but it's always a movie preview. I don't know why anyone would ever watch that.

Always seemed to me a special circle of hell where you have to pay for a premium event within another premium event that you paid extra for. Maybe they should have VIP seating for dessert party and they can get people to pay THREE times. (I probably shouldn't give them ideas.)
