Ain't technology wonderful? Eventually, I think all of the characters will talk.

That would be awesome! ; I love technology!

I just read about that in the Orlando Sentinel. Kind of goes along with Disney's plan to include sensors in the parks that are "connected" to guest's bracelets (kind of like EZ-Pass). ;

WHOA awesome! My daughter always wondered why they didn't talk. I never really had a good answer.

They save their voices for when they perform in shows and parades.

When I saw this footage a bit back, I was stunned. It's AMAZING. But I don't forsee it being implimented in the parks for a looooong time. Not only would it be expensive equipment, but all of our furry friends would have to be upgraded, PLUS... all of the fur pals would have to be trained in puppeteering. Aaaaaand I don't think Disney cares to pay for all of that right now. :/

I don't think that it will be too long before it's full time; just that right now Disneyland is getting the TLC....maybe because they're not afraid to spend money? ; I know that Star Tours 2.0 was forced on TDLBV.

But DL's got the Snow White upgrades, the Rivers of America update, probably this....

Can't they just use a voice box type thing?
