I don't know how they would do that with back to back shows and keeping all the NOS rides open.

Except that yamabuki - above - concurs with me about the 'device' on the show deck being Chernabog. Are you disputing this?


>> Alice in Wonderland has MORE SONGS than any other Disney animated feature. <<

I guess the key word there was "memorable" songs. I vaguely recall 'Golden Afternoon', whereas 'I'm Late' isn't much of a song at all, more like a cartoon rap. The only reason I know the 'Alice in Wonderland' song at all is because of the attraction.

So DLR can drop a show, do 1 fireworks, 1 fantasmic, 1 fountain spectacular. Heck, don't they plan on doing 3?

How many people do they expect to have each night? Isn't 3 shows of WoC twice as many people as can see Fantasmic? Do they actually expect this show to bring in that many more people..? Or do they really expect people to hop from one show to the next..?

Oo.. if i was in charge i'd schedule all the shows to overlap so there's no way you could hop from one to the next.

When it previously rolled in the conventional direction, guests would make a mad dash from DCA over to DL for the fireworks and F! as soon as the parade had passed by. By turning it around and ending the parade in the sun plaza, it corked up the entrance and made it more difficult to exit.

My guess is as good as any at this point. I am just not willing to accept anything at face value.

With WoC, there's going to be much more park hopping at night. The crowd nightmare will be a mess. First you have tons of people leaving the parks after the show, then you potentially have tons of people park hopping after the shows. Talk about nightmare F!

Yeah. You know, just like they do at the Bellagio, and have been doing at rinky-dink "fountain shows" for decades now. Not impressed.


(Too soon?)

It appears that Mickey's Fun Wheel will be playing a role in WoC. It also seems pretty clear that there will not be sneak previews for the public. If they are still programming major elements (ie: the Fun Wheel), this is understandable.
