And I'm glad they're debuting a new show. I just hope its more American standards and not the themes from the armed forces that they've done in the past. I just think our country is about a whole lot more than our military (especially when we're involved in a war that never should have happened.) <<In '06, we watched Fantasy in the Sky on July 3 & 4, sitting on the beach at the Poly, that was a super fantastic show.>> You have no idea how close you were to a certain Spirit.
Originally Posted By bobbelee9 ^^^Oh rats!!! It was a really good show wasn't it?! I think if I'd been in the park those nights, I wouldn't have gotten the total effect. Please don't pick on our military, my Navy son was sitting right beside me on that beach.
Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 <<^^^Oh rats!!! It was a really good show wasn't it?! I think if I'd been in the park those nights, I wouldn't have gotten the total effect. >> I enjoyed the show, but I had a couple of mai tais (maybe something else as well) so I was just looking at the 'pretty lights in the sky!' <<Please don't pick on our military, my Navy son was sitting right beside me on that beach.>> Never. Please don't take my feelings for our commander in chief to represent my feelings for the military. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have had Navy relatives as well.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Yep, I am another Navy family guy (I am the only male in my family to have not served - but because of my disabilities, they didn't want me). But yes, there is more to America than the military. Patriotism should be about celebrating all of America.

Seriously, when I was a young Spirit I'd pitch a fit about waiting to watch a parade or fireworks when I could be in line for Mansion or Space Mtn or 20,000 Leagues ... I guess I got old because I'd much rather watch the fireworks, but I think I need to start bringing my own music to the MK to drown out those awful moppets!
Originally Posted By NikkiLOVESMickey I'm getting really tired of people thinking that they can troop up with their children 5 minutes before a show and park their children right in front of me because "they need to see the show" when I've been waiting for an hour. Back in '96 when Hunchback came out it premiered here in New Orleans. I left work early and got down to the French Quarter over an hour early to watch the parade, only to be taken over by kids whose mother showed up halfway through the parade and shoved them in front of me. Also reminds me of when we visited WDW for our first MNSSHP back in '05. My mom and I were seated in the wheelchair area near Liberty Tree to await the parade when, in the middle of the parade, a family without a wheelchair shoved their kids into the front row, with one practically sitting on my mother's lap.
