How do you think they even came up with the plot of the Beauty and the Beast sing-along?

Seriously, the "Lefou was setting everything up behind the scenes the whole time!" plot just seems to weird to me, especially for a sing-along...

I have a stupid/outdated question. I thought WS doesn't open until 11AM, or is that changed now...or is it just open to the area next to the International Gateway?

It’s open now at 9. Might have been around when Remy opened???

"*shrug* It was funny when The Lion King did it?"

Most likely Disney sees the film as not aligning with their agenda as it portrays a very traditional and beautiful view of the French and France.

I believe that all of Epcot opening at the same time started after they reopened after COVID.

I got the sort of same email back from sales and solutions. Feedback to appropriate Leadership? Ok who’s that?

It’ll go to attractions leaders and upper park leadership. I know everyone gets discouraged by the standard reply emails they get, but all this feedback does get sent to the people responsible, whether they change their mind who knows. Also any feedback left in person at the park at guest relations is forwarded to the right area by the end of each day, every little bit helps.

It seems someone at Disney forgot that part of Epcot is called World Showcase! The short film certainly showcases one of the countries represented there. That singalong thing certainly does not.

Many things still don't open till 11, you have a park jam packed with people yet so many things stay closed, (another email to guest relations at some point). orange blossom, the world traveler stores in front of the lagoon, and certain pavilion shops and what not are all locked till 11. Its ridiculous especially with the skyliner now bringing so many into WS. Someone correct me if wrong but nothing in the UK right there opens till 11.

Clicking though MDX it looks like most shopping and attractions around World Showcase open at 9, with some food venues opening between 10-11, the only late start I see is American Adventure having their first performance at 1130

Didn’t take long, what do we spam their emails with next?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Ahhhh! Looks like the empire struck back a little!

Good show

 

[HauntedPirate]

These additional times are acceptable, for the time being. They want to keep the movie IP accessible when the younger kids are awake, I get it. I still vehemently disagree with BatB being there to begin with, but this is progress.

See? Bob Iger is listening to guests!

 

[Horizons '83]

Good on them, I was ridiculous they even considered only showing this for 30 minutes (2 shows) a day.

Much better. I understand the hours ending at 8:45pm, probably the time of the last show before closing.

Indeed
