It looks like public previews did, in fact, begin today at the Magic Kingdom’s Hall of Presidents. A fairly detailed report has been posted on the WDWMagic boards, and it gives a sense of the show’s flow. It certainly sounds like an improvement, and it’s exciting to see Mr. Lincoln get back to his roots.
What’s really interesting is the report that Bob Iger and Jay Rasulo attended the 5 p.m. show today with Magic Kingdom V.P. Phil Holmes; while it’s impressive that Iger made the trip to Orlando to check out the show, it’s unknown whether setting foot in a theme park caused Rasulo’s face to melt like the climax of Raiders of the Lost Ark or whether any photos were taken to actually confirm the existence of Phil Holmes.
“…it’s unknown whether setting foot in a theme park caused Rasulo’s face to melt like the climax of Raiders of the Lost Ark…”
Bravo, Michael! BRAVO! LOL.
Had a chance to see it on video for the first time the other day. It is an improvement over the godawful desecration that uber-Marxist historian Eric Foner shoved down our throats back in 1993, and it is great to hear Royal Dano’s voice back in the program again, but sadly the focus is still lacking substance wise compared to the majesty of the original 1971-1993 program.
And I hate to disappoint the author of the script, but Theodore Roosevelt *despised* being called “Teddy” and you never called him that, ever. Plus, he was a man who for all his concerns for the “working class” was a rigid believer in noblesse oblige and that only the well-educated elite were capable of leading the nation.
