To coincide with the beginning of the 60th celebration? There's no way, it would be total insanity.

I agree, horrible execution. The narration is not really necessary. Why not let the images and music tell the story? Some of the effects are cool, but....ugh.
Has Disney ever been confronted about their water use? Considering the drought out in Cali, a show like this....

Is that before or after the 5th gate? Or the marvel contract gets bought out?

Just watched it and I agree. The show just seems off. The whole narration seems very forced and not needed.

Apparently the Shanghai Store is being very well received. It's interesting that the line went on that long when people don't know about Disney there. Any ideas why people showed up?
Sorry if this is a double post.

really? they didnt learn much of WDW?
I mean.. WDW's own systems arent even stable!
they still CRASH.. A LOT.
Hmm, there might be a small market for Disney stuff there after all.

Is the narration fixed? or it was an one time event for the 60th?

well...! when your population is in the thousands of millions, even if only a fraction of them knows Disney.. they will count and seem like they are a lot.

This is the show that will run for the duration of the 60th celebration; not a one time event.
Guess I forgot the dripping sarcasm tag on that one. Sorry 'bout that.

I find this highly… Highly unlikely.
Clarification: I think they'll try but I really don't think it will be received well nor succeed.

Here's what I want to know:
-It's firmly been established that this is "China's Disney Park", similar in the way Tokyo Disney is "OLC's Disney Park".
-China doesn't particularly care for Iger, and are using their clout to prevent him from planting his favourite brand (himself) firmly in Shanghai.
-They are not actually blocking him from site visits, they just don't like parading the man around.
-There was still a proper opening ceremony for the Disney store, crowds showed up, locals used a fake key and a giant lock, there was pomp-and-circumstance a minor representative from TWDC made a speech and most importantly Mickey/Minnie were present. One could argue they (Mickey) are far more important as company figure-heads than Iger, who will be long gone a decade from now.
-As part of their clout, China wants to be more tight-lipped than the normal 'overshare every little detail including benches' that is Disney's current M.O.
-A to-do was made of the castle topping, pretty similar to the Paris video @WDW1974 posted, albeit with just photos. There was no commentary or Eisner in that 1991 video either.
Everything is pretty close to the norm... but Iger is clearly being pushed to the side.
So the question - Is this actually a bad thing from our perspective?
Sure it's a bad thing for Iger, and perhaps for Disney by having a partner who are willing to make demands, but is it actually a bad thing overall?

I don't understand why people hate FastPass+, I go to the parks often and have no issue with the system. My only complaint is that The App works best on IOS and I have a strong hatred for that OS.

Do you think it is because the elements of the show (water screens, fountains, etc.) are used as a means to tell the story more so than using them to enhance the story?
