At least at Epcot they won't criticize anyone coming from the countries or World Celebration you cannot stand here or be here like they do at Disney Spring's. Pour Around any way you like 🤭

The thing is like 9 minutes long… …the thing is like 9 minutes long Don’t make the piracy so “normal”, please?

Disney would be charging more than $120/person for a dessert party. I'd say that $25/person for guaranteed seating is more than fair. Whether you pay for food and drink is on you and that is separate.

I can maybe see $25 per table but $25 a person?!? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Or any nighttime show for that matter at AK. And we need drones that rise up for the “I See The Light” segments in HEA and Luminous!

I’m waiting for the sequel show, Disney Dreams that Roar to debut over the Asia Lake at AK.

Halloween show first. August is just right around the corner!!

A Christmas version perhaps?

ToTBellHopJun 11, 2024

I’m sure an extension is possible if it’s still popular by late summer or perhaps a Christmas return.
