I am not sure whether to post this here (I was tempted to start another thread as I know many are skipping this one now, but I was frightened of being told off by the mods). DLP will be broadcasting the opening ceremony on Facebook at 12:30 CET:

Thanks DWB! Am watching now... I didnt realise how tall that bamboo is! From certain angles it blocks the ToT!

They filmed some scenes when I was there! Cool!

Today is going to be a real test on how the rides can cope under large crowds. Will be curious to see what the wait times were like considering the land is crawling with guests.

The smiles on those kids faces are just so precious!

LIVE wait times at the first hour of opening:

Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop: 90 minutes
Slinky Dog ZigZag Spin: 40 minutes
RC Racer: 80 minutes

And rising... Crush had 70 minutes wait during this first hour. Source: DCP.

Darn it, I posted it up but a work call meant I missed it and there is nothing there now. Did I miss anything of interest?

If you mean the live coverage of the opening? It just ended. Nothing too special, just some cool onride video's and the usual opening ceremony with Mickey, interviews with the Imagineers and visitors. It's very crowded though.

Just watched the Live broadcast from TSPL and it was great! Really interesting to watch. It's a shame everything was in French (as always... :roll:), but the videos were very nice!!

Were there any celebs there, or significant imagineers, or John Lasseter?

[PetiteSirene]

I understood some of the french but judging from the looks on peoples faces the land ticked a lot of boxes for people (Did you see the kids on Slinky? That almost made me cry! So adorable!) The on ride videos were great, gave me a better feel of the ride themselves rather than just how they look.

hey there,looking at all the pictures and all the videos i will have to say that this does look better than i expected, but having been to california and walked through "a bugs land" this looks slightly better but still not up to the disney standards that we as fans have come to expect, however i am going in 4 weeks and will judge in person when i am there, i just thought i would add my 2 cents into the mix, hope no one minds.

And it finally opened up !

As far as I could tell there were only local Imagineers who worked on the project (from DLP-Imagineering), no American guests. I have no idea if there were French celebs, as I can't recognise them. John was missing to. Maybe he got sick in Slinky Dog...  

I think there will be more significant guest during the Shareholders Special Event in september?

Looks like FilipV had posted the online videostream onto YouTube:

Such a shame they saved all their dramatics for the festival micro entertainment enhancements and not the multi million Euro new land. Ah well. Hope potential guests actually get to know the land has arrived...

The land has had a brief write up on the Disney Park blog...
