Originally Posted By TP2000 I've been to Glow Fest twice now, and whether you approve of it or not, you can't deny that the place is packed and that people really seem to be enjoying themselves there. I've never seen more smiles and dancing people at a Disney property before, short of Pleasure Island in the 1990's. Compared to the abandoned ghost town that Hollywood Pictures Backlot usually is after sundown, this is a major infusion of life and happy people in this area of DCA. It's a complete 180 from what HPB usually feels like at night, when it is generally empty and unused.

I hope that I didn't embarrass myself on Friday. I was rather tipsy. I was entirely sober on Saturday though which is such a rarity! Glad you enjoyed Glow Fest - I was skeptical when I first heard about it but it seems to be popular. I'll have to catch it some point. My only bugbear is that the infrastructure is so ugly during the day. It is a shame that it couldn't all be wheeled out later in the day in preparation.

If I shut down the Disney Geek part of my brain, I can see how the average person would really like Glow Fest. And if they didn't get a primo spot for World of Color and hadn't been watching this show develop for the last three years, I can understand how Glow Fest could be equal to or slightly more enjoyable than an average view of World of Color. Glow Fest is a lot of fun, you have to admit.

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "Apparently Glow Fest is getting higher ratings than World of Color on those survey things the CM's in the red polo shirts conduct." More ammunition for the argument to support the trend towards interactive shows and attractions. I do wonder though how Glow Fest would score if WOC weren't there. Something tells me that it wouldn't be as big of a hit.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I think another reason that GF is doing well is that nobody expected anything from it. With all the hype around WOC, there's not much that they could have done to excede expectations. We all know how much effort has gone into it, and fully expect it to be completely amazing and outstanding. With GF, nobody expected it to be anything special, and instead it's a really fun party. If there had much hype for it ahead of time, I think it would have been a disappointment, but since it's just so much more than anybody was thinking, it's a smashing success! It's all relative to what people are expecting before they go into it.
Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA THERE IT IS!!!!! You just said it the magic words ferret—“ I think another reason that GF is doing well is that nobody expected anything from it. With all the hype around WOC, there's not much that they could have done to excede expectations.” We could be disappointed by GF cause there was nothing to be disappointed about—no one knew anything about it, it was all about WOC. And HANS I think your wrong, I think that GF would of drawn people on it’s own, why? Well heck would you rather go and dance the night away at GF or the Tomorrowland Dance club if you had the choice? Personally I like GF better, they play way better music.
Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA I also think that maybe from word of mouth, GF was spread and so therefore park guests wanted to check out what GF was all about, and now look it’s taken off like a forest fire!
Originally Posted By FerretAfros "Well heck would you rather go and dance the night away at GF or the Tomorrowland Dance club if you had the choice? Personally I like GF better, they play way better music." GF also has something that TLT just can't compete with: a liquor liscense. No matter what kind of gogo dancers and DJ's they get in Tomorrowland, there just isn't going to be any alcohol. Ever. And it's tough for a lot of people to get that grown-up party atmosphere without at least a drink or two. Combine that with a more thorough setup, larger area, and better features, and it looks like we have a winner!
Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA It has nothing to do with liquor license.. ok well maybe it does it you ask WD.but yes I will agree on the setup gives it a more of a street party type of feel, and larger area –it still accommodates the crowd. But still enough to room to move and shake it! and I know that tomorrow land doesn’t have a liquor license I know it never will.
