I think there's been a realization that the d23 crew doesn't exactly represent the everyday, big profit guest. Why announce things that'll be popular to most guests in front of a crowd that will hate them

Probably a positive with how the on-topic discussion is going...

So then option 2. Close it so everyone shuts up about trying to save it

I like this theory. Demo crews hit Muppets, then tom Sawyer, then dinosaur. Or maybe they wanted to rush the closure and dismantling to shut everyone up.

Would they be able to clear demo material out of the courtyard once the coaster box is built? Im guessing they couldn't have pulled down the muppets store while the attraction was open

No chance they'd block the events calendar for 2 months for that space to run a festival. Unless there's another pandemic.

The hallway with one food booth and a couple displays doesn't count. WOL festival center was legit. And you could do an air conditioned summer fest with 5-10 food booths, displays, and shops in there. Im not saying its the best use of space, but if its gonna be empty otherwise its a good temp...

Or at least temporarily make it a festival center again. They could even run a summer festival then.

More DJs, more splashpads, even more office park seating areas. And, of course, more lights that will break in two weeks

I agree with you, except that PTN is such a different parade for video. I like PTN way better btw. But its solid lights with route lighting and big plastic lit floats. This is all black everything with string lights. Having seen it in person and on video, that kind of parade doesn't translate...

That's fair. Its just wild to see people beg for a night parade in the style or spectro, then have disney roll that out only for people to tear it to shreds off of a video of it from a cell phone, without even seeing it.

I think ive added to the topic, including my thoughts having actually seen it in person night one. Its frustrating to me how things are balanced and good discussions for 24 hours, then shifts to just constant negativity after. It just gets a bit old, honestly.

Takes about 24 hours for the vultures to smell it. Time for us to hop out and let them argue about a dark parade they watched through a video.

Yeah but harmonius was both hideous during the day and a pretty terrible show (if you disagree thats fine, but you cant tell me the lion king portion was anything but cruise ship slop). This parade is beautiful but way under staffed. Not sure that leaving the park will result in more staffing.

My recommendation is that nobody judges this over video. A parade on an unlit route is never going to work on video. I could see these costumes in person. I dont know if i noticed swirls, but i saw fabric with some parterns and pulsing lights. I thought they looked good. Just werent enough of...
