Live from the Grand Opening of The New Fantasyland

[Britchick]

Watch this space for updates from 8am eastern, 1pm UK time

And there's rain forecast :(

[Tink]

Yeah, huh? The weather couldn't cooperate just ONCE?!

Anyway, will be looking forward to your onsite reporting. I'm off to a seminar today, so I'll be peeking via my phone. :-D

Have a great day in spite of the weather!

[lozzy]

Oh so exciting. 33 mins and counting

[Britchick]

Sorry it's 3pm uk time Lozzy my brain is scrambled. Sat on the pavement to the right of the castle stage. The front is roped off and the crowds are building.

[Britchick]

Crowds are building, some hardened Disney fans here!

[Beccaberry]

Fingers crossed :fingers: the weather holds out....very exciting!

[Britchick]

It's staying dry for now, pavement only slightly damp lol! We're 3 back in the crowd so should get some good Snaps. Caitlin taking some photos on camera. Will post photos when anything interesting happens.

[Beccaberry]

Meh, and I'll be taking photos at a ribbon-cutting for our new preschool - your day sounds FAR more interesting!

[Britchick]

So you get yourself a position in good time and people just can't help themselves, this is not a time to squeeze the rest of your extended family into my space people! Grrr

[Wendy]

I hate it when people do that, they always push little Jimmy forward and then follow him :nono:

Thank you so much for covering this for us :hug2:

[Britchick]

She could have moisturised her legs!

Lots of people walking around tugging and poking things

Wifi is a little dodgy today, whatever happens ill get it uploaded ASAP. Caitlin is going to video the service.

[Britchick]

There is some hysteria in the crowd..not sure what about, Caitlin's hoping for 1D lol

[Britchick]

Jodi Benson sang at the opening of the California little mermaid attraction and she is doing candlelight processional soon
