Captain EO returns
Captain Eo returns for a limited engagement to Disneyland, this Tuesday, February 23rd. It's exciting news to have this attraction back. I can't wait to watch this again! However, Captain EO is not recommended for the little ones. It's loud and there are some scary images. This attraction is definitely recommended for older children and adults.
From the official Disney Parks Blog: "While it’s not possible to replicate some special effects elements from the original presentation, it will boast a new 70mm print of the film, and it will sound better than ever thanks to acoustic enhancements made to the theater since the film last played there in 1997." There are no plans for it to return to any other Disney park, at this point.
Rumor has it that the moving floor system from HISTA will be implemented. No word on whether the lasers, fog or pinwheel will be back too. For now, the run is open-ended with no set ending date set for the movie.
Here is the original commercial from 1986 to enjoy:

Disneyland update
Captain Eo is in cast member previews today! Quite exciting. This mean a strong likelyhood for it opening in the coming week. I am curious to see if they hold out just a little longer so that some kind of wide promotion can be made of it.
Also, expect a busy holiday weekend at the park with extended hours to accommodate the crowds.

President's Holiday Weekends
Disneyland's hours for Monday Feb 8th is from 9 AM to 11 PM, instead of the normal 10 AM to 8 PM, and the park closes an hour later than normal on Sunday Feb 7th, as it is a three day weekend. Crowds will be a bit heavier than expected however, with the rain, it is likely to get a weekend free of lines.

Where did Tiana go?
In case you were wondering, Princess Tiana will be seen over at the Princess Fantasy Faire in Fantasyland for the coming months. Once the Rivers of America refills, Tiana's Riverboat Jubilee will return to the Mark Twain in May. This will also coincide with the DVD release.
