Our last trip to WDW, the only show we felt that was up to the calibre of the DL or DLP shows was the Finding Nemo musical at DAK. Whereas Aladdin at DCA, and the old Mulan, Lion King and Tarzan shows at DLP are/were world class.

And I'm upset that he isn't allowed to show his face at the Magic Kingdom any more--except for special ticketed events where you would have to shell out more shekels in order to see him! At least Disneyland allows him to come out more often. ORGOCH: I'm partial ta the little lizard--Rascal--my own dang self. ORWEN: His name is Pascal! ORGOCH: I call him whatever I wants! An' I'll bet he'd taste good as a frog leg if'n I could ketch him an' fry him up!

Then you would have no need for the DHS version- it could be replaced with something better, and B&tB would not lose it's presence completely. Cirque does so well there, so I've always wondered why a Disney-themed large scale show couldn't be a success there also.
