New MK welcome show debuts Jan. 9th

[itsgonnahappen]

I feel like what made the old Welcome Show enjoyable was the inclusion of the Trolley Show kids and the more upbeat music. This kinda drags, and that's saying something for a show that is, at most, 5 minutes. I hope to see some improvements made to this version of the Welcome Show.

I will miss the trolley song but overall, I like this change. The show is cute, I like the Walt quotes, I love that you can enter Main St prior to opening, and the show made me wish I was there I think it's a fun start to the day.

Well, I guess it does alleviate the overcrowding at the entrance because other then that.....meh

Well the pacing is a bit all over the place and you can't beat a a full size steam train rolling into the station for its kinetics but there's definitely some good stuff in there - always happy to see reliance on classic characters instead of new ones and to see other parts of the castle used than just the stage.

Not the best thing I've ever seen but it'll do. At least they kept down the cheeseiness/childish factor.

Not bad. It's between Good and Great. Just like Bell, BAM!, the new regular pyro finale of MRFF and OUAT. IDK if I like this pattern....HOPEFULLY ROL will change that! Some GOOD MK News would be good also!

I'm also wondering if OSHA(or some other company that handles this) got to WDW with the old show. I'm guessing they weren't to keen on the trolley dancers dancing in front a moving train, I know the moves during Casey Jr/Zip were downgraded 1-3 years ago. Too bad, since that was the most exciting part!

How very forgettable.

It's not the same as seeing the characters show up on a the trolley.

Well that was a let down.

They should have kept the "Good Morning" song.

Don't care for the guy reading the scroll. "Hear ye, hear ye" - how overdone is that?

When is a guy reading a scroll ever exciting?

As others have said, I'll miss the old show. But I thought the new show was cute (other than that introductory voice - they need to fix that asap!).

I liked how there was Elena and Rapunzel in that new show, the biggest surprise is Cinderella herself didn't appear, so she must had gotten ready for her PFTH appearance.

 

[Clamman73]

No First Family or counting down to open...blah.

Here is the new show

VIDEO - 'Let the Magic Begin' Welcome Show debuts at the Magic Kingdom

This is a good show; however, this is no different than the other stage shows they have done. And this reminds me of Cinderella's Holiday Wish (minus the lights and much better than the frozen crap they do now). I am sure the accountants are adding up how much money was spent in the morning lol

That almost sounded like a bad voiceover. It sounded like a school intercom system lol

 

[Pumbaa1222]

What an epic let down.

 

[wdwfan757]

Can anyone comment on the logistics? Easier to get to popular attractions or harder? For whatever reason, I felt like the "let you in" style is helpful at DHS where the crowd really splits in opposite directions and kind of hurts at Epcot where I just end up in a soarin' herd.

 

[Andrew C]

What an epic let down.

epic letdown? ehh...not really.

The LM attraction in NFL was an epic letdown. Disco yeti is an epic letdown. Not having RoL opened yet is an epic letdown...

This...ehh...I guess they could do better. But I always thought the opening show was a bit overrated anyways...

I've never seen the old show, so forgive me if this has always happened, but is there a certain reason why its ONLY princesses (or princess-like, Mary Poppins, Alice etc...)?
