Yes, all of this. So many joints and gaps and intersecting lines at strange angles. Doesn't help the star was, for some strange reason, designed as eight pieces when it should have been two - a left and right side. Agree. No idea how such poor design made it to the final product. How is this in...

I'd assume SSE closes for some kind of refurbishment once Guardians opens (I imagine the park needs all the ride capacity it can get right now). That still allows 15+ months to work on SSE and have it reopen by the end of 2023. I'd like to think (hope?) that's plenty of time to do a track...

I think the clip show nature of Harmonious can lead to more side conversations as folks see/hear "their favorite" movie or character and then talk with others about their excitement. So, the lack of silence isn't necessarily a bad thing. But you're right that the format means there's less...

If anyone wants to have a fun challenge, see if you can spot the Arabic script for "Kingdom of Morocco" in that stylized calligraphy (I'm sure @LittleBuford has no issue finding it!). For reference: المملكة المغربية is what you're looking for, and it is in there!

Yep. Asymmetrical before whereas it is now symmetrical. Previous version for reference from just before the Covid closure (boo to the arches, but goodness do I miss the non-pink castle scheme):

7. Get rid of the Stargate. That thing somehow manages to be both over and underwhelming at the same time. During the day, it's a gigantic eyesore that can't be mitigated, yet it's also pretty much superfluous during the actual show with your eye drawn to the much brighter and higher resolution...

I know just the duo for the job (they even have a kite already!):

I feel you could say this for WDW as a whole. There have been decisions made for rides, shows, and the hotels in the last ~5 years that, for lack of a better word, feel "alien" to a lot of long time WDW fans. So many new things are clones and/or character IP focused, the constant up charges for...

I don’t know if this idea would come across in practice, but it would have been great to have a castle projection with a slow reveal of Joe Gardner playing the piano at Casey Corner, with Main Street then transforming into The Zone as it does now. And that would have been the hook into a park...

Ah, Disney live streams. They try and try and find yet new ways to screw it up. Bless them. After seeing some other YouTuber videos, Enchantment is... fine, maybe a lateral to half step back from HEA. It was sort of like watching a cover band perform HEA's greatest hits. Everything is there but...

Go on… Holiday songs from around the world, sung in their local language, would be amazing. Even a 5 minute tag would be great.

The tacos aren’t even motorized, right, or am I misremembering? If they aren’t, they’d have to push them with a speedboat which sounds like a big hassle.

I didn't say it was a shining example of Disney parade operations! ;) I'm well aware of its operational flaws. But it, and the Millennium Celebration in general, came from a good creative place (we'll ignore the accompanying NFL halftime show...that was rough). And, as you say, at least it had...

I can't help but think back to the Millennium Celebration and the creative design for Tapestry of Nations. If I recall correctly, the show designers put a lot of thought into how to create a parade that could be universally understood by anyone from any culture. And they realized the best thing...

Appreciate you taking the time to type this. I get what you're saying because there are some good ideas behind the show, but it's not coming through in the final product. The disjointed nature of the score with a lot of hard cuts and fades to black makes it hard to identify themes or story. A...

Well, that might be the end of that. Glad the show team is all OK. A lot riding on Enchantment for the entertainment staff. They're 0/2 so far...

I've watched 4 different perspectives now in addition to the DPB live stream (which was terrible in its staging, as per tradition at this point). I really wanted to give the show a chance and see as many of the effects in context as I could. But this thing is a mess. The tech may be cool, but...

More bothersome to me is it means they just plowed ahead and didn't care. Harm's hardware, literally, doesn't fit the park - it's too big to move, it doesn't fit in the marina, it blocks views across World Showcase, the stargate is off center, large parts of the promenade can't even see the...

It's so bad it's good. I mean, the pinnacle of Disney entertainment this is not, but there is something fun about seeing giant character kites soaring above the water. And watching them face plant into the Asia stands after each segment is rather funny; you could tell the crowd was as into that...

If it was canceled, the pavilion would presumably sit there unused and abandoned for many more years. So, while I'm not at all excited about the concept behind Play, the sooner it's opened the better at this point because old Future World desperately needs more stuff to do. Between nothing or...
