Only she was so little and so nervous it sounded like presents were the last thing she'd ever want. We use to play that over and over, and then it got deleted on accident :,(
Originally Posted By dresswhites i think the show had some cool moments, but as another poster said, the show was too long for what it was..i mean i think the show was 10 or 12 minutes..that a long time to basically be showing hard to see pictures and nice designs on the wall of small world..The quarterly christmas projections work cause it is basically a 2 or 3 minute show..The projections also work for the fireworks because it part of the overall larger show. also the show was a bit redundant..i mean we already have a show at disneyland that projects things..Fantasmic. and a show at Dca, world of color..
Originally Posted By dresswhites but the reason i surprised they got rid of the show was that they did spend some money on it, i assuming..updating the projectors, adding some new speakers, even adding some scrims to the different gaps of the facade, so that they could have more space to add pictures..the upside is hopefully they can and already have removed the scrims..

It's a nice thought ... that a picture of yourself could end up in a "Disneyland show" of sorts. But try - trying to find your photo, IF it made it in. And even if you do catch it .. in tiny form (mixed in with dozens surrounding it) ... it's gone within a few seconds. Really .. nice idea in concept .. when you think about it. But it reminds me of these picture boxes used in that night time show done in DCA that lasted one summer season. The name of it has escaped me. Too small to recognize as anything important to the show.

It's important to note that a new version of the show will be debuting in a couple of months at WDW's Magic Kingdom. Perhaps the thought was the show works better on the Cinderella Castle, where people are gathered for the fireworks show anyway, than back on the small world mall.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros It seems that the show was always more successful in WDW. I'm sure a large part of that is due to the location, where guests are waiting between MSEP and the fireworks anyway, rather than in a back corner of the park near an area that is largely closed in the evening hours (Princess Fantasy Faire and Toontown are/were closed most night, leaving only iasw and the railroad operating back there). It should be noted that the new show for WDW won't include photos of guests. I suspect that this is because it was never that successful, since they were relatively small and moved quickly, and to make it easier (aka cheaper) to run the show each night without having to sift through all the PhotoPass pictures from that day. With the new show, they can just show up and push the "go" button (that's an oversimplification, but you get the idea)
Originally Posted By danyoung I agree that the photo part wasn't that big a deal. It didn't make any difference to me whether the photos were taken that day or from the archives. It was a gimmick that sounded good on paper, but was probably pretty tough to implement for little to no gain.

The projection boxes for that one were pretty large, so it was easy to see the "Christmas cards" that guests had submitted that day. I actually have a photo of the card I drew as part of the show.
Originally Posted By oc_dean Thanks DL+Dug .... I do remember, however,standing at a normal viewing point for the show ... and even with 20/20 vision, I could just barely make out what those boxes were.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 When I watched it, the designs were all over the map. If someone drew a lot of little things on their card then yes, they could be hard to make out. If they drew one or two large elements, no problem.
