I am legit angry at Ariel.
That was some straight-up BS last night. I know for a fact that the girl does a faster 200m butterfly than Michael Phelps.

- Dragon B-mode fire breath.
- Steamboat pyro pinwheels were perfect.

- Dragon was stuck through steamboat finale. Fixed before Sorceror Mickey appeared.
- Light towers didn't turn on when Tuxedo Mickey disappeared before the final loud pyro flash.
- Full show tonight.
- No flower pyro.
- Snake eyes glitched out.
- Dragon B-mode fire breath.
- Steamboat pyro pinwheels half didn't spin.

I’m just waiting for the day that they can stop spacing out the top deck of the steamboat Willie finale like it’s 2020 all over again, so Rapunzel and Flynn can join the show in some form or another(not counting the dated bubble scene), right in between Jasmine & Mary Poppins
I already explained about the comedic Pocahontas raccoon still being there that was supposed to be Mirabel in another post

They’re only spaced out for choreo purposes and staging…not 2020 reasons…all the characters there are tied to other tracks throughout the whole show so if they didn’t add someone during the closure/refurb; it’s going to be a long while before we see different characters.

The max numbers of characters on the steamboat did decrease by one (36 -> 35), but more importanly, imo, is how many now do the ribbon dance choreography.

One additional CM was added to the ribbon dance, which is Prince Naveen. There was usually 3 characters at the bottom front, but now there's 4.
Two characters were removed from the top deck, one moved to bottom row and one gone permanently. They can always add another character to the top deck again, like Anna to be paired with Elsa, or perhaps the Genie again.
Regardless, having more characters do the ribbon choreography is a plus for me, especially since it was revamped to where they spin (again) and look up to Mickey!
Would also note that pre-closure, some characters would consistency be missing from the steamboat finale. So while the max was 36, on most nights it was actually 34 or even less. Snow White and Prince are usually the first ones to go, then Rafiki, then the Dwarfs.
Now since its return for the past month? Has consistently remained at 35; would sometimes go down to 34 when Rafiki/Old Hag was out for the night.
Also something I noticed recently - The ribbons now have straps on them so CMs can't let go and accidentally drop the ribbons, for safety. They should implement this at DL because it's so common over there for CMs to accidentally drop their ribbons, especially with the Pixar characters in the back.

Lots of technical issues last night (12/14).
No second barge with Ariel/Eric. There were 3 monkey barges, so something must've happened backstage since then.
No dragon, so B-mode with Malificient on lift happened. This is the first time this B-mode played out since the return as far as I can tell. Also no moat fire.
Half the lights on the towers weren't working either.
Video starts at B-mode Malificient scene:

A bit anticlimactic! “Run, Mickey! Mal is waving about maliciously!”

I mean, it must be pretty embarrassing when you begin dragon metamorphosis and get stuck... halfway.
"Uhhh, Mickey? It's Mal... can you... help me get down? I seem to have grown and gotten stuck."

He is Moana.
When DHS needs the Stage Finale, Everyone should be there except Mickey, Ariel and Eric, correct? I didn't count that weird night when F! stopped, then continued which turned into the Stage Finale.
LOL!!!! Honestly you people!!
