I expected a decent show and was suprised at how wonderful it really was! the technology and water effects are truly amazing! oh and for some parts bring some tissues! this show will make you laugh and cry so much! i really can't say enough good things about this show. I have also found alot of the F! is saying its just ok. This show is nothing like F! but does give F! a run for its money!

Kinda childish.. just a growing jealousy that "their" nighttime show isn't in the spotlight now that World of Color is the newest/coolest show in the resort.

Thats pretty sad if others were jealous of a new show. Wouldnt everyone want more attractions and shows? I hope that F is not as popular. Makes it easier for me to see

There has been tons of posts that would disagree with that with plenty of video to back it up.

I could understand a dividing line several years ago between those who were doing work for, as one example, DisneySea and those who were responsible for DCA. But with creative incompetents like Barry Braverman and Michael Eisner out of the picture, I'd thought the office politics would have changed---and for the better.

This WoC show knocks the socks off Fantasmic!...in my opinion. Would I fly all the way out to California to see it? No. But when they get the rest of the improvemtents done that might be enough for me to bit the bullet.

By contrast, even the word "happy" would have been a better choice.> The original meaning of "gay" was simply happy or joyful - it really had no negative or even ambiguous connotations. That YOU assign it such connotations and "frivolous" or "batty" is a consequence of YOU associating it with the more modern definition of homosexual. You obviously equate such things with being gay, so that's how the word sounds to you now. It's quite revealing of your own prejudices, and the more you talk about it, the more you reveal yourself and your prejudices - all the while seemingly oblivious to this. It's kind of comical, yet sad at the same time. <To not be anymore off-topic than I have to be, I'll say this example of questionable word choice is merely a variation of people at the DisCo conference in Aspen in the 1990s selecting the second-rate ideas and concepts they did for DCA 2001.> And we're back to the tortured attempts at equating nearly anything - in this case etymology - with your particular views of DCA. This one's a stretch even for you. >> Ridiculous, arrogant... and the word that eluded me before, but that is actually the best one: pretentious. << <If stating something that apparently eluded highly paid executives like Michael Eisner, Barry Braverman and Paul Pressler is a case of being pretentious, than it's a shame they weren't the height of pretentiousness.> That would be reserved for you.
