Matt - the booing was quick and did not overwhelm the day in any way.
Art Linkletter spoke, and he was awesome as always. Iger actually got applause - I guess we aren't really judging him yet. Eisner sounded like he had a cold or had simply talked his throat out the day before, which is likely. Leanne Rimes and Christina Aguilera sang, big f'n deal. Julie Andrews got an amazing reception, and a guy behind us yelled "I love you Mary Poppins!" She introduced the segment where they showed bits from all the other parks. Gerard Depardieu reported from Paris, Wayne Brady from Florida, and Kermit and Miss Piggy from the Disney Cruise line. They even had a report from Hong Kong. That and Japan had "local celebrities". Florida got a cheer, and the new west coast Disney cruise got a BIG cheer.
I couldn't see the screens nor the people. But I held up my camera a bunch. And I heard everything.
They let off some fireworks and doves flew and they unveiled the 50th symbol on the front of the castle. Judge the crowns however you want - I don't think it's nearly as horrid as it could have been.
Afterward some swankers wanted to see the new exhibit at the Disney Gallery so we hung out there until it opened. A line formed behind us. A line for the closed Disney Gallery! What a crazy day.
Ok, I'm just going to post this for God's sake and maybe say more in a bit....
