DHS?

They just announced that Philharmagic is going to DLP so maybe they'll just do a swop?

 

[Rteetz]

DHS?

Nothing specific said. That would make the most sense.

They also mentioned at the event that ratatouille is closing for a refurbishment due to an issue with the floor from initial construction.

MGM, baby, let's do this. (Also, could the Philharmagic theatre even hold a stage show of that level?)

I don't think it would go there. Mickey and the Magician is a stage show.

I’m calling Beauty and the Beast will close, Theatre of the Stars will be enclosed and the show will go there!

Btw with the swop I mean put Philharmagic in the Cinémagique theatre and the Magician in the Philharmagic theatre. That way they can keep the Magician in the Animagique theatre.

I only have vague memories of the Lion King thing that preceeded Philharmagic in MK. Were performers involved?

No, I know, I'm just responding to someone asking if it could.

A Marvel themed show is taking over Cinemagique.

Philharmagic is going in the Discoveryland Theater.

Man if the Magic Kingdom Theater project wasn't cancelled. That would had been a perfect show.

I think you may be right. They've been trying to get a revamped BatB in there for a couple years now. Alas, that went to the cruise ships. The plan throughout it all has been to enclose the theatre.....so.....

Philharmagic is going in the Discoveyrland Theater.

Having recently visited DLP, I can say for certain that Philharmagic does not in anyway belong in Discoveryland. It’s so well themed (minus Buzz being plopped down in there) this really is short sighted.

I have yet to visit DLP so I have not idea but that’s where they said it was going.

ow is taking over Cinemagique.

Only until September as far as I could tell and Philharmagic is slated for October. But apparently Discoveryland is deemed to be the better fit .

Philharmagic is going in the Discoveryland Theater.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

Agreed. It's terribly out of place!

And the Lion King show in Videopolis is such a great fit? As long as they don’t fuss with the facade, it’s tolerable.

Reminds me a lot of Disney’s Believe on the ships (I skimmed video of M&M on YouTube, I didn’t want to spoil seeing it live for first time).

I do not believe there is enough space both in depth of the stage, or wings for props and set pieces to move in and out. There are some pretty elaborate set pieces in that show. The likely options feel like the Hyperion at DHS, or swapping out Beauty & the Beast finally for this.
