Dream Along to close?

I don't think any (unreplaced) loss of entertainment is a good thing, but DAWM isn't exactly my favorite show. Since it's clearly a permanent fixture at this point, it'd be nice if the stage was replaced with something that flows with the rest of Cinderella Castle and doesn't close off access through the Castle during the day.

Might it just be going on a hiatus until the hub redevelopment is done? Or will we get a new castle show? Because the stage isn't going anywhere, and they're gonna use it tired something.

Agreed. I hate it when they do that

No show in front of the castle would be fine, but I did enjoy it the 1st time I saw it.

Yes, please tear all that crap down and leave the Castle available to walk thru all day.

Looking on YT, the base of that stage has been there since 1981, maybe earlier. Some shows were walkable like Best Of Disney. Others were not. It's not really a new thing for the castle to be closed for shows. Now, in between shows is another story. However, I don't think we should give TDO any ideas of getting rid of it just because it roped off. They're other ways to Fantasyland. It's the last stage in MK!

They should do another Best of Disney

Don't you think a new castle show would generate some excitement? It sure seems like the new parade has done so!

I wouldn't mind it if it's temporary, just so I can walk through the castle again at a more reasonable time.

Does the Utilidor run under the stage? I wonder if they would consider rebuilding the stage so that it would be accessed from below. I believe this is how the massive stage in Tokyo is done, though they have more room to play with for a stage-level backstage area that doesn't block views.

Tokyo has no access to almost anything underground. There is one tunnel the runs the width of the park but doesn't go near the castle. All of the castle performers have to march all the way through fantasyland in costume to get to the stage, which, like MK, is blocked off for all showtimes. MK performers can access their backstage area inside the castle via utilidor.
