Rides seem to be all walk-on/low wait cause everyone is doing the entertainment/food

If only this park had easily reprogrammable screen-based rides to apply seasonal overlays to help disperse crowds. Sigh, if only…

What did management expect? Not enough for people to do. Event is oversold no doubt.

The Tip Top Soriee and Muppets are the best concepts for this event, but its not HHN level effort.

Conceptually fine, but like the halloween attempt at the same park years ago, a miss.

The Tip Top soiree should have been backstage in an auxiliary space where it felt like you were getting there via a room themed to an elevator. Some HHN level(in terms of budget considering what the hard ticket costs) temporary theming to an area where if you have to wait 25 minutes for a drink, then it is a club. It would have been Disney's Dead Coconut Club but classier.

The fact that the park is smaller & tighter than a park like MK isnt helping either I'm guessing.

If the crowd capacity is scaled to park size then park size doesn't really matter. Instead, it seems like they sized the crowd as though people would spread throughout the park, but it's a problem that huge chunks, TSL and GE, have nothing back there to draw people.

I'm happy we weren't able to get tickets until the 20th. First, some time to work out kinks. Second, maybe Disney tackles that partially by lowering capacity for no sold out dates. We'll see if any dates "sell out" quickly now.

Hollywood show was cute. Dancers costumes look very Carnival cruise ship though. The costume change for the finale looked better. Can't believe with the amount speaking and singing by Mickey and Minnie they didn't use articulated heads. Is theater of the stars not set up for that tech or is this just TDO conducting business as usual?

It's been 6 years and Matt Vogel's Kermit still sounds so off....

I know Steve never sounded like Jim, but they both were instantly recognizable as Kermit. Matt still just doesn't do it for me.

Folks here complaining that nothing seems special, are you there or armchair reviewing?

The people who are there are certainly speaking their peace, and the word is not good.

I think the shows are pretty good but it really should've been included in normal admission, it's new Disney I guess.

Everyone should get they’re tickets automatically refunded what an embarrassment

They really had no budget to restore the DHS flamethrowers & 2 missing side lasers in JBJB... I think it has more pyro than the 2019 version in some areas.

Unless the pouring rain was a factor tonight, the flamethrowers are probably gone. Or they could be in the same situation as DL's flame throwers that have been on pause ever since the fire incidient in their F!

I did notice there was more pyro, which is probably due to them not using the World Drive launch site and make up for the lack of high-level shells.

They've been removed ever since the covid closure, they used to be in the projection show pre covid. The flamethrowers got replaced by this pyrotechnic in JBJB which seems to be from Fantasmic

I wonder if they were moved from the Hocus Pocus stage show. Fantasmic! used to have those green/red flames next to Malificient on the lift, but ever since the MNSSHP parties started in August, they were using B-mode on the barges in the water (in your second picture).

They could've borrowed the pyro equipment from F! for that stage show, and now they could've moved it to Jingle Bell Jingle Bam show lol.

Edit, adding pics.

What do you see about the critiques here that would be different if someone was present?

I don’t need to be there to know the Pluto is the same as Hollywood & Dine, the goofy was from Disneyland, P&F were from 11 years ago at the Studios, and Max + Rescue Rangers were out all summer. 4 new overlays is pathetic to Mount a new event

Agreed. Or that Matt Vogel still sounds off as someone said, or that the Tip Top Soriee is not an attempt at an indoor Tip top Club, but rather, a small stage built around a lightpost at the exit with drink stands.

Wild that this is the same theme park resort who gave us Country Bear Christmas and entertainment offerings in season theme included with event just a couple decades ago. Now we are lucky to get Jingle Cruise by day.

This event had such potential and something they could bring to DCA. Bummed to hear it didn't deliver on its first night. Even if they fix the staffing issues, the offerings themselves still appear to be lackluster. Not sure how this became such a big miss.
