Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2023 Edition

I loved Frozen 2. Especially the songs; Show Yourself is one of my favorite Disney songs. I did think the story was pretty complete, though. So I wonder where they'll take it.

I actually like Frozen 2 better than the first movie. Not a huge Frozen fan overall, but I thought the second movie was better.

I do, too, but only as of this year and understanding what it was about lol

My first watch of Frozen 2 I was bewildered as it just made me feel... kinda melancholy. I know everything resolves satisfactorily but it was a harsh dose of reality which I wasn't expecting.

One of my coworkers asked for connections at Disney to fulfill a friend's daughter's dying wish of seeing this movie - someone was able to hook them up and she watched it in her hospital bed as she did not make it to the premiere date. 'Some Things Never Change' hit me hard after that. Then Anna's 'The Next Right Thing'? "But you've gone to a place I cannot find..." Oof.

I also like Frozen 2 better than Frozen, but I agree the documentary helped me get there. I don't remember how I ranked them before seeing the documentary, but they were closer either way.

Saw Wish today, and I loved it! I loved looking for all the Easter eggs, and actually can’t wait to watch it again as I know I missed some!

I’m with you on this. Show Yourself is full of real, deep emotional intensity, not just a superficial belting it out type of song. When she sings a duet with her mom, it gets to me every time! I love that it incorporates the lullaby. Just perfect.
(this was supposed to be for duckbug ducktales. Obviously, HokieRaven prefers Into the Unknown!)

Disney World Prepares to Open World Celebration at EPCOT Without Completing Construction on CommuniCore Hall



Thanks to updated aerial photos from friend of the site bioreconstruct, we have a closer look at a nearly completed World Celebration gardens in the center of EPCOT. In the aerial photo below, we can see that the central gardens of World Celebration are nearly ready to be unveiled to guests. The central EPCOT logo, while appearing off-center from the skies above EPCOT, will be the central focal point of the area, lighting up when the sun goes down and programed to interact with the Points of Light on Spaceship Earth.

Do you think this is in response to all the complaints about the chokepoint with the construction walls? It's nice to have that aerial view here
