Thanks. I would think they would have reimagined the xmas castle show by now... build some of it into the castle, especially into the high parts.
This hub looks really nice, WAY better than the last hub. Can't wait to hang around it without being surrounded by sweaty old dudes fighting to get a better view of the castle, that's how hate when to disney jail y'know?
Yeah, I never understood why that all can't just be permanent...I mean, it is March and they are still cleaning up from Christmas

I can't wait for them to be done with all of this so Magic Kingdom can start feeling a bit more magical.
They aren't cleaning up from xmas... the lights re long gone. What they are doing now is just a refurb of the Castle exterior while they have the crane out. It will be gone by the end of next week.
Then return in 3 months to prepare for the Xmas lights!
I keed.
Exactly haha...
Btw...Tim Tracker has a new vid of the hub...very nice for what it is (I find myself saying that a lot with Disney lately)
I visited the new hub yesterday and unless you've got a Fastpass+, that's still gonna happen. I went on a day where most of the rides were 10 minute waits and it still felt crowded even with the new hub area. It is aesthetically pleasing, though. Has the gathering for Wishes always been this mess of people with green sabers hollering and herding people like cattle? Really takes away from what's about to happen, IMO.

As many times as I've been to MK, and it has to be hundreds, I have NEVER seen the fireworks, NEVER. Is the best way for me to see them to get a reservation at California Grill and watch from there? Because the FP+ thing for fireworks won't happen for me. Any other good spots to see them? Not that I have a Disney visit planned, I don't, just thinking ahead.
Watch from the front of the park (along the edge of the lagoon), watch from the beach at the Polynesian, or from the TTC. The music is piped in to all of those locations so you get the full show without the crowds and hassle of everyone leaving at once and you don't have to camp out for hours to get a good location.

I like watching wishes from the poly b only after seeing it properly at MK. When you're in front of the castle it looks at though the fireworks are right above it but when you watch it from the poly you can tell that the fireworks are nowhere near the castle and it's just not the same.

So the hub wasn't great last week.
It was ok for me as I've been 40+ times but for my fiancee on her first visit I was sad.
Quite a few scrims still up, the whole middle bit with the "partners" statue is boarded and visibly under construction, It was far from ideal but the new bits they have done look great.
