Vintage t-shirts coming to Disney Parks On-line: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...ng-to-disney-parks-online-store-on-august-18/

I really like to purchase the Journey Into Imagination shirt expect that last few of these collectible t-shirts I've ordered have been so thin that you could see through them.

I like the journey one as well. I'm not so sure why someone would want a preview center shirt. I feel like there are better vintage things they could've done.

I hope they come in womens sizes, too.

You and I both know that there are people out there that are going to go bananas over that shirt. That's the great thing about Disney. There's been so many things to come and go in the parks that you can really find niche things that you like. And it's good for Disney because they can release random stuff like the Preview Center shirt and still make a buck.

I had never heard of that, but this shirt allowed me to look it up, read up on it, and I feel like this would be something I would have loved to see in person. I may end up buying the shirt just because I like the idea of what the Preview Center was.

Another Disney animation to live action movie is in the works: The Little Mermaid

Variety Reports: http://variety.com/2016/film/news/l...ittle-mermaid-producer-songwriter-1201838485/

Great! Then we might see that one before we ever do see the Original Little Mermaid animated one,
the first of a string of successes for Disney.

We loved the live action Jungle Book.
Especially as we never saw the original, animated one.

That sounds like a group of angry parents on the phone.

And of the three he posted, the Preview Center is the one I liked the most.
But I also don't understand the appeal of Figment (probably because I only know the ride in it's current version).

The perks of making it an online sale only is that they can churn out designs quickly since they are printed on demand, so why not go with some of the seemingly stranger choices

When I was around 12, I begged my parents, grandparents, and just about any relative in my family to take me to Orlando to see the preview center. Didn't work. That's how long I've been a WDW fan.

Around one year before Epcot Center opened, WDW started previews of the park by monorail. You could take the monorail from the TTC to Epcot and the train would slowly wind its way through Epcot Center so you could see the park before it opened. Again, couldn't get any family members to take me. I did make it to Epcot Center about three weeks after it opened.

That sounds fascinating. I wish Disney wasn't afraid to show off the tech they are testing like they used to do during The Wonderful World of Disney. Or just the things they are working on in general. They didn't care about competition back then because they were always moving forward with new ideas. As soon as they finished a project they started on something new...something innovative. I'd love to be able to see the process in real time. Always love looking at the models in the One Man's Dream building.

It's extremely offensive to women (I'm going to shock you by violating you while we're intimate), being a parent has nothing to do with it.

Might be a cultural thing. That'd never cross my mind seeing that sign, but I guess it's up to different interpretations. Thanks for clarifying.

If we are being technical, his hand gesture does not technically represent what everyone thinks it does. Technically the index and middle finger should be touching if it were to represent what everyone is thinking it represents. There is a clear gap between his index and middle finger in the original video.

Perhaps it was his intention, perhaps he was trying to symbolize something else. No one really knows unless they ask him.

I never even noticed it, and I tend to have a mind for these things.

I wonder when they are going to remove that Nazi from the Grand Floridian mural.

Whether or not he did it on purpose (I'm inclined to think he did just to see if he could get away with putting an offensive gesture in WDW for laughs, but that's me), it's been known that he did it intentionally or not for probably as long as the ride's been out (I can find disboards threads taking about it from 2005). Babies frequently flip off the camera and everyone thinks it's funny - you're not going to find any babies flipping off the camera in Disney marketing photos though, because it's not appropriate for the audience.

I like Figment the character but not the ride. I still ride it once a trip though. I never got to experience the old version either.

As for the preview center I feel like not a lot of people know what that was.

Rumor

I knew Fantasmic in Disneyland was set to get some changes but WDWNT claims the changes include Pirates of the Caribbean
