The show isn't that bad, but it does leave you wanting a lot more. I guess that's the cost for security. I rather have it than not.

I really wanted to give this a chance. My family would always make it a point to catch "The Welcome Show". It always brought tears to my eyes and just gave me such a feeling that I was in a magical place. This was so darn dull and uninspired. Nothing special at all. No warm and fuzzy feeling and no family of the day??? I missed the Trolley Singers and their lip synching. They could have done better. Hopefully they will improve it. Yeah, probably not.

They do not care about warm and fuzzy. They want you to go to starbucks and other places open to buy things.
This is definitely a downgrade from the train station show. And no family of the day?! I can't count how many times we tried to get to the MK early enough before the show and impress the right cast member in an attempt to get selected. I really hope that it isn't a permanent scratch.

I've been reading these boards for less than a year.. was there ever a time when a "change" was announced and the general population was happy with it?

Nothing exactly wrong with the new show, I'm glad they kept an opening show, but I miss the citizens of Main Street welcoming you and singing. It's lost it's charm, like a lot of things in the Magic Kingdom. Meh.
Why do people get bothered that some don't like the new show? It's just an opinion. If you like it, more power to you It's not "hating change just to hate change". I personally prefer the old show. Doesn't mean this one is "bad" though.

Setup makes perfect sense. The execution is lackluster.

I think that introductory voice was done live (hopefully for today only... maybe technical issues or something?)

Does anyone know if the Trolley Singers will still perform on Main Street USA? I understand why they had to move the welcome show and not complaining about that. My family will still show up early to MK because we are early risers anyway, but it won't be for early magic shopping. Maybe we will finally be able to read all the names on the windows without rushing past. Won't bother watching the stage show though. We will probably choose a land to go to first and just wait near the ropes.

Ok. I can understand your thoughts there. I just think it is absolutely necessary to have people inside the park, Losing the train entrance is sad for many I'm sure, but with the world we live in today I think it's a good compromise.
..and on a lighter note, I still would rather be standing on Main Street with a coffee or bagel in hand instead of standing coffeeless outside in a crowd.
Yes, first show at 9:15am

Agreed. I mostly travel off peak, but still noticed how much of a mess the train station was during opening. That was a disaster waiting to happen. It was a necessary move. I just wish it looked like they put any effort at all into the new show. Especially when the old one was such a fan favorite.Ok. I can understand your thoughts there.

Sums up many of my criticisms of recent changes actually. Taking the right action in the wrong way. The broader canvas of the castle stage could have been their excuse to plus the opening show. Make it even grander in scope. Instead they did the opposite.
