if you had to add three scenes and take away two scenes from Fantasmic, what would they be?

I think the Pocahontas scene is dated and even differs from DL at Eisner's request.
Truthfully, the whole show is in need of updating, but NOT replacing.

Ah yes, but Disney doesn't know how to update without replacing
D23 is a fine example of that.

I'd like to see a POTC scene be added, but something better than the one at Disneyland. It's just kind of awkward.

I'm actually a fan of the Pocahontas sequence.
It might be fun to see them attempt something from The Incredibles on stage, with a bunch of special effects. Wonder how they could make something like Elastigirl work? Gimmicked sleeves that lock into hidden sleds in the background? Have her stay close to the wall and use digital projection? On the other hand, I'm not sure something with superhero/sci-fi elements like The Incredibles would even be a good fit for the more classic looking Fantastmic sequences.
Would be cool to incorporate some limited elements of live musical performance into the show, like Mickey's Magical Map does at Disneyland.
The Maleficent dragon cannot be big enough. Triple it in size, if possible.
Could be neat for them to try to do a Lilo and Stitch surfing thing. Maybe have half a dozen jetski-type vehicles, very low, painted black with its driver wearing all black, and then have a brightly-colored day-glo surfboard on top of it with a brightly-attired actor on top of it, to give the illusion that the "surfer" is the one making the thing move around.
Jetboards would probably be too fast and too difficult for the performers to safely control in the darkness.
Moana would be a good fit too, if we want something on the water.
Not only could they do something with trimarans in the lagoon, but what if they were to do another "miniboss" villain on stage like Kaa and build a Tamatoa, complete with bright, onboard lighting effects. This would be a large, multi-person puppet, I guess. With disco balls.

That could be really fun. Giant projection effects on the mountain behind him?
Plus there's multiple opportunities to do neat things with fireflies on some of the non-villain songs from that film.
