I feel you, I’m not a big USO fan. Im trying to justify paying for a one day ticket to see a 20 minute show lol. Though it does look awesome and I want to see it. I guess I could do other things while I’m there lol.

Even the fireworks don't help it beat WoC
And when Disney does fireworks on New Years Eve with WoC tech it blows everything out of the water haha.

I also noticed an issue with the viewing area. The actual show only takes up around 1/2 to 2/3rds of the viewing area they created. People lined the entire thing, but a large portion of them see very little and no TM's were directing people to fill in the areas with a good view. It almost looks like there was supposed to be an entire additional section of the show that was cut or hasn't been installed yet.

Shouldn't they be aiming the fireworks upward?

justify an AP? how about going to theme parks that "currently" have the most immerse theming in orlando and you dont have to wait 3 hours? jokes aside i have had both disney and universal passes and universals biggest strength is being able to just go visit...no fast pass no giant lines etc. compared to Disney its a breeze...truely refreshing to escape the sea of people in say the MK.

WWoHP would be the only areas that meet or exceed Disney's level of immersion. Literally everywhere else in the resort, immersion is several steps lower, if it's even a priority at all.

everywhere? nah almost everywhere sure but the port of entry is my favorite entrance of any park in orlando. hopefully they begin to leverage what they learned with potter.

Okay, I will no longer complain about this show.
Look at this. I know that park is all indoors. But still.

It's a pretty good show. It has flaws, like the clarity of the water screens from some angles, the choice of movies represented, and the fact that it's a long show that has already shown most of its hand within the first minute, but it's much better than their previous efforts. Is it a poor man's World of Color? Maybe, but it's much closer than I expected (I've seen both in person.)

It is scheduled through the end of August for now. And we know it won't play at Halloween Horror Nights.

I went on a busy night about 15 minutes ahead of time and had no issue getting a center spot. It seems that a lot of people don't realize that it is intended to be viewed from the one specific viewing area. Another issue is that the show itself does not fill up the entire viewing area, only about 1/2 to 2/3rds of it. It isn't exactly clear where the center of the show will be. For example, if you are directly across from the Ghiradeli sign, you are too far to the right. There are no signs to indicate anything, so unfortunately a lot of people end up waiting around in a spot with a bad view.

Are we anticipating it not playing on the non-HHN nights? (Is there a reason it wouldn't?)

It will not be run during HHN. Too many props around to let the people flow in and out. It would be a distraction to the Horrah!
Well we know it won’t run on HH nights, mostly October as they close at 5pm the whole month, but what about September? The hours for September seem all over the place though from closing at 9 some nights, 7 some nights, 6 some nights...

The hours are due to park buyouts and HHN. The show will run til HHN starts then the park closes to day guests at 5pm on those nights.
Not sure what you are looking for here, September 1st? Sure it will run, Sept. 7 Yes, it will run. After Sept 13 through Nov. 4 no, it will not run.
