News Round Up 2018

[AMusicLifeForMe]

This isn't new or a rumour but just a reminder to those with PVRs that we are now within the 1 week window to record 'Mickey's 90th Spectacular' airing this coming Sunday evening!

Does anyone know why this isn’t airing on Mickey AND Minnie’s actual Birthday?

Disney research working on augmented reality costumes

Obviously oversimplifying, but it seems like it would take "Magic Shots" to the next level - so I could see other applications beyond "outfits" but just other elements that interact with you more than what they do now with the magic shots

It looks good. Glad to see they cleared some clutter. Moving the lightsaber creation to a bigger area helps. To be honest, the last time we were at DHS (pre-TSL), this was the only place in the whole park we felt jammed in. It was just a mess moving around in here. Hopefully this helps.

Worth it just for that bigger "build your lightsaber" section! Having that at the front of the store was very crowded.
Hard to tell .. do they still have a "build a droid" section?

DREAMS DO COME TRUE! Winter Soldier has always been my favorite Marvel character next to Cap, of course. I hope this happens!

I don't know if it has been talked about yet on here but has anyone watched the Hocus Pocus 25th Anniversary Halloween Bash special?

I recorded it and admittedly fast forwarded through some things (wasn't really into the live performances by the acts and the host aspects of it TBH other than the actors themselves coming out and talking to the audience but that's just me).

However it was really neat to see and learn about the special effects, origins of the movie, how they did certain things (like with the live cats, billy, etc), how the actors felt about the movie and how they put their spin on the characters, etc.

In any case not trying to give away too much detail but if you have a chance it's worth watching mostly for the stuff listed above lol

I was in a hotel room in the middle of nowhere the night it came out so I watched the whole thing. I felt the same as you, wasn't really interested in the fashion show or musical performances, but loved all the behind the scenes stuff and hearing from the stars.

And it’s been under a bag for the past few weeks.

And it’s been under a bag for the past few weeks.

Yeah, it was pretty pathetic looking too. And of course they unveil this AFTER my trip to Disneyland. Well I guess we still have Bing Bong to look forward to.

I forgot about Bing Bong! That’s taking way too long.

I'm just watching it now. I didn't understand what it was going to be. Thought it would be the movie with a few minutes of trivia and interviews before and after commercial breaks

Uh oh. I'm sorry I hope I didn't confuse you on what it was!

So glad to see this! Missed Luxo when it was at DHS a few years ago. Maybe we get something similar back at WDW?
