Little birdie flying around during testing says the Pocahontas segment is in the show still.

Granted, any reports of the new show sequence did mention Pocahontas in the list of characters. The big question is how much of her original sequence is still there, since if it's pretty much the same...hooooooo boy.

Nov 3 return. Show is three minutes longer which might explain the stuff I heard.

YEEEESSSS! I’ll be there starting 11/10!

I was hoping Moana would be worked in somewhere

It will be interesting to see how this affects the crowd patterns for DHS. Without Fantasmic, it seemed like DHS was very crowded early in the day and mid afternoon, but not so much in the evening. Perhaps the
crowd will be be spread out now.

One of my fav night time theme park shows. Great to see new tech and new scene updates debuting. I'll be at WDW for ten days in April and I'll try to catch the show at least twice. :thumbsup:

They will probably Lightning Lane you with it.

Ah so Moana *is* in it!

Love it

They don't sell that many Lightening Lanes.

I dig it.

They could have cut the whale and Mickey drowning part before it

That transition is a little clunky

Otherwise I like this

Never been happier to be wrong. Additions look fantastic.

Always loved the show. But it was getting a little tattered around the edges. Sure looks like they've restored, and went beyond, the glory days. When it's right, this is my fav Orlando night show.

New Segment looks great, an improvement from what was there before

 

[Nick]

I like the whole new segment, my only gripe is that with the show being down so long, would it have killed them to finally replace the old puppet dragon and give us the cool dragon that Disneyland has? I mean, even if we got that upgrade, Disneyland still would've had the entire pirate segment on us (which there's really nothing they can do about here), but at least it would be as close to a full and up to speed for 2022 upgrade as the show can get. It just feels like they stopped halfway.

If this was 2016 we'd have a Star Wars segment

100%. Glad we avoided that mess.
