An EPCOT Christmas Walkabout

I’m sitting inside Innoventions at EPCOT tonight waiting for some friends to join me for Candlelight Processional and wishing there was a certain innovation called Wifi available to me whilst I wait. Wifi would make uploading the following a lot easier, not to mention faster.

This is my first time seeing the holiday decor during the day. So I took a few pictures to share. I’m going to walk around a bit and then upload some more pictures later.

Those are big ornaments on a big tree.

Joyful it was not as the last show was over at 4:15, too early for us evening guests.

A lovely floral hidden mickey (not really hidden, is it). I wish they’d do more with this view.

Look at those wait times at 4:45pm on a Monday.

UPDATE: more photos below the jump.

The Rocketeer – Blu-ray DVD Review

I am loathe to recommend any home video, dvd, or blu-ray release without at least a few decent special features. The 20th Anniversary Edition of The Rocketeer just barely qualifies as it has only one special feature, a not very good copy of the original… Read More »The Rocketeer – Blu-ray DVD Review

Disney*Pixar one of First Brands to Get Branded Twitter Pages

Twitter rolled out a couple big changes today. A new twitter homepage and app that focuses the experience more on activity was the first to be announced. Then they also dropped a new type of Twitter page designed with brands in mind.

Disney*Pixar was one of the first 21 brands given access to the new pages. As you can see they’re using it to highlight Pixar’s Brave. Not only is there a banner available, but brands can pin a post at the top of their timeline, the Brave trailer was selected here.

I also am very interested in the background for the Disney*Pixar twitter brand page. It looks to be a background from Brave. In CG Animation, this isn’t anything unique, but it’s still fun to explore.

I’ve uploaded a full copy without the twitter windows below the cut for you to explore:

By that time, anyone who wanted to know, already knows that… Read More »DVC Really is Disney World’s Worst Kept Secret, Grand Floridian Now Official
