Yeah, the Jafar snake thing is another one of my gripes. It's a neat idea, but horribly executed - and WAY too long. There's too much time just watching the snake walk back and forth with no real action. And you hit the nail exactly on the head on the dragon scene. I always thought that in Disneyland's version, the climactic battle didn't have enough conflict (Mickey just kinda walks up and *bang*, Maleficent is dead)... but I think WDW went too far the other way - they spend
too much time with Mickey just walking around and the dragon just sitting there. It'd be really nice to see a bit more action/interaction between the two of them, although I understand that that could make it considerably more technically complex.

The quality of seeing it in person was certainly better than I'd been able to see on some low quality video I'd seen.
my friend i was with was honestly impressed at how much i enjoyed stuff he figured i'd shrug off and scoff at like most dlanders do heh =D

Oh, I still think it's fun to watch, and Sorcerer Mickey still gives me goosebumps. But when I think of what it
could have been, that's when I become disappointed.
