Originally Posted By DlandDug The Magic, the Memories, and You! was not a promotion, it was an outdoor show enhancement at it's a small world. (The show was first presented at the Magic Kingdom, on the castle.) The DIsneyland edition ran for two summers. It was a small scale, charming presentation with music and projections. The "gimmick" was that it included photos of guests taken that day at DIsneyland. Guests could submit them, or they were supplied via PhotoPass. The show wasn't really intended to be a big event-- more of a nice little discovery. The biggest issue with it was that there wasn't really a lot of promotion-- there didn't seem to be a lot of guest photos being sent in. Here is the LP coverage from the launch in February of 2011: <a href="http://www.laughingplace.com/Lotion-View-1160.asp" target="_blank">http://www.laughingplace.com/L...1160.asp</a>
Originally Posted By oc_dean OH ... that. Thank you DL&Dug. As for it being intended to be something looked on .. as one of those "little discoveries" ... I do recall, when we first got word of this, I did get a feeling of it being propted up to the latest and greatest campaigns out Corporate Disney. Since it was intended for both parks .. I got a distinct feeling of it being one of those "One Disney Park" initiatives. Which I'm finding these days to be a bit too trite. Pardon my Moon Zappa moment - Gag! I do like the Christmas projection against Small World's facade ... but this one .... I found the execution a bit too 'corporatry' ... So, off to yesterland it goes! buh-bye

A little slow in spots, but some other spots made me smile or go "oooh, cool!" What they can do with mapped projections these days is pretty amazing. And the iasw facade with all those simple geometric shapes, is just perfect for it.
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt I made a point to see it on my last trip (I'd never seen it before) and thought it was entertaining. The mapping technology used is getting a little tired and overused now, but the overall presentation was charming and the crowd around us seemed to enjoy it. I can imagine how spectacular it must look on Cinderella Castle at WDW.

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I never knew it was even possible to submit your own photos. It wasn't made very widely known, or else I didn't care too much too investigate further.
Originally Posted By dresswhites it certainly wasn't a great show, but i am surprised they dumped it..

Originally Posted By DBitz2 The show needed to be about half the length and performed more often each evening like they do the Christmas projection show. Each time that I watched it, I saw people get bored part way through and leave. They also could have dropped the guest photos from it, as most of the photos were so small that you wouldn't have been able to see yourself if you were in the show. One of the PhotoPass photographers came over to me and started snapping pics of me with one of the Country Bear characters at the Thunder Ranch Jamboree awhile back. I was not in a line for photos, just standing there when the character came up to me. I figured the photographer was probably grabbing some shots for the show.
Originally Posted By Yookeroo "The show needed to be about half the length and performed more often each evening like they do the Christmas projection show." I agree. It was better in theory than in execution.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I agree the pics were too small and too many of them shown at one time to really get a good look at any of them. The time I saw the show, I was scanning for pics of my kids but it was too hard to make any of them out.
