I think alot of people have been waiting for this information. I will not be there until late Jan. '07, but it's still fun to anticipate a new attraction.

For some reason, someone at WDW thinks we APers and DVCers are birds of a feather who crash together. But make no mistakes... I am willing to bet regular park guests will be "swimming" with Nemo during the first week in Oct.

Nothing at all like DL's 35th, huh?

Originally Posted By leemac <<^^I am willing to bet that regular folks will be riding before October 1st.>> Unless something has changed in the last few weeks WDI aren't handing the attraction over until the end of the first week in October. I'd be surprised if it is open that early. Pixar only finished installing the animation recently.
Originally Posted By TDLFAN Pixar is installing the animation? And not Disney's Imagineering? Please tell me we are not getting the same type of AA quality we got in the recent (and disastrous) World Of Disney refurbishings... please???
Originally Posted By CTXRover ^^The characters that appear in the tanks are animated, as in film animation, not audio-animatronics. As leemac stated, the animation was done by Pixar themselves and installed in a method designed by the Imagineers so it appears they are actually swimming along the real fish in the tanks. Whether or not there will be any AA or just film animated characters in the first half of the new ride where there are no tanks is unknown.
Originally Posted By TDLFAN Oh you are talking about the animation projections on the tank's glass windows.. similar to what you see on most shopping mall windows in Japan.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN Well miracles do happen.

That will bew $24.99 plus tax. I also charge $19.99 for tarot card reading and palm pilot readings.
