I’ve told this story before, but all my stories are interesting, so it’s worth a re-telling.
I saw HEA for the first time on the first night of my first visit to WDW. I booked the Plaza Gardens dessert party. I stood at the railing at the back, as instructed by the experts.
Just as it began some girl started dancing to the music. Not on the spot. No. She danced to the left and to the right, constantly crossing my field of view. It was wildly distracting and irritating and I really wanted to say something to her. But all I could think was that you cannot tell a child to stop dancing at Disney World. You just can’t.
Thank you! Although you can’t help it if you are tall. What I am saying is that if you feel it’s necessary to put your 9-year-old up on your shoulders because “she deserves the best view possible”, at least find a spot off to the side! But no, they consistently stand right smack in the middle of Main Street, not caring who is behind them. We stake out our position about an hour ahead of time, and it never fails… 2 minutes before the show starts, up goes the kid.
The ONE time we saw HEA we ended up sort-of in front of someone in a wheel chair. Together, the crowd-control-lightsaber-wielding-cm, my DH and I teamed up to make sure that we kept a small piece of the space just to the right of the tape-lined walkway clear to ensure that this person could see the castle once HEA had started.
No fewer than FIVE separate people tried to sneak into the space and stand right in front of the poor woman during HEA and we kicked them all out. It was infuriating because it was completely obvious that by moving into the space you would block the woman’s view and that the space had been left intentionally.
So, you cannot tell a child to stop dancing, but you sure as heck can tell an entitled adult to keep on walking to let the person that has been waiting for 45 minutes watch the show.
I’m not sure it is the blue color, but I do think the new outfits seem off somehow. Like…it looks like a (human) guy dressed up who plopped a Mickey head on top. Okay, I get that’s all Mickey EVER is…but there is something particularly disjointed with this outfit compared to others I’ve seen.
Yes. I just looked at it and that’s exactly what it is. The cut of the clothes is a bit slimmer, the jacket is shorter, and the Mickey head is actually smaller I think. I’m not sure if it’s just a POV thing or what. None of the other characters seem off like Mickey does.
I reeeeaaaalllly hope this isn’t our big announcement for today. I mean, I guess it is a “big announcement,” but it’s not one I’m excited about. Please announce the return of FPs or dessert parties or AH events. Please!!
Here’s my issue with Harmonious. Wind. The moment it is windy it’s going to be a mess. Even without the wind it looks like a mess in the concept art! But when it’s windy aside from water blowing everywhere whatever patterns they’re going for, water curtains, etc will just be a mess. I would love to know who thought this thing (especially the permanent barges in the lagoon) was a good idea.
I think I’m so traumatized by the very mention of those things that I completely glossed over that pic. Now that I see it I still effing hate it. I don’t care how many nostalgic songs they throw in there I am just not going to like that show.
