Unfortunately, if you want that look back, you have to give up the nightly castle show and fireworks. And most people seem to want those to stay. Have you ever seen the stream of people heading into MK just for that reason at night? I have many times. Disney made those shows so popular that people wanted to see them all the time. Remember that back in '91 the evening parade was maybe once a week, the fireworks were not shown every night, and there was no castle show at all. People seem to want these shows every night, and this created an extreme crowd problem, and Disney's answer was to redo the hub to help with the congestion. People will say that if the other parks had more to do at night that it wouldn't be as crowded, and I say that they are wrong. MK will still be packed to the gills during the parade/show/fireworks. Since ROL will be opening later this year, we will have to see if that has any affect on it at all. I personally don't think it will.
