I know that Wishes is incredibly popular (which I just don't understand) and people want to see a show, but perhaps they should create a B-mode show that can be used on especially windy nights. After Remember got cancelled many nights of the 50th, DL created other shows that were less fragile and modified Remember so it could be performed more easily; maybe it's time that WDW did the same

We noticed that several others were also being 'rained' upon, too.
