Technically, the DL show is head and shoulders above the DHS version. That said, Fantastic 2.0 at DL, has had the heart ripped out of it. The original version was one complete story, supported by an incredible score that was purposely written as one continuous piece of music. The current version has a "cut and paste" feel, and the entire "flow" of the show has been compromised. Although it's beautiful, I really don't like the DL show anymore. Thankfully, the DHS version has not been chopped up. Upgrade the effects to include the razzle dazzle of F! 2.0, keep the original score, and now, in my opinion, the DHS version comes out ahead of DL's. And yep, I know the Steamboat Willie is small, the dragon's head is on a stick, and there's that Pocahontas segment, but, I find Mickey appearing at the top of a mountain far more impressive than popping out of the top of a mill structure. Maleficent's demise is also a bit more dramatic at DHS (a few seconds longer and that huge curtain of water). I also find sitting on a bench far more comfortable than peaking between the heads of tall people, or sitting uncomfortably on cement.
My hope is/was, that new projection mapping had been installed and tonights closure was a test....I can dream, can't I?
