Yes and no. There are odd fundamental and even obvious choices in themed design that were neglected here.While it’s valid to question some of the recent Imagineering choices, I’m not sure the Imagineers, per se, were the driving force behind these changes. I’m quite confident they were given a mandate to remove the existing songs, use only Disney IP songs to replace them, and make sure the new show’s humor would be as benign and inoffensive as possible.
Even though I’m not a fan of the changes, in this instance, they did the best with the constraints they were given, IMO.
The concept itself of synergy is mostly exec level. Writing, pacing and direction issues are a WDI blame.
