↩ replying to Giss NericAccording to her linkedin she has a Masters in engineering from MIT and has worked in imagineering for 4 years. She’s listed in the video as Project Controls which is important but not like CEO.
I’m sure she was chosen for the video on the basis of being good on camera, which is generally important for such. When I’ve made behind the scenes videos in the past that’s what we looked for.

As someone who closely followed construction of the original WDSP version of this (including getting a brief glimpse from the Toy Story parachute drop ride) it so surreal to watch Disney promote the WDW version as this BRAND NEW attraction that's SUPER exciting, despite the French equivalent being 7 years old by the time its Florida cousin is open to the public.
It's like going back in time. Before COVID, before BB8, when Olaf was a non verbal snowman in a teaser trailer. 🤣

The courtyard and facades look like they've come out a lot better than I anticipated -- grander and perhaps even more impressive than the ones at WDSP. Does anyone else have this sense, or am I being too optimistic?
One the other hand, perhaps the flat backdrop will look really unrealistic from the ground, so I guess we should all just reserve our judgment and keep our fingers crossed that it'll work...
(Apropos of nothing, re the "teaser" video: It'll be brand new and exciting to most guests. And it's also nice to see new talent at WDI being featured.)

↩ replying to Animaniac93-98It’s “brand new” to WDW and how many people from the US really know about it? I’d say it’s more likely for international travelers to WDW (assuming they can travel due to COVID) who know more about it than domestic visitors.

↩ replying to Animaniac93-98Eddie praised the documentary on LinkedIn. The technology was actually developed for Aquatopia but Pooh’s Hunny Hunt ended up opening first.

↩ replying to Marc Davis FanI will disagree that the courtyard in Epcot looks grander and more impressive than the one at WDSP, from what I’ve seen of both in person (or at least from pictures and from the Skyliner, in Epcot’s case).

↩ replying to EricsBiscuitIt doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t see it matters unless their voice is muffled (in which case I suspect they’d re-record it).
In years to come people will know exactly when the video was recorded, just like photos taken now.

↩ replying to SoFloMagicYup, they are just doing what's best cause all eyes are on them. They don't want this issue to happen again for sure.
