Definitely off topic but I had to share with my nerd/geek family.
My son, after working at Universal since he left H.S. (He'll be 20 in June) at the Diagon Alley Tales of Beedle the Bard/Celestina show as a stage hand finally got into Frog Choir over at IOA. He'll be starting as vocal percussionist and then tenor. I'm so proud of him. He's worked very hard for this and he has always wanted to get into entertainment.

Congratulations to your son! How exciting!

I got the Digital Download w/bonus features yesterday from Amazon. Linked it to my Disney Movies account and got 150 points added to my Disney Movie Rewards. I don't have any DVDs of the movies, they're all on my Amazon Prime/Disney movies account.

Oh my gosh, how exciting! I hope he gets the full-time choir. We'll be at Universal in a few weeks. I'm taking my mom down for Mother's Day because she's a huge HP fan. She also loves Epcot, so we'll be spending a few days at WDW, too. I really want to hear the choir while we're there. I was a huge choir geek in high school and college.

I loaded up our digital version and finally got around to hooking up our Apple TV to watch it. About two minutes in, my son asked if we could watch Star Wars rebels instead, because he didn't want to watch "that whiny dude." Aka Kylo Ren. The movie will wait until he's in bed now. One thing I noticed about Star Wars Rebels, the producers clearly know their market includes boys and girls. One commercial break included ads for Lego Nexo Knights, My Little Pony, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Ever After High Dolls.

thanks, he just found out he'll be cast C, basically, temporary for now, he starts Tuesday and also will sing Thursday, I'm going to try and go on Thursday to record him
Your mom will love the HP areas in the parks they are very well themed and immersive
The latest episode of Rebels is sooooo good.

Going to DHS to take pics of construction walls stay tuned

We are a family of non-runners that couldn't pass of the inaugural merch - so we have all taken up running and will be participating in the race! I signed my DH up to run the 10k JUST because the medal was better than the 5k! DS and I are doing the 5k and DD the kids races. Between the race registration, race gear, and race merch - we are going to go broke! Ha! But - I am looking forward to doing it once! Unclear if I will ever do it again - but will do it once!

This is what happened to us 4 years ago. My brother talked my DH and me (not runners in the least) to sign up for the January Disney Half. We did it, saying "I only have to do it once"..... well.....

We are now on our 5th RunDisney half with the Dark Side Challenge (first time doing a challenge!). We did the inaugural Avengers, have a coast-to-coast, and we are dying to do Wine and Dine, but the timing is tough. Beware.... it is truly addicting! Have a great time!

If anyone here is my friends on fb, I just posted pics of the walls at dhs, they have concept art for tsland but not for swland. Anyone can grab the album and share it here.

Also today SWaGFFA is soft opening at 11:30, taking video and posting it later, hoping for Capt Phasma to patrol as well.

I saw the pictures - what is it like to walk around the park now? I used to always cut through Streets of America and wrap around to the back to get back to Pixar Place... now I feel like ABC Commissary area will be so much more crowded as it appears it is the only way to go now - is that correct? I assume there is a wall at the end of Pixar Place and then a wall by Writer's Stop and past the muppets? Or can you still walk around someway? I guess I need a video walk through to totally visualize it!

Dead end at writers stop and dead end at pixar place, a lot of people was back tracking not knowing it was a dead end

So exciting. Lewis and I won't be there until 4:30ish (if we don't get too distracted at Epcot) so we'll have to see it a different day. Can't wait to see your video.

Phasma was supposed to do her second March at 11am but got canceled, the entire tonn from when they step out next to launch bay lasts about 10 minutes. Waiting for the first SWaGFFA

Awesome! Thanks!

 

[yulilin3]

[yulilin3]

Periscope the first show but it's not letting me Link it...the video is on periscope under yulilin

 

[yulilin3]

The show is nice but not super intricate, a couple of technical difficulties but it went well over all

 

[msmama]

I've got this thread on my phone. Watching yuli's periscope on my iPad and have SW Rebels on tv. Good Sunday.

 

[yulilin3]

So the Phasma March is kinda cool, even though it lasts only 5 minutes. I got some awesome pics of her and the new show, heading home in about an hour and uploading
