That’s new is it not?
Yes it is.

I know I'm anti-Halloween so I'm biased but starting 3 months early is crazy. Christmas at WDW doesn't even last this long.
The transitions are really bad. At one point it just flashes over to the next scene.I had such high expectations for this new fireworks show. The projections are a crutch for lack luster story and soundtrack, and even they fall flat about one third in. The pyros were good not great, I just don’t care for the long gaps between story transitions.
Interesting that they're serving some drinks with blue curacao during MNSSHP. First time I think they've done a coctail during a party at MK if I remember correctly.
Curacao aside, is there any hooch at the party?
I feel your pain, for me Christmas shows up in stores way too early. Disney by virtue of having the Halloween parties which can't by definition end before October 31 is the ONLY place you can go without being bombarded by Christmas before November. I found Christmas decorations in Target in September last year. Halloween is the only thing holding the line that keeps the Christmas season from starting in July. Unfortunately, there's no major holiday between Halloween and the 4th of July, so there's nothing to stop an early Halloween.
We often watch the castle shows and fireworks from over near TL, across the bridge. Should we move closer to the hub this time?My biggest critique falls back to what is the star of the show, projections or pyros? Pick one, when they both compete for attention, they both loose.
And unless you’re facing the castle you get a jumbled mess.
It's not just the holidays either, seasonal stuff gets rotated out WAY too quickly at retail stores...to the point where you have to shop for it a season early. Disney takes the Halloween thing to ridiculous levels though. The parties shouldn't start before September.It’s a big pet peeve of mine when people single out Christmas as if it’s the only holiday that gets exploited months early...
In reality, Christmas stuff is out the same amount of time as any other holiday, or if anything, a bit less.
Valentine’s Day stuff will show up in stores before Christmas Day. Easter stuff will show up immediately after, then Patriotic/Summer, and now Halloween shows up in July/August. Each Holiday/Season lasting 2-3 months.
Most big box stores like Target/Wal Mart and Party City (a store that makes most of its sales/profits during Halloween) hold off until early September for Halloween.
BTW: I’d really like to know which Target you saw Christmas stuff in September?!?! For years I’ve looked in Target for Christmas things to browse in October and there was literally nothing (outside of some Christmas scented candles) until first week of November.
I guess maybe it was meant to be a 18 minute show like HEA but got cut down to 12 mins, maybe that also explains the big amount of pyro that was used.
Wonder how long before they budget cut some of the fireworks...
Only at the $100/pp Cruella Party at Tony's Town Square.

My biggest quip with the fireworks show is them including very "happy" Disney songs in it. Like why are they playing someday my prince will come in a halloween show? They made this show way too child-ish.
Cause it does look like they used more pyro than HEA but that could be cause it's a shorter show ¯\_(ツ)_/¯What's your deal here?
The new Halloween fireworks show is a minute longer than the old.
They didn't cut back on HEA, so why are you sure that they'll cut back on this.
You're just making stuff up at this point in order to be critical in some way.
