    Depends on your definition of an AA. The Under The Sea sequence will have similar range of movement to the AAs in Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley To The Rescue!

    We also thought that the ride would be of a decent length.

In Monsters, it's a bit more of an issue, since there are only a couple in each scene.

    Think of Peter Pan AAs for the 21st century. They move, but they aren't very articulate movements.

It looks like there are a lot of figures being used, so it should look very lively.

    As am I. it's something that Mk really, really needs. Not as much as it needs an E-tic, but still.

    BTW,It's been 4 years at this point since an E-ticket has opened at a WDW park. Longest drought in a while, isn't it?

    Agreed. It is a long drought.

    But I am excited for MK and FLE. It will be nice to walk around in something new.

    Might as well. That's the ultimate goal anyway. Didn't the Administration take over the car companys, and banks?
