Disney Destiny

Based on the character profile given to the Cast Members who are friends of Facilier I think they have done enough to neuter his character to an acceptable level. Along with his recent new costume that removed the skulls etc the character can no longer refer to voodoo, black magic, friends on the other side etc.
And that is one of many reasons Tiana turned out as bad as it did. It wasn't enough to get rid of Splash for the reasons expressed ad nauseum. They couldn't even do a classic retelling of PATF with Facililer. It's dark magic because it's "bad". That's what makes him a good villain.

Interesting now that the Christening did have him mentions his friends on the other side and explicitly showed them on the show.

Feels like the theming of Destiny overall is more subtle and sleek and less whimisical and decor-in-your-face compared to the Treasure and Wish. I still prefer the latter, since when I'm at Disney I want to experience the fantastical but appreciate the looks of Destiny too.

Incredibles really doesn't work as a theme for the ice cream parlor though - wayyy too corporate feel. Can't believe they couldn't think of a more fitting IP for this space.

Hercules looks incredible as a stage show - should have been a broadway show a long time ago already.

AFAIK they've been struggling to get it to a place where it would be successful on Broadway.

It's funny, I actually thought the opposite re:theming. Feels more like the older Disney ships where it's more elaborate and over the top and less stylish to me.

And yes, love the Incredibles but I could have thought of at least 10 better themes. Also, why is it Edna A La Mode instead of FROZONE treats at least (yes lazy and been done but it's right there....)

The continuing use of Facilier all over the place belies that baseless rumor that Facilier was left out of TBA for woke reasons.

Watched the event live on their Facebook page. Cool drone show.

Influencers are on the ship now. Expect lots of content!
It was a good show but Drones will never match fireworks for me, they lack excitement and spectacle. I kept waiting for the finale expecting something big, nope, just more drones, was a bit disappointed.

I like the designs and color scheme on this ship but didn’t see anything that would make me book it over the original 4… still looking forward to the next class of ships, hopefully they excite me more than the Wish class have.

What is disneys obsession with Eda mode?

She is a minor character that no one is interested in and yet disney parks and dcl keep pushing her on us. No one wants Eda Mode.

What you need is to combine drones + fireworks!

While these were just giant sparklers, I'm not sure why you couldn't use drones as the launch tubes for other types.
