Atmosphere entertainment definitely sets Disney apart from the rest. Along with meticulously maintained parks and cast members who provide impeccable service. Unfortunately on my three visits this years all are lacking.

It really is. Walking around SSR there was trash and things like old socks, I kid you not, right next the buildings and on some trails. In the parks there was very little street entertainment. The fact the parks are filled with these little Guest Experience tents to help people understand why they can't get on a ride should be indicative enough that their system doesn't work.

To be fair, all these GET tents were everywhere pre-closure and before Genie+. I remember during my 2019 trip at HS, I lined up at one to ask why I couldn't get another Fastpass due to the tier system (had to get 2 other F+ for some shows to be eligible for another attraction). However, they were kind enough to give me one anyways and avoid that requirement haha

I can’t imagine a fireworks show coming back to HS because of Star Wars cruiser hotel. I mean, the fireworks would definitely break the immersion. If there is any….
I totally miss the streetmosphere also in HS. Sure, it was canned corn, but always good for a watch. We always stopped.

They brought back Phantom Theatre as a show as well. We've already been twice this season and it's been wonderful to see the additions, paint refreshes, etc. They are also keeping their dance parties going, 100% bonus with a hyper kid.

Yep-I love that they actually have original ride conceit art and set models-like a museum there as well. Perfect blend of history, nostalgia and fresh ideas. Perfect for a 50th anniversary!

There is plenty of immersion, so much so that there is no windows, fireworks would not effect the hotel in any way.
They used to run both.

Bummer. Losing little mermaid makes me rethink if there's any reason to go to DHS with little kids.

There’s still plenty to do imo. You have Muppet Vision, Toy Story Mania, Cars show, Frozen show, Beauty and the Beast show and the Disney junior show. Park is still lacking in rides with no restrictions though like DAK.

So I guess Pandora is just going to continue to miss a huge chunk of her charm. Awesome.

The Pandora drummers became the Discovery River Drummers Flotilla and the flotillas score extremely high so there’s not much motivation to change that.

Disney doesn't want to pay equity actors. They want college program kids they can train to handle a 3 minute meet and greet. VofLM is a show that just needed a digital refresh for the film. Lasers are kind of cool b/c kids don't see those much since they AREN'T screens. The black-light puppets are awesome and seeing any live performing is my favorite. They've made FNTM a musical review with the royal historians of Arendelle...I mean, Gil and the tank gang.
Next week marks 1 full year since we've been to the parks after going every few months for the 4 years prior when we were APs. I miss it SO much, but I miss what was, not what is now. I'm with that earlier #MakeDisney2019again!

From a business standpoint of course it makes sense. And they are fun on the boats. The drums booming through the valley were beautiful though... They made the place feel truly lived in.

Ugh, really? I found their whole screaming spiel insufferable. Pandora definitely needs live entertainment, but I would welcome something much more lowkey.

Agree to disagree. Not everyone "feels the connection." I loved the sophistication of the show's original iteration. Was subtle and more romantic. I never stopped loving it though. Kids loved getting in there on the drums. I miss shouting and joining in and feeling like I'm a part of it. It's the only show that every really made me feel like that. Matsuriza's Aimee as the "Wild Child" character was the highlight. Her energy and enthusiasm was legendary... The "umph" of the show is why it worked though. Pandora is a VERY quiet and calming land. It brought moments of high energy to the area.

Is there really enough room back there for anything substantial?
