See Princess and the Frog at Walt Disney Studios

[LSPoorEeyorick]

I don't think this has been brought up here before, but Disney announced they were doing a limited release of Princess and the Frog in NY and LA - not at El Cap, but on the Disney Studio lot.

It seems like this might be a fun Disney-themed swanking.

It runs from Thanksgiving week through December 13. Since we're in Italy and France for Thanksgiving, we won't be able to go until the weekend, Dec 4/5/6 or 11/12/13.

Anybody interested in joining us? We should probably grab tickets quickly - they're limited.

Pick a date and I'll request the day off now and buy the tickets for the Wolfpack along with you!

Keep in mind that GC, Sac & Scrooge will be in town on the weekend of the 12 & 13th of Dec.

Just was reminded that we will be heading to the Disney Museum the weekend of the 5 & 6th.....

Um, Sac posted (http://www.loungeoftomorrow.com/LoT/showpost.php?p=298019&postcount=16) that the weekend is the 5th and 6th, not the 12th and 13th.

At 50 bucks a pop this better be an amazing experience.

Wow. Is Princess Tiana is giving everyone handjobs during the film?

Tiana's dad kinda looks like Obama:

The $50/ticket comes with a bunch of souvenirs. The $30/ticket isn't too much more expensive than the El Cap, with the added bonus of getting you into the studio if you haven't been before.

[~MS~]

For the dates we could go all the less expensive seats were already gone.


Edited to add, ok I'm a goober, I didn't see the little box at the side bottom with general admission, I was just rolling the cursor over the right and left boxes ....winner of todays duh ploma here!

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Their gen admission tickets on the site are very confusing. They actually are available, you have to click on the link, not on the green or yellow seating areas. They're being somewhat tricky about it.

[Gemini Cricket]

I'd be willing to go. Haven't been on that lot yet. Would be neat to see.
:)

[Prudence]

I'd consider going. Need to get out of the house more.

[~MS~]

Now that I found the 30 dollar tickets, I am seriously considering it.

[flippyshark]

I'm told that those who went to the presentation by Bob Iger at D26 today got to see 30 minutes of this. (The first 30?)

[innerSpaceman]

Well, I'm not at all excited to see this movie. Certainly pricing it at $50 is not inspiring me to run right out.


Of course, the lure is the Disney Studio. And I guess that's the key. The movie can't stand on its own, and is likely getting tepid anticipation results.


I'm gonna give it a pass. I've been on the lot.

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Again, $30 tickets are available. But if you're not feeling it, you're not feeling it! All's well. I'm still excited to see the film.

[Prudence]

The film's villain reminds me of Baron Samedi. This disturbs me for some reason, and I'm not that excited about the film because it looks, from this perspective, like a "we're using the approved formula so it should be great!!!" sort of straight-to-DVD feature. But, I could be wrong. And, I've never been to the Disney Studio, so that's appealing.

[~MS~]

It really is the studio appeal that has me considering the $30.00 price point, the added goodies and 'special rows' weren't tempting me at $50.00 but I've done the El Cap at about 20 so for an additional 10 I get all the princess's....scrap book heaven, and the movie and a peek behind the curtain...I'm leaning more and more in that direction.

[lashbear]

Do it ! You know you want to... :evil: ;)

[Disneyphile]

Here's a link (http://www.facebook.com/ThePrincessandtheFrog?v=app_157966850411) to discounted tickets for 11/25 and 11/26 (Thanksgiving) for just $21, and it still includes the Studio tour.

We're thinking about going on the 26th. Anyone else interested?

[wolfy999]

I work that entire weekend, or the Wolfpack would be very interested....alas Disney does not allow for fun during that particular weekend!

[Morrigoon]

Sounds like fun, but I'm sure they'd be sold out before I had the $ to do it.

[Disneyphile]

We just got tickets for the 7pm show on Thanksgiving.

[Chernabog]

I'd see it for $21 on the 25th, which is a Wednesday, at 4:00pm. I mean, it's Thanksgiving weekend and I can totally ditch work early.

Edit: Awww wish I could see it with u DP but I need to do TWO thanksgivings, I think.... maybe 7pm is possible though, and a good excuse to leave thanksgiving early!!! I'll keep u posted.

Anyway, the tour is after the screening, so you wouldn't need to show up until after 6:30. Stuff some turkey in a doggy bag and join us. ;)

Very cool - have fun! We'll be going when we get back, one of the December weekends.

[Disneyphile]

Last night was AWESOME.

Studio-wise, nighttime is a bit different than the day offerings, and well worth it.

Photos are allowed everywhere, except inside the theater.

Anyway, I'll recap more when I post photos, but it was well worth it and a lot of fun. :)

[wolfy999]

Looking forward to seeing the pics!

[RStar]

Me too! I would have loved to go, but it's just not in the cards....
