My DS8 has an eye disorder and he can not see in 3D. He's failed every 3D test the eye doctor has given him in the last 8 years.
The first year we went to WDW we avoided all the 3D shows.
The second time we decided to go see Philharmagic because we took our neice and we knew she would enjoy it.... we told our son to put on the 3D glasses so the screen wouldn't be too blurry.
The first time he reached up for something coming out of the screen.... I started screaming for my husband who was sitting a couple seats down from me. " He can see! He can see!" I cried during the entire show..... my eyes were glued to my son who couldn't believe what he was seeing.
My son's doctor says it was different technology using the polarized lenses that allowed my son to see in 3D...... my son says it was Disney Magic. I have to agree with him.
