I really loved Celebrate the Season (mostly the opening number, but it's a great show), but it's time. It's past time, but it's time. I'm glad all the castle stage shows are getting long overdue refreshes.
With how well done the Hocus Pocus show was, I have hopes for this one, too (it would be a shame to get a lesser show than Celebrate the Season). And the Friendship Faire. Though they're starting to stretch it a bit on the naming of these things ...
With the change in shows (again, that are long overdue), is it also about saving on characters and performers? I'm curious to see if there's less, or more. It's nice that they're using the Pinocchio and Alice characters in this one. That's a pleasant surprise. Variety is nice, that's why I get on them about character meets. I'm not going to wait in line but there needs to be a variety ...
At least those paying the $20 increase in price of some of the tickets for the Christmas party will be getting a new castle show. I've enjoyed the holiday parties but when I could see the same show in 2006 that I can see in 2015, we have a problem. I noticed it was time for some updates. The parades are great and I don't want a complete change out, but it's time for some new floats and some updates. I know they swap characters and cut things (do they ever ADD anymore?), but the parades are overdue as well.
