The Star Wars Launch Bay at Disneyland's
Season of the Force. |
After an unexpected week away from the show, Anthony and I are back with our take on
Season of the Force at Disneyland. Is the
Star Wars overlay of Tomorrowland worth your attention? Spoiler Alert:
Hyperspace Mountain is about as good as you could hope for. And because we're easily distracted, we also talk about Adele,
Pirates of the Caribbean overlays,
Strange Magic,
Mouse Castle charities and
Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. We're pretty much all over the place. Again.
We do manage to stay on topic, sort of, for this stuff:
- J.J. Abrams made it official: Star Wars: The Force Awakens is done. Completed. Finito. No more tinkering. Nada. Can we see it now?
- The Force Awakens has blown past $50 million in advance ticket sales before its December 18 release. This begs the question, will we ever again be as excited about a new Star Wars movie as we are right now?
- One person who doesn't seem to be as thrilled about Episode VII as the rest of us is...surprise!...George Lucas. He's made some curious comments recently about the latest installment of the film franchise he started. Butt-hurt, table for one.
- Want to go to the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in L.A. or London? It could happen. Just pry open your wallet and be generous about it. www.omaze.com/experiences/starwarspremiere

| Gravity Falls. |
- We are sad to learn that Alex Hirsch, creator of Gravity Falls, is pulling the plug on the animated series when its second season comes to a close. We are seriously going to miss Dipper, Mabel, Grunkle Stan and all the other denizens of the Mystery Shack.
- To make up for the loss of revenue from the Fantasmic! dining packages at Disneyland when the show goes on hiatus in January, the park will begin offering dining packages for the Paint the Night parade. More details coming soon.

| Rivers of Light at Disney's Animal Kingdom. |
- In an effort to make Disney's Animal Kingdom more than a half-day park, a new Rivers of Light nighttime show will debut at the park next spring. It will incorporate many of the lighting, water and projection effects we've come to know and (mostly) love in Fantasmic! and World of Color to create a distinctly mystical, nature-themed show.
- Captain EO will end its run at Epcot on December 6. And while no official announcement has been made at Disneyland, we think it's unlikely to return there as well.
Enjoy!
