Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt Yeah... Come to think about it I think I read somewhere that it's Friday. To be honest, with all the pictures and video online, I thought it was open already. lol.

Originally Posted By DlandDug Hi there! The "Grand Opening" on Wednesday night is for Cars Land. On Friday, June 15 is the "Grand Re-opening" of Disney California Adventure. Wednesday night there will be a gala "red carpet premiere" at 6pm, stretching from Carthay Circle to the entrance of Cars Land. Because the park itself is open until 8pm, it is possible that the public will be able to see part of this. Or, this area may be closed to the public. We don't know yet. At 8:20 there will be an official ceremony at the entrance to Cars Land, followed by a big party inside. This will definitely be for invited guests only. Friday morning DCA opens to the public at 10am. There will be a ceremony at 8am at Carthay Circle, where they will most likely officially unveil the new Storytellers statue. Whether the public will be allowed in to see this is unknown at this time. Hope this helps!

Originally Posted By SuperDry Yes, I watched. It started about 20 minutes late, but the live feed said as much before the original starting time. Aside from the late start, both the show and the live webcast appeared to come off more or less flawlessly.

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I watched some of it. Those things are always hard to sit through though. So many awkward little moments and missed cues and everyone always seems so scripted. Should we hug or shake hands or pat each other on the back? Especially Tom Staggs. It feels like you have to pull things out of him. And when he tries to be funny it's just not. I don't know. Not a big deal, just not a fantastic show to watch.
