News Guardians of the Galaxy party coming to Epcot this summer

[Kman101]

Could have even worked at Theater of the Stars, similar to Pixar last year. Either run shows between BatB or just in the evening. The park needs the capacity this summer.

I've always thought Theater of the Stars would work well for things like this (a theater that houses seasonal entertainment/performances). And the Pixar music thing. Or the Pixarmonic Orchestra. Or a number of things. A real stage show should be in the Hyperion. Frozen should have replaced Mermaid. Anywho ...

Have to disagree with you a tiny bit. Tangled should have replaced Mermaid. And still should, unless Disney decides to finally do something with Moana in that space.

I'm sure the show is in Epcot to get everyone used to the Guardians being there, but it just would have been a natural fit for DHS. Oh well.

I love the "pyro." The red flames are awesome and remind me of the Michael Jackson One Show in Vegas. The sparklers aren't really pyro. They don't even have gun powder in the granules. I met the guy who manufactures them at IAAPA a couple years ago. The used to be a couple thousand per unit but are now only a couple thousand for four on Amazon!

At least it’s better than that weird Barbie thing from the 90’s!
GOTG I think belongs in HS and could easily replace a show there. Maybe Awesome Mix Live could replace Voyage of the Little Mermaid.

I mean, what's next? A 3D movie starring the King of Pop, or something? When will the thematic destruction of Epcot Center end?

Glad to hear that the show is actually good, but it still doesn't make me agree with GotG being shoved where it doesn't belong.

I might check it out though, if I'm able to go while it's running. Which isn't likely, considering I have blockout for most of the summer.

Sorry to break from the hate train, but does anyone know if the wrist bands are only given to passholders, or can family and friends who are with you in the park sit with you in the special section as well?

And it's really no different than other cover bands they used to have in the summer ... same thing just toss in Guardians characters. But I actually thought the show was kinda fun. Wrong park and place but not the worst thing in the world. I do like the music used though, that could be why. And the band seems talented. It's better than the dance-off thing they tried to peddle in Anaheim and now Paris.

Plus the GoTG merchandise/toys taking over the Outdoor vending cart in the American Pavilion... :/

The World Showcase is a tribute to all cultures... but mostly Xandarian.

I want a Starlords T shirt, I hear that people in the audience are showing up wearing them!!! Complete with the correct logo and all. Marie

This one?

It says "gears shift".

 

[wannabeBelle]

I haven't seen them, one of my friends did, but my understanding was that these shirts say "The Starlords" with the graphic from the show as if it were a concert shirt for the band. It sounds awesome!!! Marie

Point taken.

But there is one but: the Magic Eye Theater is the realm of fanciful flights of the imagination. Pretty much anything goes.

Plus another but: EO, too, was already a celeb pop culture invasion in a bid to make EPCOT more relevant, timeless and Eisner.

It also stayed in situ. None of this synergy BS with Hooter promenading around World Showcase with a beer stein... and while the Guardians haven't exactly done that yet, crashing a FW pavilion is arguably worse.

Saw it on Wednesday and enjoyed it. Both of the people playing Star Lord and Gamora were great and the live band were pretty damn good too. Probably going to go see it again next week. I’d rather listen to this than that god awful a cappella group that were there before.

Just saw a video where the main singer is the guy who played Dr. Facilier's assistant at Club Villain. He has a fantastic voice.

That was the one I thought it was. This is such a talented cast, I am so annoyed that I will miss it as none of my trips coincide with the show dates!!! Marie
