Great pictures!

It looks amazing! For such short-running shows they've made such a serious effort to make it look good. The sets are very simple but very effective. Top marks from me just from those photos. :D
Hopefully we'll get a video soon... :wink:
And even more photos...

Yes, they look really great!!!! :lol:
Jorien :D
Our pictures will come online very soon!
The location is much better this year. Last year's choice for Frontierland was simply odd.
a lot of more persons found their way to Fantasyland as last year to Frontierland.
the rabbits in Mainstreet are a helping hand 'not to loose your head' to find the right Easter spot.
Here they are: :D

Great pictures!!!!! It looks really nice there with all these decorations and that show look great too!
Jorien :D
Excellent, excellent photos! I know I might always say that, but these really are brilliant - far far better than the official ones from Easter last year! =D>
Something I forgot to ask - is Belle's Christmas Village not being used? I has assumed they'd be using it as the "Easter Village", but since it's not in any photos I suppose I was wrong? :?
Yes yet again Raptor the best photos I have seen so far, I take it you entered the park early since I seem to remember them predicting 60,000 guests last sunday not 0 like it looks like in some of your pics :lol: .
we entered the park at 8 o'clock in the morning ;-)
and belle's Christmas village:
where the musical = where you can see the chocolate Fantasia Mickey, Uncle Scrooge,...
at the other side of the Old mill is the egg painting.
but for the rest of the village, where are all the little shops, there is nothing.
and next to March Hare's there is another place for egg painting.

That's what i thought too, where are all these little 'houses', which are used in the christmas season as belle's village? I can't find them on the pictures....but maybe i'm not searching well enough. :oops:
Jorien :D
Nope, there are no houses ;-)
you have looked well to it! ;)
LOL! :lol:
Pffff, i already began to think i needed glasses. :wink:
I really thought that the houses would be used too though. It's a shame they are not. Well, enough other nice decorations to see i guess! :wink:

Don't worry, they have those "beautiful" plastic tents again this year... :? :roll:

Haha, they aren't the nicest things in the world, but at least they look much better than last year. They actually rival the quality of some of WDW MK's Fantasyland attraction exteriors infact! :twisted:
Since this hasn't been posted here yet, the first video of "Welcome to Wonderland is available over on DLP-Reisgids now:
//http://users.telenet.be/dlp-reisgids/events/2005/pasenstart.htmIt looks really nice to me. As I've said before, for a show running for just 3 weeks the quality is excellent, and the cast seem really good aswell. The only thing I don't like is the fact that they only have that one backdrop and continue to use it for the whole show. The show would have been 500x better if only they'd thought to make a few more 2D backdrops for the various sections. You know - just flat, fabric backgrounds showing perhaps the countryside of the Golden Afternoon or the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. They would have cost very little, and they could have even recycled some of the Kids Carnival banners to make them... :D

That's so true.. :lol: :wink:
