Disney is casting for live action Aladdin

That is interesting. They're actually going to cast middle eastern actors for Aladdin and Jasmine. I think it will be very rare if they go with all unknown actors. Good for Disney.

Well this might not be official but otherwise it could very well leaked. The Rivers of Light sound track did leak before the show opened.

I'm open minded about these live-action remakes. The thing with Aladdin is that, unlike with most voice actors out there, you simply can't replace Robin Williams, and Disney knows it. I wonder if they'd be willing to re-use his dialogues. Walt Disney Animation has hours worth of footage from Robin's recording sessions, but who knows. At the end of the day it would be kind of weird.

There will never be another Genie like Robin Williams, no doubt. That being said, DH and I saw Aladdin in Disneyland in 2015, and the actor who played Genie was superb! He did a great job of capturing the spirit of the original Genie, but he also made it his own. He was so good that I didn't really miss Robin Williams' version.

I've heard it could be relatively soon but we don't know for sure.

enjoy your cruise! We have our first cruise booked for next Feb - on the Wonder (though, it just got totally redone so has most of the features of the newer ships at this point). We have 3 small kids so even though it is pricey it really seems like the best option for us with the great kids clubs, etc.

The RCL and some others look really cool but seem more geared towards adults or at least older kids

Just got off the Oasis, the ship was great, never felt crowded (even at the pools), but the food was mediocre (all the desserts had a weird gelatin consistency), service was more miss then hit, and the kids club was disappointing (there was a port day where they had the kids in a corner watching the TV ALL day).
