You can't tell from what I've posted, but looking at the large version posted at the source, more is an understatement. Basically it demolishes Toontown, has Dumbo moved over to that area and doubled (yes, 2 Dumbos), a whole Beauty & the Beast area including new TS and CS locations, a large outdoor Pixie Hollow complete with playground, and additional princess 'attractions' and meet & greet areas.

I thought about taking pics (well, actually long after I started) but thought it would be a bit too much.

As for the characters, all the ones you mentioned (and then some) were at the Animation Building in DHS. At least on non-F! nights, random characters come out and do sets. Two different sets at 5 and 5:30, then repeat at 6 and 6:30. Not guaranteed though. That night, also saw Chip & Dale, Pinocchio & Gepetto, Minnie and Pluto, Queen of Hearts. Maybe even 1 or 2 more.

this is in San Diego for Comic-Con. According to the signage and other sources, it is a traveling exhibit. I haven't seen a schedule yet though.

Re: Sneak Peek: Artwork of Complete Vinylmation Muppets Series #1

Brad — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:38:50 -0000

That's the thing. there IS a Miss Piggy. If you go to the original link to the party photos, you can see a photo of her. But she's not included in the set above. She could be a chaser afterall or she could just be held off until Series 2. Maybe they didn't want to overload the first series with all the big names. Looking at the characters above, I'm easily reminded of dozens of other Muppets yet to be Vinylmationized.

If you poke around online, there are some dealers that have it listed.
Whether or not it's officially available or not, I do not know.
According to Thomas Kinkade, it will officially debut on ShopNBC on
September 4 at 12 pm ET.

Yes, I'd agree, thanks for the catch. The descriptions actually came from the images themselves. When I first saw it and even now I'm still semi-convinced it's actually Pixar producer Jonas Rivera

Apologies. It does turn out that Zombie Pumpkins is a $2 minimum. I'm not aware of any others listed that charge, but please specifically point them out for me if they do.

Re: UPDATE: Disney’s PhotoPass PhotoCD Pre-Order Offer No Longer Available to Public

Brad — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:16:51 -0000

First, as a 'few' things have changed since this was first posted, I
advise anyone reading this to visit
http://www.stitchkingdom.co... for the full details on
the pre-purchase offer.

Second,all I can do is promise that the offer has not been rescinded. I
can only suggest that you call back and ask again. If you still have
problems, you can use the contact link at the top of this site and I'll
see what I can do to facilitate.

People are definitely upset and with good reason, but it's just an
unfortunate misunderstanding. All we can do is try to spread the word
that the offer is still there for those who are staying on site.

Re: Trailer for Old Dogs (Robin Williams, John Travolta, et al) Released (Video)

Brad — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:09:17 -0000

I will admit I wasn't impressed by the original trailer, but I did see a bit more of the film and I have to say I was pretty amused by what I saw. It definitely has a type of feel to it, but I think it's a love it or hate it sort of thing. It's probably safe to say that if you were a fan of Wild Hogs, this movie will probably work for you as well.

Re: First Look: Inside the New ‘Timeless Beauty’ Exhibit at Epcot’s Japan Pavilion

Brad — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:13:27 -0000

Thank you for your concern about the site being 'unsensitive,' however
I have to believe that trying to make an international incident over it
is a bit of a stretch. No one affiliated with the site took the photos,
no one from the site instructed anyone to take photos, they were simply
submitted to us in an effort to bring about attention to the exhibit.
Certainly if a cease and desist letter from the appropriate channels
were to find their way to us, we would honor the request.

We encourage all guests to follow the rules but I'm afraid we do not
have the obligation to enforce them. If we hadn't posted the few images
portrayed in this article, undoubtedly someone else would have and --
for all we know -- also has.

Re: Disney Registers Domain Names for ‘Keychest’ Service

Brad — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:34:47 -0000

The primary reason why you wouldn't register domain names in advance of announcements is because it's usually not a secretive process (see this post for example) so it's a tip off if the right person sees it.

In this case, it's probably not even likely that Disney would have used Keychest as a name for the service, so registering domains under the Keychest moniker may have been viewed as a waste unless they were trying to market the technology itself.

Bottom line, even if someone tries to squat on a name that Disney feels they have the right to, they have a whole team (league) of lawyers who can get the job done -- and including Disney in the name of your domain isn't likely to help your cause much either.
