We saw them a few times during that week, but only on Main Street.

The ceremony sure didn't wow the crowd.

Every time I've seen it it's been quire well done and well received. A nice way to open the park for the day.

From my recollection, that specific opening show made many people cringe. Now, the traditional CM opening, picking someone out of the crowd and having them help open the park I think is a great thing. This would occur behind the turnstyles. I am speaking of two different things and I was curious if the former had lasted or if it was put out of it's misery. What is the current practice?
