Coolest video ever! Maurice's Cottage!!!

[Buttercup]

So I found this on another website -- it's from the Disney Blog. It's a sneak peek inside Maurice's Cottage in the new Fantasyland.
This is supposed to essentially just be a meet & greet but something pretty awesome in this video makes me think it's no ordinary photo opportunity.
Pay close attention to the magic mirror that you step through at the end of the video -- a portal into the Beast's castle! AWESOME! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Now that is WDI at its best... That mirror/doorway technology is amazing... Let's get that into rides now... :)

Ok, I'm not easily impressed but if that effect is half as cool as it looks on video, WOW.

Notice they said that the first "person" you will meet is the Wardrobe from Beauty and the Beast? Methinks there are gonna be some pretty cool animatronics on the other side of that mirror! :mickey:

Can't wait to see it all!

None of this will be open when we go in early November.....but I sure am glad we'll be going back in April!

[Quadstriker]

That is one sweet looking portal :number1:

[Butters]

This is really neat! Not that we need a reason to go back, but I can't wait to see the new stuff.

[CuteAsMinnie]

Got rave reviews from the ICot-15 attendees who got to see it!

[PirateLover]

Yup quite a few of us ICOT15 attendees, including John, were even chosen to participate in the show. The whole thing is really well done. The portal is quite impressive.

As one of those who had the chance to see it during Icot-15, I have to agree that the mirror/portal effect is stunning. Even when logic tells you it can't be real, your senses all say otherwise.

And while the portal is arguably the coolest thing in the New Fantasyland, there are other effects as well that are pretty incredible.

The whole place is visually beautiful and obviously crafted with great love and care.

I was with a group of ICot15 that got to experience the magic of that portal..

As mentioned, John and a few other Icotees were chosen to be in the show. I can't wait to see the video! Our very own Superstars!

As another ICOTee that got to see this first hand, the effect is quite magical indeed! It is so wonderfully done! I still can't figure out "How'd they do that!?!" :notworth: The whole area is so awesome! And I was one of the lucky ones who got chosen to participate in Belle's Enchanted Tales and it was quite fun! I'll be glad to belt out an opera tune if you want sometime! Needless to say, I don't have to explain what part I got to play! :blush: But it was truly a magical experience! Oh and don't forget to try Lefou's Brew at Gaston's Tavern! Very tasty! :mickey:

I took video of this group with my camera. I've never uploaded/downloaded video to FB but I'm gonna give it a try soon! :fingers:
