I wonder if this will get lower guest satisfaction than Epcot forever? And if that will convince him that's something he needs to be different. I don't think I can get rid of night time spectaculars at Epcot because of the food vendors, and they know that they can get good revenue from the cruises and such. Maybe they'll realize it's just not a great show and come up with something new in the not so distant future, or at least a significant retooling.
He will blame the team behind it. And honestly, the legitimate complaints are from people who already accepted the IP integration. It can stay and they can clean up the story and reorganize if they choose.

I don't loooooovee the Tree of Light, but I think Cinderella's Castle really looks stunning.
I bet the tree looks better when the “firefly” lasers aren’t distorted by the video quality. I think the fireflies are the kicker. Wish they were live fiber-optic elements like on SSE, though.

Really like that they took instrumental arrangements from Rivers of Light and Wishes and had them play the new song, and used announcers reminiscent of those shows to do the intro. I imagine that the DHS one will riff on GMR’s soundtrack and use a voice similar to Fantasmic Lady.

I love the idea of the Tower projections but gosh, it’s sad to think that all these people died! It feels like the bittersweet end of The Shining, or Titanic.

EDIT: Okay, only five people went to the “Twilight Zone” and the rest ran out of the hotel’s stairs, presumably, so nobody “died”. But still.

I think this is a really cool time travel moment. Love the people in the windows.

I appreciate the synergy between the four Beacons. This particular team did a great job.

The attention to detail in the Hollywood Tower Hotel is really stunning. I love all of the people in the windows. 3/4 ain't bad, and this absolutely gives me hope that the Tree of Life will look far superior in person.

I hope with the new exterior projections comes fixes to the ride show effects. Right now it is a big mess, especially the speakers and projectors being set too bright. I really hope what we saw the past month isn't what we are going to be stuck with for 18th months.

Love the Fantasmic! reference!

All the Beacons of Magic are really well done overall.
I really like “The Most Magical Place on Earth” jingle they all have. Harmonizes well with the (original?) music.

Yeah, so "You Are the Magic" is a banger.

I really love the music that comes with each of the lighting shows. I do wish that they used Sing, Sing, Sing in the Tower of Terror's lighting ceremony, like how they used the Spaceship Earth theme to start out the show at EPCOT.
