The Spirited 11th Hour ...

At least we don't have to hear "Dream" being said as much as this show did.


Also you statement about high school-level, lip-synced play acting

Yeah, it's offensive to anyone who made it past 3 years old.

"Celebrate! A Street Party" was at Disneyland. I think you guys may be thinking of Move It Shake It Celebrate/Dance and Play It.

Besides getting a Frozen show in Summer, I really hope Disney can come up with a better daytime castle show. I really loved the previous one being "Cinderella's Surprise Celebration" from the 2001 - 2006.

In 2005, Cinderellabration replaced the Surprise Celebration. It was as forgettable as it sounds: princesses arrived and danced on the stage. Then the show ended.

The songs offered park guests such clever lyrics as, "Cinderellabration/ all across the nation..."

And in other news
Star Wars prosecuted over Harrison Ford injury
"The Health And Safety Executive has brought four criminal charges against Foodles Production (UK) Ltd - a subsidiary of Disney."

Seeing this late, but criminal prosecution over a (relatively) minor workplace injury? We're not talking about a situation where an employer's bad acts cause someone to die.

HEY GET UP

Along with removing that purple and blue tent located in the middle of the entrance of Cinderella Castle. I really miss seeing the Cinderella Castle like this before they added it around 2005 or 2006.

Yo, is that a picture?!?!

I vividly remember that show being new. How long did that last?

Shouldn't be a surprise - Disneyland has not removed their benches, and there are a ton of them. It is only WDW that wants people up and moving all the time.

That's due to the WDW fitness program.

this is media trying to make a big deal out of what amounts to a simple workplace safety incident case. Akin to OSHA fining or investigating an employer after an accident. Serious, of course, but 'news' or worth pumping.. hell no

Watch Tokyos on YouTube one day it was much better. Ours was embarrassing

Hmmm. I seem to recall the giant magic mirror on the castle from that time period....

That was a great overlay.

It's not actually a requirement for someone to die in order for it to be a criminal act you know.

In this case I think it's simply that the prosecution is via the Health & Safety Executive (it would after all be a workplace safety violation so not a police matter) and they are proceeding at their regular pace.

Question: can they "preload" forthcoming costs into a prior quarter? Mostly I ask as they specifically cite Disneyland being one of the contributors to higher costs. Nothing really happened at DL last quarter, all the ROA closures happened this quarter. Unless Rollickin' Roadsters was a real money sink.

WDW I certainly understand, Disney Springs and Pandora are both at their peak in construction expenses.

Short answer ... NO. Normal expenses need to be expenses as they occur. And capital expenditures are expenses on depreciation (over time).

 

[lazyboy97o]

Still wondering what will replace it.. no rumors around?
because removing it and leaving no replacement will seriously reinforce the "lol cost cutting and giving nothing back" complains.

If such a change was a budget cut it would at least have a positive outcome of ending the stupid Castle shows.

Actually, no, that is incorrect.

The UK takes workplace safety much more seriously than the US does, because as you state, here, OSHA can just give a small fine or whatnot and it's basically a hand-slap (even in cases of death).

In this case, the investigation has been concluded and these are criminal charges that are being filed in a court of law based upon them.

This is a whole 'nother beast - and while most of the time I'd concur with your notion of the media trying to make anything out of nothing because "it's Disney" - in this case, this is actually very noteworthy indeed and far beyond anything we'd see in the US. Companies being legally responsible for their actions...I know, it almost seems...criminal, LOL.

I wonder if the spirited has new rumors for Rivers of Light.

Last I heard (A few months back) that DAK was preparing for a lot of late night closing a starting at the end of this month/beginning March.

Take it for what you will but I would think the previews are close… I would assume this would be open in time for spring break.

 

[Stitchon]

CASP was more of a parade than Move It Shake It, as it took the daily parade slot after Parade of Dreams's departure. It was very dense with characters and performers, and was a bit more like Block Party Bash on a much smaller scale. It also royally screwed traffic throughout the park because of its multiple stops and sealing off guest areas for performers to rest between their cues.
