SAw on twitter today that Friendship Farie starts in June. Has our insuders head the same thing?

With DAWM ending this Saturday, June seems a little too far out to me. Hopefully it opens before Shanghai does!

Could this be considered a cut or do they need all this time to get ready?

Well auditions are still going on for a few more weeks for dancers and whatnot. Then a few weeks to rehearse it and whatnot. I wouldn't say it's a cut but maybe poor planning.

The current directive is to minimize expenses, and particularly labor. So any reduction in shows is currently welcomed by management.

And DAWM just wrapped. Now we wait...
And what a wrap it was!!!!!!!!!! Please correct me but I think this was the only show of the day due to weather. I know they started the day with the rain version. Only the finale but still counts.

THANK YOU MK for DAWM!!!! Best show since before Walt's 100th birthday! It was STUNNING at night esp. with the Castle Dream Lights Strobes(Thanks to Frozen Holiday Wish for that!)

On to Friendship Farie!!!!!!! Hopefully we'll see some work on the stage soon and won't have to wait too long!

So sad to see it go, but I can't wait to see Mickey'sRoyal Friendship Faire on youtube. And I can't wait to see the articulated version of that adorable gator, Louis.

While it's sad to see final performances...the energy around the performers and the crowd is awesome to see or even better experience. I had the pleasure of being at the end of the AK Jammin Jungle parade and there were a lot of tears from performers and fans. So many hours, performances, and hearts and souls put into these shows.
I remember seeing videos of the final showing of Jammin Jungle at AK and the entire parade would stop at certain moments and have guests clap along at certain moments of the music heard in the parade.

Absolutely right!! I think my favorite moment from yesterday's last show was when everyone started singing "Any dream is possible, wishes do come true...." Definitely one of those moments of true Disney magic :) I might have even teared up a little ;)
The release of the Balloons at the end was something! Whether it was just some guests doing it or it was planned(Which I kind of hope it was because it would show that Disney hasn't lost their history!) It was a nice nod to MK's past Castle Shows that are a LOT older than DAWM! Would be nice to see those return in some way for MRFF! Doves would be nicer. SeaWorld does it for O Wondrous Night, inside even! I still can't figure out how that works! (Never saw it in person, only saw it on YT)

OK, I changed my mind! After watching different videos from yesterday, the Balloon release wasn't something. IT WAS STUNNING!!!!!!! Man, I hope that was planned! BY TDO!!!!!!

I didn't know that happened.
