I believe its around 4 hours, which would be fine for the Trolley Show, which looks like it needs around 4 or 5 hour shift currently. The performers may also appear in other shows.

New MK welcome show debuts Jan. 9th
- Thread starter Rteetz
- Start date
I can be quite critical of Disney, and TDO in particular, but I hope they don't. I could see this going either way, but I really do hope that the bean counters don't prevail and a little 5 minute stage show to start the day at MK sticks around.

I think they should have just put the Mayor and some friends in the Main Street vehicles... followed by Mickey in an open top vehicle.. let them make some announcement in town square.. then have the vehicles 'lead the way' down main street to the hub with a sound track playing. When they get to the Hub, they make a splash... and then retreat down the parade route.

Something like that would be best, but basically impossible with the crowds at park open. The castle stage and the train station were both separated from the guests

The entirety of Main Street is not packed... and the cars can operate during normal park hours.. so with similar assistance they could work here too. You could even rope off the street itself if you were too worried... or keep people in town square (tho you'd lose the shopping angle).

If it isn't too packed in Main Street for rope drop, then I'd love something like this.
Roping off parts of main street or keeping people in town square would defeat the purpose of opening up Main Street to spread out crowds and let people get breakfast while they wait.

The purpose is to get people away from the security boundary... once you are in the park, that risk is far less. Everything else is just gravy....

If they brought back the original Main Street Bakery cinnamon rolls just for this hour through to 10:30 am, all of the complaints would vanish.

I never had the original cinnamon rolls (gasp!) but did they taste different from the ones now served at Gaston's (which I've had several times now)?
I google both, and they look the same.
Obviously that doesn't say much about taste.
The Gaston's cinnamon rolls have a maple flavored icing.

That would definitely make a big difference depending on your taste.

Hey Steve, do you know if resort guests will be allowed in BEFORE 8am on early EMH days or is that too much of a stretch?

Same here. While I can agree with other that this welcome show feels more corporate Disney, the orchestration of Zip-a-dee-do-dah feels like true Disney.

Love it. This Would've been a more proper replacement for the train.

I'm looking forward to experiencing this. I will also miss the former opening show but I am excited about walking up and down Main Street without fighting a crowd on the way to the rides. Plus I get to shop without wasting park time doing it. Finally, after living in Florida for 40+ years, I've had enough of the brutal sun. I look forward to being able to stand in the shade while waiting for rope drop.

So how is this going to effect going through the castle after the show? Is it going to be closed off or what?

Reviews I read said the castle reopened shortly after the show.

I could never get my family up early enough to catch the rope drop show. Once, I almost even went alone to do it. Now, I never will.
