The Celebration word does bring a friendly reminder that would it be nice to get the original shows back at Festival of the Lion King, Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage and more performers for Festival of Fantasy (some were cut to due to distancing).
It’s embarrassing that Beauty and the Beast hasn’t yet. That final scene is laughable right now.

It would seem they’re working towards that at FoLK atleast what with the return of the tumble monkeys.
BaTB there’s no major incentive at the moment, cheaper to run, and they still have a full show they can present. I’m sure they’ll eventually restage but no rush to have to rehearse and retrain the whole cast at the moment.
For fof the Princess garden couples on the float and Anna were rehearsed and approved prior to opening so they can easily be slotted back in whenever.
The rest of the cuts were just that...cuts. So don’t necessarily expect to see them back anytime soon if at all.

Not sure. Her and Wendy are both pretty integrated into their new choreography so I don’t see them going to change that already.
Wendy I don't mind. I'm just not happy that MK can't use Mickey/Minnie's Talking Loop with Minnie walking....

playing that on a loop and touting it as the "return" of fantasmic is not something i'd put past MalefiChapek or Daddy Josh
Normally I'd agree, but they spent a LOT of money to refurbish that lagoon and set. I can't imagine Chapek wouldn't want to see it used.

Sigh!!!! So much for Blog Mickey!.........

I mean it literally takes a few hours to refill the lagoon. I don’t think he was right about April, either, but a drained lagoon isn’t indicative of a long delay in the show’s return. His April return always seemed ambitious. June seems much more plausible.

That's impressive. It used to take me 2 days to refill my pool.
