They are suppose to be doing a similar thing in Disneyland, but the info I heard of the Disneyland version was a Meet and Greet-ish type event on the boat, not really a "show". Not sure what's going on in WDW though.

DL's is both a show and meet and greet. This is some info on the DL one, but might also be useful here.

The entertainment plan is to debut a 20 minute Mardi Gras style mini-parade and musical show called Tiana's Showboat Jubilee that will perform four or five times per day this November and December. The Showboat Jubilee will start as a procession of two dozen jazzy musicians, dancers and performers in the back alleys of New Orleans Square, marching and celebrating and encouraging people to parade along with them down to the riverfront. When the growing procession finally heads out of New Orleans Square and down towards the water, the Mark Twain will depart from its dock and steam towards the bend in the river in front of New Orleans Square.

On board the Mark Twain for each show will be 50 specially selected park visitors, no doubt picked by the roving scouts because they were wearing one of those "Celebrate" buttons that are de rigueur for any Disneyland visitor nowadays. Along with the hand selected tourist families hanging along the riverboat's railings pounding tambourines and waving flags will be Tiana herself, plus her prince and Louis the singing alligator and comic relief in the movie. The rowdy procession and the Mark Twain will both stop alongside each other at the river's edge, and a 7 minute musical show takes place that is predictably heavy on audience participation and dancing.
Once the show is over, the procession heads back into New Orleans Square and the Mark Twain blasts its whistle and steams on for the rest of its trip around the river. The 50 guests on the Mark Twain will then get a special meet n' greet time with Tiana and her characters while the Mark Twain makes its way back to the dock.

I think this is a positive move.

It seems to harken back to the days were Disney would promote a film in the parks before they knew it was going to be a flop or not.

The quiet "let's see how the box office is before we do anything" always showed a lack of confidence in their movie product.

ON the riverboat makes sense.

Indeed....Not LS, itself, though. If it's done tastefully it could be nice.
