Originally Posted By LuLu Is Glow Fest fun if you don't drink or dance? Sure! It's just a fun environment, I don't see how you could NOT have fun. And I don't know what age your kids are CC, but ALL kids love music, bright colors and dancing. It's a blast! Of course, my daughter and I are probably the only people who like the looks of HPB during the day! LOVE the bright colors!!!!

Disney parks should never be viewed as stale. And I am not talking crazy fans like (some of) us, or just regulars ... if you go to WDW and the same parades and shows you saw in 1975 or 1991 or 1998 or 2003 are still showing in 2010 that is just pathetic show. <<SW at DL was a disaster.>> <<Oh boy was it - but that venue is a creative director's worst nightmare.

Is there an actual show coming? <<I haven't seen TS: The Musical, but everyone I know who has says it is very poor compared with others.

One wonders why it has been axed for DCA if it truly was Aladdin quality. <<Villains Tonight I don't understand at all - doesn't do anything for me at all. I did like The Golden Mickeys a lot - and it isn't often I've seen a revue-style show that I like.>> Golden Mickeys was great on the Magic and was great at HKDL. Villians Tonight wasn't unwatchable, but it certainly was pretty lousy and seemed to aim more at young childern (why should this surprise me?) <<---- shudders to recall every version of Steps In Time.>> HAHAHA ... those were the good, old days at DCA!

Entertainment was one area (merchandise was another) that DCA 1.0 got very right from the start ... so they ruined it, naturally!

Originally Posted By poohbear14 I took another look at Glow Fest last night and I found it was more enjoyable being towards the Hyperion theater end of the street.

One of the glow cart cms was really getting into the spirit and leading a congo line around the streets. Other cms were waving the glow sticks with the music. Kept me entertained for more than an hour watching everyone. There's a Greek food truck near the Greetings candy shop open for business now.
