I know everyone will still have a great time but it's disappointing that those who were looking forward to Fantasmic won't see it. That also means the park will be fuller of people trying to get on attractions instead of watching the show in NOS.

Perhaps the 17th should still be okay, but certainly by the 18th or 19th the construction equipment will move in and the Rivers of America and New Orleans Square will be shut down and cordoned off. Check the LP archives for pics and videos of the last Pirates Premiere at Disneyland to see what damage it did to the west side of the park. Mark Twain, Columbia, Canoes, Tom Sawyer Island will all be closed, and there will be a giant stadium and drive in movie screen built where a highly detailed theme park used to be. It's not pretty.

It just seems like too simple of a solution. (But there might be trouble with the light towers)

I am in Fantasmic and they told us that the show wont be going then and I know I was a little confused at first as to why. Sorry to those of you who will miss it. Hopefully you can see it another time.
