Lewis for ‘Narnia Day.’  Part of their Homeschool Days.

Next week I am speaking at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. I’m singing a couple of songs too, but most of it will be me speaking about C S Lewis. They are holding a “Narnia Day” centered around the Prince Caspian exhibit they have there. Apparently there’s someone dressed up as Caspian, and some scenes from the movie rebuilt that you can walk around. So watch this space for a photo of me and Prince Caspian!

The day is for HomeSchoolers…so it will be fun to tell them about C S Lewis and what a hero he’s been to me. They also want me to tell stories about my time in Oxford and the different ways that C S Lewis ‘met’ me through the places he used to teach, live and hang out. Fun times!

Since Disney has dropped out of the future Narnia projects, I have wondered what they planned on doing with the “Journey into Narnia” attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World.  But it seems they’re going to keep it around, at least through their events that will feature it.

If anyone goes, can you please submit a report about it?

Homeschool Days take place on January 12 and/or 13, 2009.

Thanks to Reggie for the link!

In attendance at the opening were Prince Caspian, who rode in on horseback, Warwick Davis, who plays Nikabrik in the film, and Dave Hoffman, Walt Disney Imagineer and Art Director for Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

After a short introduction, guests find themselves within Aslan’s How, a chamber that plays a prominent role in the film.

The attraction is targeted toward fans of the Narnia series who already know the story of Prince Caspian. A full plot summary is delivered via movie clips, touching on most of the major twists and turns in the film. If you haven’t yet seen the film or read the book, this attraction may spoil it for you (just as many other Disney movie-based attractions could for their respective films).

Walk through the portal and see what rich enchantment the Disney Imagineers have created, working side-by-side with the filmmakers themselves to produce this extraordinary three-dimensional extension of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

You’ll be drawn into the fantasy before you enter the soundstage…

Your journey begins in the queue where you can test your knowledge of the Narnia stories. Next, either head into the soundstage or introduce yourself to Prince Caspian himself! Then experience a unique look at the epic story in Soundstage 4, where you can watch special behind-the-scenes footage featuring the film’s director, Andrew Adamson.

The next step takes you deeper…

Pass through a rockwork archway, and you enter Aslan’s Stone Table Chamber, the underground vault where Aslan sacrificed himself in the first movie. You stand amidst gorgeous stone carvings in one of the most awe-inspiring sets in the series, which is also a pivotal location in the film, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

The adventure will surround you…

Multiple screens, dimensional sound and in-theater effects help you live the story of Narnia firsthand, as you explore this walk-through chamber in depth, guided through the tale of Prince Caspian’s courageous battle against the evil King Miraz to win back his rightful place on the throne.

See how it was conceived…

Finally, conclude the journey with a close up look at the authentic concept art and storyboards that contributed to bringing the motion picture to life, as well as the actual props and costumes used by the film cast.

It’s unforgettable…

Take home with you the living memory of Journey into Narnia: Prince Caspian Attraction now forever etched in your own adventurous mind!
