Disney at Dawn Updated PART 2

1. All the Amanda using the Animal Cams to track the keepers in the part is different.

2. The part on page 208 where Maybeck says a word that "would have one again gotten Finn grounded for a week" "Son of a ___"

has been changed to say "sands of a beach"

3. How Finn and Maybeck find the monkey image from Jess's drawing is changed

4. OH! also when they text instead of the text abbreviations and stuff like "otakers" " u c?" etc is written out with correct spellings and punctuations/capitalization

Which I find lame because they are still in middle school and the text abbreviations still totally would work.

5. The part with Finn and Maybeck running into the Lion King Show Finn is getting info from Amanda on the phone when in the original it seems like she was also running near then because it says "Amanda said into his ear" but I will give this a pass simply because this part always confused me cuz how is she right there to cheer them on etc

6. The interactions Amanda has with the kid who wants to use the camera, and then later when the Kid has the tattoo that points her to go backstage are completely different.

7. THE MAIL BOX

which is how they get the fob is gone. which makes me sad I liked that part where it goes "FEED ME" now Finn and Maybeck go to Pandora and find it in a flower thing. and Maybeck thinks the guy is an OT

8. the ROB CALL

He used to say she plays word games. He now says he would like to take away her pen and paper that she is constantly messing with to create word game letters

9.Finn and Amanda backstage

They yell at each other usually like "Go!' he called out to Amanda" "NO. I am staying" and now the dialogue has them saying things like "Please" and "thank you" while they argue with each other. like what

10. "You can fly?" "I can levitate"

Is gone. why is it and other stuff of Amanda using her power gone.

11. FINN AND JESS

originally it goes "Your long hair. the way you looked at me" "I was under Maleficen'ts spell' she reminded him"

"And I was under yours' he thought. 'The thing is, as it turned out, there was nothing to be afraid of"

NOW he TELLS HER "As it turned out I liked you"

WHAAAAAAT idk what to think . I yelled at the book

12. Escaping from the Tigers

basically pages of that part is just gone. shorter, and not as interesting. some weird dialogue stuff

13. Maybeck and Willa

SOO MUCH is cut out about their mission. and a ton of the action is changed completely. They no longer have the witty back and forth banter. AND THE BIGGEST THING about 4 pages are GONE with them finding a magnet to destroy the system and hearing footsteps and getting out and having their hug moment where Willa then pushes him away and goes "dont disgust me!" and Maybeck goes "I probably checked w philby before doing that. I hope it doesn't mess things up" never happens

Im sorry but.... what.... why.... what in the world

14. Finn being very unfinn

in an added half page of dialogue when Jess tells about Chernabog and her dream of Finn being swung like a baseball bat by a yeti. she doesnt say Chernabog but Finn argues that Yes sounds crazy and it was surely just a dream and goes "so we all know just for the recorded i nvr said it was good idea"

This is the dialogue changes I was most mad at. Finn would never

Alright that's all I got for you. what do you think about these changes?

I tried to keep this post shortish by only writing the changes I felt most passionate about lol

Now... onto Disney in Shadow

KK Disney At Dawn: Updated Version Changes Part 1.

I am going to keep this... as short as I can, and break it up. I read the updated version side by side with the original. I have 122 comments and almost 250 highlights on my kindle now so there is no way I am getting into every individual change so I am going to say some of the biggest changes.

1. the one and only change that I 10000% agree with and was the obvious right choice is the fact that now any Jez/Jezebel ‘s are corrected to Jess and Jessica. This is the right move, no complaints here.

Now we get into some of my complaints and confusions

2. The whole VMK stuff is changed cuz the Keepers never knew about it. so Wayne builds a thing for them to get in to VMK (although Ridley in the 1st book change had Philby build them a room and now they know nothing about it but whatever)

meaning there are whole pages gone because all the dialogue is different and the Keepers have a group chat and stuff since there are cell phones.

Later in the book when Philby is doing VMK w Wayne almost all the dialogue is different. some of Waynes stories of the reasons for VMK and Wayne in the past having to learn to sword fight and stuff is completely gone. also Philby isn’t texting Maybeck information about the finding the server when they go to the Dino ride anymore either during the part when Wayne and P’s VMK avatars fight avatar overtakers

2a. now there is no keeper DS/VMK names (philitup, mybest etc) and I’m sad

3. Since they have phones there is no longer all the DS stuff which Im just nostalgic about and want it

4. The keepers getting into the park via one of Waynes guys is totally different. Chapter 15 and especially 16 is almost all rewritten and everytime this kinda of rewrite happened in the book I felt it just took out a lot of the meat of the book and made it super straight to the point and a bit.. bland?

4a. Some of it like Willa saying where the shed with past cast members costumes is, doesn’t make sense. since it used to the driver telling them this. How would Willa know 

4b. the driver doesn’t say he needs the passes back, and doesn’t take them to the costume unit.  oh and some lines are switched between characters. Finn says “don’t forget small world” when originally its said by Charlene

5. Then changes like Camp Minnie and Mickey is Pandora and stuff since there are differences in the Parks... which I guess I get. 

6. A lot of the texting between the keepers is gone also. maybe to shorten the story... but I liked their interactions through the DS

7. When Willa is going to Ariel’s Grotto, a lot is gone in the dialogue between her Ariel and the handler.

8. Now it isn’t a High School Musical parade show thing... which makes sense since it was out new then and not now... but im still sad about it

9. When Finn is in the theater for the Voyage show and the brooms are also there. now Finn’s dads blackberry doesn’t ring which makes everyone look at him, instead they all just look at him for no reason...

This is all the big changes in the first half of the book. I’m going to break it up and do a part 2.

Thoughts?

KK Disney after Dark -Updated...

yes I did log in to Tumblr for the first time in YEARS to make a rant but it is well warranted I think. 

so not me last year seeing “KK updated books” and assuming it just meant the covers and I went “that's cool, moving on” to today realizing it meant ACTUAL CHANGES TO THESE BOOKS AND SOME STORYLINES 

immediately downloading it to my one kindle, to have my other kindle open with the original and a hardcopy for good measure and am now reading them LINE BY LINE for changes and I AM SCREAMING as I realize something

PAGE 28 Ridley Pearson takes out the line “A poster hung from the ceiling by a string, announcing the Virtual Magic Kingdom.” 

SIR YOU DID NOT 

I could mostly accept the change of “Finn’s dads digital camera” to his phone. but no. This man did NOT just decide to not have the VMK... you mean to say to me that to make it more to this generation we are not going to get the keepers having their characters in the VMK storyline so no philitup and willatree and just hold on a minute....

I am taking this to mean book 2 won’t have them texting over the DS’ and like no Jess’ iPod and probably eventually no Kim Possible phone game stuff. 

are they not going to be so excited to get their own fancy keeper phones now too???????????? what else Ridley what else have you taken from us.

im not okay

did anyone else read these?!?

Is freaking out about something Shakes head Hair gets in mouth hair goes down throat Chokes almost dies Me: BUT THE THING!!!!!!!
