But at the same time it's Frozen and I have to praise Disney in providing more experiences with these popular characters. Adding regular fireworks back to the Studios is a brilliant idea.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Everything seems to indicate that this is being done on the most ridiculously rushed schedule ever, so it will be interesting to see how it turns out. From what I've read, someone very high up the ladder said to get it done about a week ago, and it's opening in another week. Auditions for Anna and Elsa for the sing-along are on Monday, and the show opens Saturday. At the very least, I can't wait to see what they're actually able to do in that amount of time when cost isn't really an issue I think this is being done in reaction to a lot of things. Obviously Frozen is very popular (though it finally seems to be waning) and there's very little in WDW for it. It also helps pull in guests to the ever-lackluster Studios, and is scheduled well to attempt to keep them there all day. And of course, the announcement and kickoff coincided nicely with Diagon Alley, but I really wouldn't read too much into that I can't wait to see what they come up with for fireworks. Due to the last-minute nature of all this, they're scrambling to find enough pyro for a decent show, and apparently are taking stuff from DLR. And having the rest of the country stock up on fireworks for the 4th of July certainly isn't helping them out any! Even if this whole thing turns out to be a disaster (which it won't, because people are obsessed with Frozen) I'm excited to see what they can pump out on such short notice!

But when we asked to take his picture he and the girl who was with him--as Anna--politely informed us that they had already been talked to by security with the threat of being kicked out of the park if they posed for pictures. We had reported about this on another thread. Very sad that Disney won't allow guests to take pictures of other guests--although it still happens if you can avoid getting caught.
