Last night I participated in a private party at Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom (yes, they closed the park!) and after the free flowing cocktails and delicious food we were treated to being the first audience of the new projection show called "The Memories, the Magic and You!" This is no ordinary slide show people. This is an astonishing feat of artful technology. And yes, it is coming to Disneyland too. (Jan 27)
Earlier in the evening in the press meeting we were shown this illustration. Those red lines are the locations of the many projections used to create this spectacular show. I went in not excited about this new addition, thinking it was more of a gimmick to help promote the PhotoPass concept (images taken from PhotoPass photographers that day are used in the show). But I left thinking this was something Disney will be doing for many years to come. Artfully created, set to beautiful music this production feels like something Walt would have adored since it relies heavily on skillful animation to help it come to life.
Bravo Disney. You managed to do it again.
