So @WebmasterJackie just answered this question on Facebook -apparently the statue in the land is Andy’s toy of Jessie whereas the meet and greet is the “Real” - Jessie

So would be like if he had a doll of Cinderella and then you met the realm cinderella

But Andy's "toy of Jessie" is the "real" Jessie...

Most telling about that is the person appears to be a big fan of the original (and the Anaheim version).

Honestly, we did the ABD Backstage magic, and knowing all those things, I STILL can't justify the double to triple price that Disney charges for ABD versus traveling on my own. Especially since quite honestly I love the adventure of traveling on my own.

How much does it cost you to get into the Jim Henson Studios on your own? How about Disney Imagineering? Mickey's of Glendale? The Walt Disney Studios?

He's overly brutal with his review. I saw it twice in preview/development in Denver including the very first show open to the public. I really enjoyed it as did my family. I don't think Frozen will have any problems selling tickets even with reviews like this one.

Dreading going back to the cold but it is what it is. I’ll be back in November for Wine and Dine. Excited to give that a try. I really had a great trip and I hope you guys enjoyed following my “live” updates. I plan on doing a trip report for a more in depth review of what I did.

Luckily it’s not supposed to snow where I live but it will be much colder than Florida.

We're heading for F&W at the same time! Have you never gone?

Never been!

Here is your first-hand report:
Yes, it's cold here, so tonight might be a shock to your system. But the snow tonight/tomorrow will be around 100+ miles to the south. You should be glad to know that it hits the low 50s the beginning of next week.

Thanks for sharing your trip with everyone and for all of the news! Hope you have a good flight.

Um... I ate one myself...

Happy to see the warm cinnamon roll still there - that thing can feed a family of four! The sandwiches look pretty good...

They're HUGE....I had a blowout on RT4, and was able to use one of those as a fill in to get me to the next rest stop..LOL

Whenever I see a review like that, I always think the person went in knowing exactly what they were going to say. Broadway is always expensive to attend. I will still give this show a try, but I probably won’t be able to see it unless it does a U.S. Tour.

No not the ABD BSM trip. I said that was super worth it I would recommend it to any Disney fan! I just don't feel the other ones are. You do get to do some exclusive things as well, but I just don't see them worth justifying the added expense. My sister and brother-and-law do ABDs every year, but they can afford it. I can't.

I don't know if I see the value for us in most of the US or the European ABD trips. We feel very comfortable in Europe, even with our son. I have thought an African safari or China would be good with ABD. The new Japanese tour doesn't really appeal to me, but I am not very intimidated by traveling to Japan. I do need to restudy my Japanese language books from college before we go, which I think we will do in 2022. I would love to do the Backstage Magic Tour though. I think there's a lot of value in that one.

I managed to resist the castle, but the daughter is getting this, whether she wants it or no.

I’m leaving at the right time. It’s crazy busy at MK today.

Tonight was crazy. We waited 40 mins for POTC at 1015! “We want the rum!” Is not as catchy as we want the redhead....
