<\/a>snapshot from “Dog Show” [\u00a9 Disney]<\/p><\/div>Avatar & Avatarland at Animal Kingdom…<\/p>\n
I’m not sure how I feel about this, well, to be more accurate, I have no distinct feelings about this – I hope that it brings an infusion of magic and wonderment to Animal Kingdom and not just more lines and more plush\u2026 That wouldn’t be very Extra WDW Magic :(. I do have really good memories of watching the movie – Asta had suggested that we make the effort to see it in IMAX 3D if at all possible AND Harry and Sally were visiting AND it was the last VERY COLD January in Orlando (2010)\u2026 so the four of us took a cab and headed down (or is that up) to Universal Theaters to watch Avatar in IMAX 3D. It was a great way to enjoy the day inside – score one because it was extremely cold and rainy. It was a great way to enjoy a movie – score two good to enjoy movies with friends. And, we enjoyed the movie way more than we expected – score three.<\/p>\n
Anyway, after all the rumors and press releases, it looks like Avatar-land is going to really happen.<\/p>\n
