Wowwwwwwwww!!! New LED lights! That'll be something to tout on the Vacation Planning DVD.
Seriously, this is the sort of upgrade that should just happen on a regular basis, not sporadically every 15 years.
Still waitin' on the new dragon though...

gotta love a F! update...they are few and far between!! Agreed on the glowing hats thing, now your gonna have to contend with light-sabers, hats, spinning lighty up Buzz, Mickey, Minnie and any other sodding character and the parent who thinks their child is more important than anyone else in the PARK, and has to be on their shoulders...great

Seriously, no Pinoc, no Eels, no Croc, no Pirate Ship, no AWESOMEDRAGON!
The shown is not sacred. It should be given room to grow. Mature. Better itself.

I've seen the DL version the past two Sundays, and the LEDs on the princess barges are very beautiful. Good work.
Of course, it's not what you're thinking of on the way out:
Seriously, there is a 30 (40?) ft tall moving animatronic dragon that actually breathes fire on one coast, and a head on the stick on another. Look at how much bigger that thing is than Mickey. And it moves around. That's unacceptable. [/rant]
Oh, but Disneyland is just a tiny, little locals only park. I mean, no one even goes to Disneyland, except 20+ Million people per year from every country on the planet.
But except for all those millions of overseas foreigners, and a few folks from Seattle or Boise and maybe Canada, no one but locals go there so they have to have a fire-breathing animatronic dragon perform twice per night. It's just what tiny, little local theme parks have to do to survive. WDW has the blessing of size, so...

I can never get over that description... "head on a stick." Hilarious.
Good thing Florida's is getting an upgrade (not the dragon).

Maleficent turned herself into a hobbyhorse... no wonder Mickey defeats her so easily!

Hopefully, sooner than later... Marni actually said that WDW is going to receive some additional nighttime offerings in the future (other than in Animal Kingdom), so I wonder if this has to do with a complete upgrade of Fantasmic!...

I visited Disneyland this summer for the first time since I was 2 years old... and there was no dragon during Fantasmic either of the 2 nights we were in the park. 
After all I'd read about the dragon it was pretty disappointing.
I'm in the camp of not being excited about Glow with the Show, although I have a coworker who cannot wait. I don't like bright lights near me during the night shows. The light sticks and spinny kids toys they sell drive me nuts.

Florida is getting a fire breathing dragon, just not for Fantasmic... And no, I'm not talking about that weird flying contraption that they showed all the mommy bloggers at the grand opening of New Fantasyland. This is different.

Don't kill her. Offer her a casino, at least.

The stick with rags coming off of it? I would kinda like to use it to wash my car.

In 2014, guests will be able to buy magical $25 flashlights prior to Fantasmic! so they can become even more involved in the show. This will also allow Disney to get rid of all of the spotlights they use in the show.

Will people find it offensive when it starts frying dwarfs? It'll almost be like a metaphor for what Potter will do in 2014 to the dwarfs Disney is going to be premiering in 2014.
