Any rumours or thoughts how they're gonna handle the dragon?
I may have daydreamed a few times during this segment that with the Fox acquisition, they could simply swap out Elizabeth and Jack for Jack and Rose from Titanic's last hour with them shouting their names ad nauseum.You liked hearing Elizabeth screaming and yelling for help at Jack Sparrow for minutes?
You're not the only person who's been saying that the current WDW version at least matches (if not surpasses) the DL version, which makes me wonder if they might restore the original soundtrack or some of those elements they changed unnecessarily (i.e. the Queen/Hag transformation) when the DL show returns.I am currently visiting Walt Disney World this week, and made it a point to see two showings of the current version running at Hollywood Studios.
I’ve never been a huge fan of the version here, but now that things have changed over the years I can’t beleive I’m saying this but I think right now they have the ‘better’ version running at the moment.
Cannot tell you how great it was to hear that original soundtrack again…and dang, even the old ‘dragon head on a stick’ was great to see.
The revamped WDW show is a pretty decent mash up of the original and some added contemporary IP additions,
Still CAN NOT at all top Disneyland’s version however with Pan and ‘Murphy’ operating with the original score,
Never to be topped, no matter how many flashy lights they try to add.

Never understood why that was kicked out?You're not the only person who's been saying that the current WDW version at least matches (if not surpasses) the DL version, which makes me wonder if they might restore the original soundtrack or some of those elements they changed unnecessarily (i.e. the Queen/Hag transformation) when the DL show returns.
No idea. One less performer to pay?Never understood why that was kicked out?

I get that but it makes for a much better showNo idea. One less performer to pay?
Wasn't my decision, nor one I support.I get that but it makes for a much better show
Is it? Don't most of the performers in the show have multiple roles?No idea. One less performer to pay?
I believe so. In the original show, the dancing monkeys changed to the pirate crew for the Peter Pan segment.Is it? Don't most of the performers in the show have multiple roles?
Hoping against hope here but is there any chance at all that when they said the dragon would not return to the show that they meant specifically Murphy. Any chance they Did not mean *a dragon * would not be in the show just *that* dragon would not return to the show. I mean literally the shows iconic moment, is the fire breathing dragon and Mickey. It's on the pin. It's on the t-shirt. It's on the coffee mug. But it's no longer in the show?

Dustysage at MiceChat was saying the reason they are bringing Pan back is to throw fans a bone, as Disney knows they aren’t going to be happy about the lack of dragon.
I think they should have added rapunzel but also keep the other 3Or perhaps they felt that removing Snow White from the princess medley made the transition to the Evil Queen unnecessary.
Faulty reasoning, mind-especially since they kept both the Hag and the Magic Mirror in the 2.0 version of the show-but not a mistake modern Disney would be above making.
I don't hate Rapunzel being there in the 2.0 version of the medley, but I get the feeling it was at least partially done because they could reuse the vocals for "I See the Light," which came from one of the earlier Christmas WOCs while also allowing them to still crow about including a newer princess. I honestly would have preferred that one of the other two princesses would have been swapped out instead of Snow White. Snow White is potentially underrepresented in the parks given her importance to the history of the Disney studio, something that I can't really say about Ariel or Belle.
