Hopefully it will be perfect when you go next year. As I said it was perfect 1 out of 3 attempts; with no particular desire to return. I prefer F and the Castle fireworks for my nightimes.

Nope i agree, it was a nice show but it doesnt give you the same feeling as F does. I think seeing the show one time was enough for me.
Originally Posted By Christi22222 ^^^^Ditto. And so glad to hear others say it. Nice, but nothing Earth shattering. Which actually is a good thing, because I refuse to spend hours waiting to get a good spot. The show's biggest failing, IMO. For years I've watched the fireworks from whereever I wanted. Might not be perfect, but pretty darned good. Not WOC. Gotta be right there. Sigh.

Originally Posted By lesmisfan if you do the dining package go to ariels its wonderful! haven't heard many good things about the winery. but i say its worth it. i did it with my mom and friends of ours during a busy busy summer and there wasn't many people in our preferred viewing area as compared to the other areas.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance "See, you DO hate me." No, lol. Not at all. I think it goes way back to when I first joined LP. You were pretty much the first and only person to give me any attention for a while. So, you're like my LP comfort food. LOL.

Now it seems to be wall to wall people all the time. No thanks. I'm not going to spend thousands of dollars on a family vacation just to be in a cattle car, elbow to elbow with locals who bought cheapo discounted APs. I'm sure Disney is making money with their new business model and they want me to go to Orlando instead (which is even more expensive since we have to fly there and there is no Harbor Blvd across the street from the Magic Kingdom)

I leave that to those who dont mind the diminished product, mostly due to the ridiculous, and near constant levels of overcrowding. I further refuse to line the pockets of a greedy, out of touch corporation that has replaced the "guest" with the AP!<< Hear, hear!

Originally Posted By tashajilek Manfried the package is worth it if you end up getting a good viewing. The food was good enough but i would have prefered the blue bayou for the same price. If you go make sure you show up before your reservation because they can run behind.
