Steve is working on it, but there are concerns about the fountains as they are very much open to the elements.

I'm so suprised no one else has seen the projections I thought you'd all be talking about it before we got home. They were amazing!! I'm so excited for next year I really hope they don't let everyone down!!

They sound really exciting. I just wish we booked our holiday next summer instead of this one.

I found this two pictures :

Am I mistaken, or are they the wrong way round? Surely the projectors should be pointing towards the castle. That picture looks like it's pointing towards the other side of main street???!!!!!

[GrantR]

The source site is stating these images are from WDW, am I not correct? Either way, the projectors are very similar to those we've seen in DLRP photos. Projection Mapping seems almost certain. With the power of (hopefully) live action and of course all of the supposed water effects, Dreams could quite possibly be what we've all been waiting for Paris to deliver...

Yes, that is the Magic Kingdom, not Disneyland Paris. Our Casey's looks far better.

Wouldn't a fountain show right up by the castle cause problem with its paintwork? If they had really tall fountains shooting up by the castle every night, surely the castle would get soaked!

 ...the castle has just be rebuilt.... ;-) and extra space made available to see the castle from 'castle stage' as well.

Are you suggesting some kind of.............plan!!

[davewasbaloo]

There is a plan, but once again, the tests have drawn concerns of the viability. On a windless evening things will be fine. But how many of those are in DLP. Not many.

I have also been informed, the park is going to be overrun with characters. And they are trying to work the finances for the park to be open late all year, however, this will mean two shift patterns (DL in Calfiornia has 3), which is expensive. So the final decision has not yet been made.

[thebritishfrog]

it's looking (sounding) good so far. Although a lot of the plans for other things have been put on hold for the moment so even the peeps who work on the projects never really know 100%. Hence why fanti was totally off and now back on again for summer next year!

Yeah the late openings are flying around a lot at the moment so it does look good.
(davewasbaloo- i don't know if your in the same position but it's hard not to say more isn't! ;-) )

[davewasbaloo]

Indeed it is, but my sources in Burbank also are very cynical and are sure that everything will be stripped down to bare bones knowing the characters are what sell in DLP :-(

:-) good to know I'm not alone!
Mine are spread across dlp (and tend to be the same! ;-) ), it seems we're very much still in the stage of anything and everything changing all the time. It does sound fixed they won't be any performers in the show however...

[davewasbaloo]

Agreed. Too big a risk with the other technologies involved. And frankly I am glad. A 22 year old in rubber who will offend some nationalities by not speaking their language doesn't make sense to me in DLP. Then again I have always preferred Illuminations or Remember to Fantastmic anyway ;-)
