The tent covering was added several years later, and, as far as I remember did not come from an US Festival. The stage was upgraded considerably several years ago and, if I remember correctly, they ditched the US stage at that time, which had never meant to be a permanent fixture, for something more substantial.

It would be nice to see them do something with Rapunzel next.

So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind.

So they are rushing to get some kind of live show in there that becomes a big hit and keeps WDI from touching what they believe is "their" space. Can you say inter-division rift?

Think about how much money the Emporium on Main Street makes in a single night, and suddenly that figure doesn't seem so large. I would guess that the PhotoPass sales from the temporary location would more than cover its construction costs (even if relatively few people purchase the PhotoPass pictures).
Originally Posted By Tikiduck I would love to see the area again, being used for something everyone can enjoy. I recall some of the stage productions from the past that were just wonderful. Pocahontas was a real treat at night, did anyone see it? I hope they bring that type of show back, not some flashy, ultra modern, teen inspired crud.
Originally Posted By Tikiduck Oh, and speaking of Cathy Rigby playing Peter Pan. Tiny Kline was playing Tinkerbell at Disneyland well into her sixties. I figure as long as she feels inspired to continue, more power to her. Like Mary Martin before her, she has become the stage personification of Peter Pan.
