Tomorrowland Dance Party

[Chef Mickey]

There you go again with words like "abomination" and "ashamed." IT'S A FREAKING THEME PARK.

I'm married and would bet all my Disney shares she's better than yours.

Hate to tell you boss, Disney is a lot more to me than a theme park. Is that stupid? Maybe, but I'm man enough to admit it.

I love Disney and it goes deeper than a "just a theme park" for me.

Good one?

 

[Chef Mickey]

Good one?

Whatever you want to call it. You got personal. I played along.

The parks are about "having fun with your family" first and foremost. They're not a museum to thematic purity.

Well if that's the case, why not slap one of these right in front of Cinderella Castle? I mean, hey, it's fun, and kids are sure to enjoy riding this. To heck with this "theme" and "story" nonsense.

With all the Iphones with internet access in the hands of every other park goer, is a dance party really necessary? People are distracted enough, everyone has ADD. What happened to just being immersed in the experience? Do we need to reminded constantly that the outside world still exists?

Why don't they have a Fantasyland Dance Party on the stage by Pinocchio?

Why don't they have a Fantasyland Dance Party on the stage by Pinocchio?

Because Fantasyland is already a giant mass of humanity. If you're doing to drop a people-sponge some place, you're going to drop it in an area with small native crowds and no through traffic.

I'd like to do to that stage what I did to the guy in my profile pic...only not on a padded surface.

Maybe people don't need to be distracted, but they do really want to dance?

Is your problem with the dancing or with the modern music?

Since it's Tomorrowland, what if it was future music?

Appropriately enough, this event is called "Tomorrowland"

If you think Disney is "just a theme park" then I have some serious doubts about your fandom....

Was there a demand for dancing in the first place? Do people actually go into the Magic Kingdom with the intention of dancing? Sure, if music is playing, loud thumping techno music, very loud, to a crowd of theme park guests, I'm sure it will have a rhythmic effect on some people. But is it filling some void that existed previously? Is it adding more magic to the experience of Tomorrowland?

 

[TubaGeek]

That's not the question. I hate it too. It's not about like or hate. It's about being offended by its very existence that's where @Chef Mickey is going overboard.

Whether or not it fits the theme is a personal opinion. What gets me is that it drowns out the audio from CoP. That's the biggest of many issues, in my opinion.

Careful. I've seen people pick fights with stages before and it just kind of makes you look silly.

Damn stage didn't get up. Did it.

Damn stage didn't get up. Did it.

It got its revenge, though.

The dance party doesn't really bother me or my kids. We don't ride Cop and the music during people mover and astro orbiter we just ignore it. It doesn't effect us one way. We choose to go and have fun. We actually get a kick out of watch some adults trying to dance. Let's face it kids love the dance party and as long as kids are happy that's all that matters.

...and as long as kids are happy that's all that matters.

Regarding the fact that today's music is being played in Tomorrowland so it OBVIOUSLY doesn't make sense, I'd just like to point out that one of the most popular and best-selling albums of 2014 was the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, and that didn't have any songs more recent than the mid-80s. And to someone from the 80s, 2014 is Tomorrowland, so there you go.

It is currently in front of one of the most popular attractions in the park! (Space Mountain)

You know what would be a better 'people-sponge'? More attractions! I know, I know - if they build more attractions, more people will come. Guess what? More people are coming regardless - they need SOMEWHERE to put them. The fact that there are less attractions in the Magic Kingdom than 1994 is part of the problem.
