Hollywood Studios has been showing an "extended sneak peek" for this, and I finally had a chance to head over there and take a look.
In addition to showing the longer theatrical trailer, they showed most of the christening scene, where Maleficent makes her first appearance. It was almost word for word, if not shot for shot, from the original film. One thing I noticed is the fairies (who have been renamed, for some unknown reason) all appear to have abnormally large heads.
The other scene we saw was a CGI fest in the woods. It appeared to be some fight scene, though Philip was never shown.
And yes, Maleficent appears bitters because she somehow lost her wings, and King Stefan is apparently responsible.
There was lots and lots of CGI, and I suspect the film will have about the same reception as Alice in Wonderland. That is, it won't receive very good reviews, but it will make a lot of money.
