D23 Expo - Page 5

Yes, I saw Johnny! We had a live Jack Sparrow! The REAL one! He was awesome - stayed in character the whole time. Also had Tim Burton, Nicholas Cage, Robert Zemekis, John Travolta, Jerry Brockheimer, a surprise performance by Mylie Cyrus, and the Muppets performed onboard a small scale Mark Twain. Disney has also contracted with Guillermo del Toro to create a new soft horror label - Disney's Double Dare You. I have also seen the first 30 minutes of Princess and the Frog. It's SO awesome!

My fave news - the Disney Wonder will be spending summers on Alaska sailings beginning in 2011, with prices starting around just $900! 7-day Mexico cruises will start in the mid $600 range. VERY affordable. She is being permanently moved to Los Angeles in January 2011.

And, the new big rumor is that George Lucas is showing up tomorrow to break the new Star Tours news. I will still be here and try to report in when possible.

At the Disney Rarities panel and viewing now. They're showing rare shorts not seen in over 60 years and some of Walt's first animations.

Oh, my! I keep hearing about all of these great things going on the past two days. I hope they save some of the fun for us poor saps who have to work on the weekdays and can only come out on the weekends!

Apparently, Star Tours II was announced. 3D with a Pod Race section. Opening 2011.
Cool!

The whole thing sounds like a big circle jerk with mouse ears on, to me.

I'd rather go to Disneyland.

Star Tours Simulator + 3D = Extra Barfage.

I absolutely love this video. Mostly for the way the audiences reaction changes so quickly.

Rasulo "We are going to be doubling the size of Fantasyland..."

Audience: "WOOOOOOO" 'applause' 'Cheers'

Rasulo " to include more of your favorite princesses!"

Audience "Awww" "ehhh"

Fantasyland Annoucement

Today was fun, but not as surprising. I attended the Parks and Resorts presentation with Jay Rasulo, and it ended with the very dimensional Star Tours 2 announcement.

And, for a nice token, we each received one of three limited edition and hand numbered Star Tours 2 mini-posters. Each one is limited to just 1,723 copies.

What a weekend! To finish it off, I got to personally meet Pepe the Prawn from the Muppets. There will be photos forthcoming.
