Because summer in WDW is so crowded that no one comes any more.Don't get me wrong, I'll take whatever MK gives us but why can't MK return to 11 or 12 Midnight close with the old Summer Schedule??

Ah........Because summer in WDW is so crowded that no one comes any more.
And F! hasn't changed their Schedule since the early 90s since DL went down to 2 a night. Also, every time MSEP returns, it falls back into the old Schedule....I've always thought MKs hours were dumb. 9am-10pm? Yet another reason I prefer Land, where hours are 8-midnight usually. So nice to be able to do hours of rides afterwards with minimal waits (after the families have gone home post-fireworks). I find it ironic that Disneyland's SECOND GATE is open an hour longer than all of Magic Kingdom
To be fair, DL closes early with no fireworks and opens at 10 am on weekdays for most of the year.I've always thought MKs hours were dumb. 9am-10pm?

Very FairTo be fair, DL closes early with no fireworks and opens at 10 am on weekdays for most of the year.
WDW deserves much criticism by they should be lauded for offering nighttime spectaculars in 3 parks 365 nights a year.
It took DL a year to bring F! back with Maleficent in B-mode…
Fireworks are on weekends most of the year, but that's just because of a legal issue with daily fireworks, not Disney themselves. They offer WoC (usually twice) every single night at DCA as well. They have two parades, Fantasmic, fireworks, and on nights without fireworks, still a stunning projection show. The projections (unless the projectors are under their occasional maintenance) are every night. Still, longer hours. Also when does it open at 10? I've never seen that. On a Thursday in November (November 17 2023) it was still 8-12 and 8-10. Even in January, it's still 8-10, which is an hour longer than WDW.To be fair, DL closes early with no fireworks and opens at 10 am on weekdays for most of the year.

Last time I went, both parks were 10-8. Guess I was unlucky!Fireworks are on weekends most of the year, but that's just because of a legal issue with daily fireworks, not Disney themselves.

The fantasmic changes are temporary. Everything that was and more will return. They just wanted the show back at all. In addition, we have 4 viewing areas for our fireworks each with different show elements such as lighting, projections, and now even a second soundtrack. You have... one? two? viewing areas. Also yes you were just unlucky. That's not normal hours.Last time I went, both parks were 10-8. Guess I was unlucky!
I wasn’t at all impressed with DL’s nighttime offerings but that’s a matter of preference. They keep making their Fantasmic! worse.
The new Maleficent (no dragon) change is temporary? I didn't know that....The fantasmic changes are temporary. Everything that was and more will return. They just wanted the show back at all.

Yeah it is. It's being built in London atmThe new Maleficent (no dragon) change is temporary? I didn't know that....
Curious if you’re hinting at further show changes beyond just the dragon?The fantasmic changes are temporary. Everything that was and more will return.
That's fantasmic news!!!Yeah it is. It's being built in London atm
Bring back the version from 10 years ago through the queen. Then find some way to have a villain practically appear on stage (like Jafar does in FL) so the villain section 2nd act isnt a projection marathon. Honestly everyone complains about dancing bubbles, but that section is far shorter then the Ursula and Churnabog sections combined.Curious if you’re hinting at further show changes beyond just the dragon?
Came back through the thread and saw this. I'm happy with that. I won't disagree with those that say the show needs changes. It definitely does in some spots but it's a strong show as it is. At the very least that hardware can stay in use for a decade, it's excellent at what it does.I had a conversation today and was told, regardless of our analyses, that those in charge are very pleased with internal metrics for Luminous.
That dragon's going to be so pretentious when she comes back from a semester abroad.
I noticed tonight that the CommuniCore hall spotlights were going after Luminous. Do the lights in world celebration interact with Luminous or is it unrelated?
