Nah, won't get pulled. If you have permission to be somewhere, you can pretty much video tape/take pictures of whatever. Most they can normally do is kick you out.

Good point...I admit I was being a little hasty when I said that. :cool:

They've had this idea and the patent for 20 years?!

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a "It's a great idea!. . . . Now we just have to wait for technology to catch up to us."

The first "Idea came before the time" that comes to my mind is Fantasia (Not just the movie, but the theater system for it).

This technology has been in place since, what, 2004 when it was used in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Tour? Used in the parks since Dream Along With Mickey debuted, then "advanced" with Timon at Festival of the Lion King.

My guess is that they wanted to get the "Hand System" (for controlling the mouth/eyes) down good before they started introducing what we see in the video.

That's a good point. I guess they would need to advance the technology from what is used in DAwM to what they are using now in DL

As awesome as this new character experience is, we have to remember that this is only a test and it could be a while before this becomes a full time thing.

I gotta say though, I'll bet that Walt would love this!
