From the Orange County Register - Feb 4, 2014 edition

Crews will be shooting all day today, Feb 4 and all day tomorrow, Feb 5, 2014.

The movie will star George Clooney, who plays an inventor in the science-fiction mystery. But the 52-year old Oscar winner won't be on set, Disneyland officials said.

Oh I see, George isn't there. I'm a slow reader LOL. So I guess it doesn't matter.

In California. They've shut down a Small World and closed the train that goes through it. Apparently, they've also set up large blue screens to block off the view of their filming.

Sevens...whatever you posted is appearing for me as a little box with an X and I can't open or see it. What was it, could you describe it for me? Thanks in advance!

Disney Studios’ Tomorrowland Films At Disneyland
1 of 16

by Doug Marsh
February 6, 2014

Disneyland doubles as the 1964 New York World’s Fair as Brad Bird’s upcoming Disney film “Tomorrowland” films near “it’s a small world” on February 4th. Doug Marsh has a video and pictures from the day.

Disneyland’s iconic it’s a small world attraction became a film set on Tuesday, February 4 for the 2015 Disney Studios release Tomorrowland. Appropriately, the attraction was appearing in a sequence set at the New York World’s Fair of 1964-65. The filmmakers had previously shot footage at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, where another of Disney’s World’s Fair attractions, The Carousel of Progress, is located.

For Tuesday’s exterior shoot, extensive portions of it’s a small world were masked with blue screens, presumably to allow artists and technicians to digitally insert the appropriate façade. The sequences shot all took place in the loading trough on the side furthest from the façade of the attraction. There was limited viewing, but the action for one sequence could be seen during several takes.

As guests (extras in period costume) descended a staircase and boarded the boats, a young boy with a heavy canvas satchel/backpack darted across the line, briefly hopping aboard a boat and disappearing up the ramp on the other side (see video and photos). This was shot from various angles, and included the use of a stunt double for the young boy.

Tomorrowland director Brad Bird was on site. During a break in the action, he briefly met with Disneyland park guests and posed for photos. Actor Hugh Laurie also greeted a few guests late in the day. Although anticipation was high, there was no sign of star George Clooney, although cast members reported that he was in the park that day. Adding some confusion was the presence of actor Gary Sinese in the park, who was participating in the flag retreat ceremony that afternoon with wounded veterans.

Highly visible were the mob of carefully costumed extras. The dress was straight out of the mid-1960s, with accessories to match. World’s Fair souvenirs were visible, along with a few extras wearing a distinctive pin with a T-shaped logo. This pin matched those given to members of the “Society” who followed The Optimist on line, with the exception of a reversed color scheme.

On Wednesday, February 5 further shooting was scheduled for inside the attraction. Tomorrowland is scheduled for release on May 22, 2015.
