Thanks!

Any hope for MOUACT Toy Solder Band?

I don't know anything official but I'd be shocked to see this come back. They haven't brought it back since COVID and I just can't see them spending the extra money at this point.

Solid list this year. Legitimately I actually recognize every name on this list.

I really tried to enjoy this several times, and quite honestly it's been dreadful every time. I don't understand why they keep bringing this back. I never see it really draw any significant crowd, usually just a small handful of people which any of the storytellers around the world are capable of doing just by themselves. So this seems like a lot of performers and effort to get the very same crowd that a single storyteller can get.

At least it's not front center blocking the view of the lagoon this year .

That's a good move.

Their problem is that the singers aren't good at singing. Doesn't matter if their songs are about faith or just secular... you still need to sing well to perform well. And they don't.

Disney would do better to create their own gospel choir.

100% agree.
To me, screaming loudly is not singing.

Has joyful gotten worse over the years?
Idk, I've heard them (how can you not?, lol) every December since they started, all I know is I've never enjoyed any of their performances.

If I learned anything as a Catholic schoolboy, it’s that you need not be able to sing when singing to the Lord.

The Choir in Mass sounded like the nuns in the beginning of Sister Act. I’m imagining this group sounding similar. “Alma, check the battery!”

I do like how Candlelight has been cleaned up in recent years.

this is something Disney has been doing lately across the board, not only with singing performances but area music in general, anyone walked by the Italy pavilion lately? I mean cmon. The blaring decimals, I don't get what they are trying to push.
