News Round Up 2017

Yes! And, the creatures all seem creepy. Still optimistic about it, though.

I don't think it's supposed to be a really soft and cuddly place...more of a wild, alien land with plants and animals we aren't familiar with...

When I think "creepy" - the first thing that comes to mind at Disney is the clown pool at Boardwalk. I dislike even walking past it....that's creepy....HA HA HA

No worries it happens.

You'll be able to report back on how the changes are!

Exactly. If you watch the video with Cameron and Whoopi, this land is set long after the existing movies and potential sequels. You really don't need to watch the movies to enjoy this land.

I agree. This could have been built even if the movies never existed IMO.

Course then somebody would say they should make a movie out of this.

Probably first an animated one, then they would release it as a live action remake.

Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the floor - those beautiful bioluminescent floors. I've never seen avatar, but I was always excited for the land because I love fantasy and bioluminescence. Hoping that the rumors of a soft opening weeks ahead of the opening date are true!

Nice one. Actually it was kinda animated. The land is live action though.

Projections say Beauty and The Beast is going to do incredibly well.

All shows thursday through sunday opening weekend are sold out here.

My favorite thing about today is all the oohs and ahh were getting from the people who thought Avatar was stupid and not a great fit for AK... I know you've been on board and so have I... literally since day 1. People are finally seeing that Disney has still got it! Let's hope the inside and rides match level of what's outside!!!

All I have to say is "Where all the haters at now?!?!"

Obviously can't say for sure until I see it in person, but it looks like Disney has actually found away to top Universal's Harry Potter for total immersion!! Looks amazing!!

Will do! The Star Wars update to the Oceaneer Club looks cool, unfortunately I'm just a few years over the age criteria to enter.

So...did anyone else have this reaction to the live action Beauty and the Beast preview?

Belle wearing dress, apron and sweater, runs to the top of a hill with mountains in the background. She throws her arms out, spins around and...wait...what???...shouldn't she be singing "the hills are alive with the sound of music"...oops, wrong movie.

YES!!!! My husband and I both thought this!

The land is very impressive indeed. The mountains will look amazing from a guest's perspective. I hope that the river ride is much more than just another Small World type of system. They have so many patents for enhanced versions of the boat ride system that they haven't used so far.

The track we could see from aerials looks to be a bit different than a simple small world ride system but I agree.

Oh, good! It wasn't just us! I actually started singing it under my breath, causing my mom an daughter to burst out laughing! They were thinking it was familiar, too!
