The name is now an unpronounceable glyph.

I love that the walkthrough is coming back, it's just kind of frustrating that it's 13 years and counting since Disneyland got an actual new E-ticket.

Are you kidding???????? What about "Rockin' Space Mountain" ?

So, according to what Tony Baxter said on the new Sleeping Beauty DVD set, the walkthrouh is being restored to the original 1957 version with updated effects. So this will not be the 1977 'Barbie doll' version we last saw in 2001, nor will it be a new version.
The reopening date has been pushed back to December 12th.

BTW: If you haven't already done so, purchase this new release of Sleeping Beauty. The film has been rematted to it's full 2.55:1 aspect ratio (previous releases were matted @ 2.35:1). The original audio mix (recorded in Germany) has also been restored. The film sounds & looks better than ever!

Take a look:

I may actually buy this. Sleeping Beauty has always been, for me, one of the most beautiful of Disney's animations. Thanks for the info and the screen caps!

Wow: I feel like I just watched the movie

Thanks Issac!

I did get the DVD, but I'm going to wait to see it on my new HD LCD TV and Blueray. But I did watch the castle walkthrough segment. There will be a few things missing from the original, though they were short lived anyway (Goon eyes, and add-a-snore) and something is being added that was never in the original version (though I can't remember what it is at the moment). Also, one thing that was short lived in the original will now be brought back (in spoiler in case you want to be surprised).

Spoiler:

The original one was so much better than the Main Street window version. I'm looking forward to it.

As soon as I get a second to breathe, I'll be buying both the DVD (to watch now) and the Blu-Ray (to watch someday when I have the equipment).

As for the December 12th opening, I smell meat ...er, meet!

But as for those screen caps ... well, one of the things I always judge a Sleeping Beauty restoration on is that shot with King Hubert sitting forlornly on the castle steps after Prince Phillip has told him he won't be marrying Princess Aurora. In many versions, the steps are gloriously multicolor ... and indeed this very new restoration many of us saw at the El Cap a few weeks ago had the steps in muted, but acceptably multi-color hues. Yet in the screen cap of the supposedly same restoration, the steps are all in similar hues of red. I call shenanigans!!!! What's up with that???
