New Mickey and Minnie are in the show!
Great to hear but I also wonder why. They aren't using the new Mickey and Minnie for M&G's and parades yet, right? I mean, surely, no kid is really going to notice the difference but you'd think they premier the new looks for all versions of Mickey and Minnie at once.

They look the same to me.

Also, photos indicate Louis is not in the show.
Here's a comparison photo of Mickey

I'm hoping they would. That would only make sense to me. In Shanghai Mickey/Minnie have different gloves but MRFF the gloves were the old ones. So Im interested to see how they'll handle the switch. Will they keep Minnie in her old M&G dress for now with the new face or completely switch her over. Time and photos will tell...

Louis will probably be back within a week or two as will Tic Tock (if it's true that he was taken out of the parade due to the incident) and if it takes longer than that, I don't see the big deal.

Well....I'm SOLD!!!!!! MK HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!!! Yes, no Louis but I think they must of reworked the PATF segment because it doesn't look there's a big hole in there(Thank goodness!) Streaming Disney did say that Louis had lines in the show. Who knows if that's true or not

I know Facebook and Periscope doesn't have the best quality but i think i saw more lights on the Stage during Let It Go. and with the new pyro(more than what DAWM had), They really should do a couple performances at night! Hopefully Frozen Holiday Wish will stay and MRFF will work around that.

Wow wow wow!! I'm blown away! I don't know who is now in charge of entertainment at MK, but I want to shake their hand tbh. Huge step up from DAWM in literally every aspect. Beautiful costume, choreography, music, nice message (be yourself) and some neat special effect. Will definitely be watching a few more performances today! A+
And now the music is stuck in my head.

Very nice. Frankly I like DAWM better, though, with Peter Pan and the Pirates, plus that show's ending was better, when fireworks shot out of the castle at the end - the kind that shoot up with gold sparks and then crackle and fade. That was outstanding. But this show does have a wonderful, lively beginning - the dancing with Tiana and Company was great. The Elsa/Anna/Olaf bit was kinda meh, though, as was the Rapunzel scene. Overall, this new show is nice, but IMO, not as good as DAWM.

As an aside, those articulated heads are amazing. They add so much. Very well done.

I think MKs entertainment team did an amazing job aesthetically, the costumes, and stage decorations were spectacular. Personally I feel this show is lacking the magic/charm that DAWM had. I also really miss the lift :( Another thing I thought was strange is that all of the princesses had new vocals, but Olaf seemed like it was reused phrases just meshed together. Also did Daisy get a new voice actress because I don't remember her sounding like that?

Personally I love this a lot more than DAWM. Well done to entertainment! A big step up.
While I still don't like the arches remaining and would like them to keep the Main Street Vehicles as they have been during the hiatus, I agree. For the longest time, DAWM made the whole castle show idea feel stale. This show, even in its temporarily altered form, gives it a fresh and fun feeling that hasn't been felt in many years. Here's to keeping all of its shows fresh for years to come.
