Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club
3/19/07
As of 3/17/07, the Laugh Floor appears to have started an indefinite period of regular public previews. A clapper board outside the attraction has listed the attraction as "now open" while conducting previews of the attraction (set to officially open April 2, 2007) continuously. It is currently unknown how long this type of preview will last, although it seems likely they will be conducted until the exclusive previews start circa March 28, 2007.
3/7/07
New Passholder Preview Dates Announced
3/2/07
Disney has announced that the new Grand Opening date for the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club is April 2, 2007. At this time new AP / DVC Preview dates have yet to been released.
1/2/07
DVC Previews are confirmed to be delayed.
This means both Passholder and Disney Vacation Club previews will happen near the attraction Grand Opening in "Spring 2007".
Formal Announcement Delaying DVC Previews
12/28/06
The Orlando Sentinel has reported (via a Walt Disney World Resort Spokesman) that Passholder previews have been delayed along with the Grand Opening.
No confirmation yet it the announced Disney Vacation Club member previews have been delayed as well. Passholder and Vacation Club Member previews typically happen together.
12/20/06
The Grand Opening of the attraction has been reportedly delayed. Despite official promotional material listing a January 24th opening as recent as last week, this is only now expected to be another preview near this date.
The attraction has now been internally reported to have a Spring 2007 Grand Opening.
This extension of the preview period is not expected to effect the Disney Vacation Club or Passholder preview dates. This may mean that the attraction sees a 60+ day period of General Public Previews (aka Soft Openings)--or it may mean more of these "early rehearsal" type previews--or a combination of the two.
12/12/06
"Early rehearsal" type previews now also include the pre-show segment of the attraction.
12/11/06
Some promotional material now lists a Grand Opening date of January 24th, 2006. This falls in line with the preview dates. This would also be during the same time period as the Finding Nemo--The Musical Grand Opening Press Event.
12/8/06
Disney Vacation Club Member previews have been announced as January 19 - 21, 2007. Passholder previews are expected to be held the same weekend.
The official Grand Opening of the attraction is anticipated for the week of the 22nd.
Due to the "early rehearsal" type previews to hone the show's material and presentation, General Public Previews (Soft Openings) may be limited to a few days or may not be conducted.
12/4/06
The Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club Sign has manifested outside the site of the new attraction. The signage is similar in style to the one for Stitch's Great Escape, The sign features a 2-D mike cut-out holding a laugh canister and a microphone standing on top of the sign. Currently the sign has a coming soon banner across most of the sign, such that only "Monsters Inc." and "Comedy Club" is clearly readable.

Orlando Sentinel Article on Previews
11/14/06
Laugh Floor blurb has been added to the Magic Kingdom Monorail Spiel
11/12/06
The Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club held an unexpected preview on 11-11-06.
Following are some notes of interest based off of reports of that preview:- The new seating added to the theater is in the form of benches.
- A slight slope has been added to the theater for improved visibility, but it is not to the degree of a "typical" theater.
- The front of the theater is comprised of three screens, big screen in the center and two smaller screens on the side. One of the smaller screens is a "closet door".
- There is planned to be a pre-show, however it was not previewed.
- It has been confirmed that guests can text message jokes via cell phones and PDA's .
- The show is split into three segments
- 1) Various audience members are shown on the big screen and are either given a humorous caption and/or are shown with a Monster (no true interaction here though)
- 2)Mike and three other Monster comics perform a stand-up session that fully interacts with the audience. Cast Members give individual guests a microphone to interact while being seated. The interacting guest is shown on the big screen.
- 3)The Monster Comics each share one or two jokes submitted by the audience along with the name and hometown of the sendee.
- As expected, all of the Monsters are animated on the screens in the same style as Turtle Talk, there are no audio-animatronics used in the show.
Full previews are still expected to be at least 30 days off; however, there more early previews like this are planned to be held in the coming weeks in order to hone the show.

I don't know
To me it still sounds incredibly cheesy. I have a hard time sitting on benches so I guess I will be "sitting" this one out. I do wonder how long each show will be though. Just from reading about it though I don't feel the Disney magic. I could be wrong. I will try to keep an open mind.

It's a new Tommorowland attraction at the Magic Kingdom--the replacement for the Timekeeper.

Do they really expect us to pay to send a text message to participate in the show. I know it is only 20 cents a message but wow. Hope it is something they are handing out. I won't be one sending a text message.

I just thought of something, if the jokes come from the audience, what happens if no one can think of any?

Not all the jokes come from the audience. I think Jason said 1 or 2 per comic, which turns out to not be many if you think about it. I think I like the sound of this. However, I say it is only a matter of time before someone sues Disney over showing them on the screen with a funny caption. Sooner or later, someone will take offense since everything now-a-days offends people.

The audience jokes are only used for the third segement of the show, which appears to typically contain 4-8 jokes. Further, it is only stated that submited jokes might be used, so there are likley some "default" jokes as well.

Late January 2007.

The early preview did not include the pre-show and the show was not in "final" form, so it is not concretely known.
Extrapolating from the single preview so far, the attraction length is estimated to be 20-25 minutes plus pre-show.

The jokes were reportedly all "family friendly".

oh great, my little sister will go nuts. When the movie came out it was her all time favorite, and now that she is 7 she still adores the movie. Seeing it on the big screen[ and of course the two smaller ones ], will make her not want to come home even more!
The King and his men stole the Queen from her bed
And bound her in her bones.
The seas be ours and by the powers
Where we will, we'll roam.
Yo ho, haul together, hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die!

I hope they have som early shows when i am there!
