I went tonight, around 11 pm, and it was a full house. There's a whole pre-show in the lobby about Royal Dano, Paul Frees is back with intro duties, and the music is fully restored, with bonuses for those of us who know our Disney music! "Two Brothers" is even back! I'm not sure what to make of Abe, though. The in-theater pre-show is more moving than the "great moments" themselves. There are some programming kinks that need to be smoothed out in the animation. The hyper-real facial expressions just don't jive with the clunky body movements and the occasional extravagant gestures. I'm so glad it's back, especially in it's original style of presentation, but the Imagineers just can't quash their need to show off with a suped up Abe.
90%.
