Get rid of the logo and the day video mode is actually a decent improvement over the black imposing screens. If this runs with the clearly underwhelming fountains it may end up a better result than I feared.

Don’t you think it takes away from the show tho not to mention spoil the effects? By the end of the day it will be like, oh look it’s the screens again.

It's possible however when you look at the sides when they are blank it clearly is textured like a video screen so I don't think it'd be spoiler. You can even use them to display digital art from international artists. When the arms are up there is a it of a sculptural element to them you could play off of. I'm honestly just trying to think of ways to make lemonade out of these very large lemons here.

Do I still hate that these monstrosities are sitting in a beautiful lagoon? Yes.
But do I think this is an improvement over huge black voids? Yes.

It seems pretty obvious the daytime fountain display was a fail and this had to be made to supplement them but I think it's better than so so fountains that pretend to act like the barges arent there as opposed to this which feels like they're embracing what they're working with.

I had to “laugh” because water on video screens is not the same as water fountains. Yes, I saw those tests.

You think they wouldn’t wait to build things to see if they work or not, they should at least have water cascade under the screens to hide that park.

These really have been the nail in my coffin. Finally an official "former" Disney World fan. As a local, I'm at Universal once every week or two now. I literally have no intent of going to Disney property at all. Not saying that for anyone else. Rather that voting with your wallet finally got me, as it just makes me sad to be on Property any more. (Which really sucks - but is the choice the Bob$ have made for their company.)

So this is tangentially related, but I just watched the YouTube video of Epcot Forever for the first time and wow... what a craptacular mess that show was. Good riddance, I'm not sorry I never saw it.

It would have been more impactful if they just played "The Music Of Disneyland, Walt Disney World And Epcot Center" starting on Track 17.

We must, of course, view that through the lens of already knowing the show’s premise. If we are still upset about that, we are wearing blinders. The show is staying regardless. Might as well let ourselves enjoy it in spite of ourselves. This was how I approached GotG: MB.

FWIW he also said he feels Enchantment is more a lateral move than upgrade. We will see.

I didn't expect enchantment to be a huge upgrade in the first place. How are you going to beat HEA?

Hint: You can't😂
