Turtle Talk

My apologies if this has been discussed here, before. I took a brief look through the posts and didn't see it.

We just returned from a 5 day trip to WDW. On one of our late nights we stopped into Kimonos at the Swan to check out the karaoke for the upcoming meet I was hosting.

There were very few people there that night. One table in the front had two young couples sitting there having a good time. They got up and sang several times, fooling around and being quite funny. They had us laughing out loud.

At the end of the evening when the karaoke was done, they waved us over to their table. Turns out the two guys were Imagineers. They asked me what I would change about Disney, and asked if we'd been on the new Stitch ride and what we thought of it. Without thinking, I blurted out "it $uck$". Then I was horrified thinking one of them may have designed it and quickly apologized.

But they assured me that they already knew all about it and that it was closing down soon to be revamped. Word has it, it will go down in February some time.

Then they asked us if we'd been to see Turtle Talk yet. We had not. They said no one really knows about it yet, but it was very cool and we should be sure to check it out at the Living Seas pavillion.

So we made a point of heading over there to see it. It was not easy to find, we had to ask a few CM's how to get there. We finally found it in the lower level in a theater.

Let me tell you, they were right on! It was very cool indeed! So much so that we spent the next half hour or so discussing how we thought they had achieved the amazing effects!

Be sure to check it out on your next trip!!
