Erik Johnson Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Instead of the usual Photo TR's that I do for whenever I do a park update, I decided to do it as a series of videos. The first one focuses on the Holiday theming of Animal Kingdom among a few other surprises. I hope that you enjoy it.

coastercrazed49 Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Great Video Erik! I really liked the POV of EE to, one of the better ones I have seen. Disney useally does a great job of decorating for the holidays, but Animal Kingdom was kind of lacking. Can't wait to see the next update!
WillMontu Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 You did a nice job with the editing, and it made me crack up a few times, even though I was with you! (For those of you who want pictures, I have posted a few here)
cfc Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 I'm not surprised that Animal Kingdom isn't exactly dolled up for Christmas--wouldn't really go with the African and Indian themes. But I think Chester and Hester should've gone a bit more over the top.
alpengeist04 Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Great job with the video, Erik. ...and a D- about sums it up for the decorations.
mcjaco Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 I hope my Christmas present is some shots of Spaceship Earth......
TheRapidsNerd Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Enjoyed the first video in the series. Now I don't have to go to DAK. You just saved me a bunch of cash and a trip on a ho-hum rapids ride. Can't wait to play Dinosaur at home. Got a good laugh outta that one.
Meteornotes Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Who wouldn't want to play Dinosaur at home?!? dt
nay Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Great video! Animal Kingdom definitely did seem to have the least amount of holiday decorations. Loved the talking Yeti, though. Can't wait to see the rest of your videos!
Erik Johnson Posted December 19, 2007 Author Posted December 19, 2007 I just pulled and reposted Part 2 on the 2nd page. It looks like that fixed the problem.
Erik Johnson Posted December 19, 2007 Author Posted December 19, 2007 Ok, here is Part 2. This one features Holiday theming from the Grand Floridian Hotel as well as some of the Magic Kingdom. Enjoy! WDWHolidayPart2.wmv WDW Holiday Page 2 WDWHolidayPart2.zip WDW Holiday Part 2 for download.
Chrissie Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Awesome Videos Erik! Looking forward to part 3!
BeemerBoy Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Awww shucks. Thanks Erik. Nice work as always! Christmas at WDW will always be my favorite. Merry Christmas to you guys.

WillMontu Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Great job with the editing there. I now have proof of my backwards-Peoplemover credit!
J man Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 So the zip-up hoodies do have magical powers! That's amazing. It also appears that the zip ups take you to good theme parks, and not Castles n Coasters. Cool videos Erik!
doublex98 Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I watched all 3 of the videos. They were really great, nice job!
cfc Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 It's too bad that they didn't put a Christmas tree in the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse. There was a Christmas scene in that flick.
mcjaco Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 ^ That's still one on my favorite childhood movies. I really need to find it on DVD. Can't wait for more updates Erik. Especially one in particular....ahem.....SSE.....ahem.
WillMontu Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I wouldn't count on it. His camera battery was running very low and had to use his still camera to shoot some footage (some of the castle lighting scene was shot using my still camera.) Of course if Erik does have enough footage to assemble something, there wouldn't be any problem with that, especially that particular SSE scene!
mcjaco Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 ^ Well, that's just not nice. You guys can't call me from SSE and then not have video footage. You're both meanies.
moinab Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Mmmmm. Egg nog. I guess I'm one of the few people who actually like Animal Kingdom. I do agree that the holiday decor was sparse, although the big tree out front is my favorite, out of all of the park big trees. (I hate the one at Magic Kingdom!)
WillMontu Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 I never shot any video footage from SSE myself, as I was shooting the pictures instead. I think Erik did shoot a little bit of footage though.
Erik Johnson Posted January 4, 2008 Author Posted January 4, 2008 ^ That's still one on my favorite childhood movies. I really need to find it on DVD. Can't wait for more updates Erik. Especially one in particular....ahem.....SSE.....ahem. Sorry about that. Yeah the footage came out way too dark. But I will make it up to you sometime soon.
