    -As Ferret said, fully dimensional AA's but the ones in the movie showed limited movement. That's completely fine, though.

    -Ariel seems to be the money AA though. There's some blueprint that suggests a really advanced range of movement.

    -It doesn't look that short as others have suggested, however, the show scenes, aside from the big one in the middle, do look compact.

    Did they mention AA hair?

    Same here, until they refurb it...for real. Also, I would like to have kids, and that ride might prevent that.

    You were oh so close that time. You have to plan ahead, and put yourself into position to get a Dalmatians post. You have to be ever careful of Happy Haunt though. She lurks around waiting to snipe any Dalmatian that lingers.

    Short, quality, D-Ticket.

    Better than anything in Fantasyland FLA today (some might say Small World, seriously, is better).

    But absolutely overrated and praised as way more than it is.

    I think many of those 'AAs' will be very limited movement types.

    And I guarantee you that (unlike say Potter's Forbidden Journey) you'll be able to see black ceilings and infrastructure such as piping and theatrical lighting.

    The immersion will not be complete unless 'being in a Disney theme park and riding a ride' counts now as immersion.

    Is TTA someone who didn't like me on MAGIC? I don't think so, but I am so hoping one of those pixie dusted losers comes over here, so I can take some Disney MAGIC AND SHOV... oops, sorry, just in the midst of a Spirited Breakdown!
