Hey fortuosity, we never said that they should use the Mark Twain--we just think that the PVC-pipe tugboat is a bit sad looking. Also, we never said that the newer movies should no be in there, but they were added very poorly--especially if you know the original soundtrack; the editing work is horrible.

The video would be better without the stupid comments from those running a so called "commentary". Why not leave Disney to do its job and let the kid come out in all of us!

[brodkin]

Because we can't let "Disney" do it's job. We are Disney Cast Members and we do make the magic on a regular basis.

To the people that uploaded this video, was that your first time watching MGM's version during that visit? If so, then it was kind of obvious that everything is completely different than the one in Disneyland's.

[brodkin]

Sorry for ignoring you, but I wasn't. My junk filter was blocking comment notifications. Anyway... To answer your question, the filming was the second time I had seen the show at WDW and the commentary was done over a watch of the video on a third time. BTW, note I never said that it should not be different--it's not good. That's the difference.

Its a fantastic show. You guys are never open to it, if you didnt have such a negative attitude, you would have gotten much more out of it. Its disney world, its not about being perfect, its about creating a magical environment for kids.

[brodkin]

Well, that is part of the point. It's Disney World and they are not perfect as a whole. Disneyland can be great for kids and near perfect at the same time.

The advantage of this show in Florida is you don't have to wait for hours to see the show. The doors open up an hour before, so you can take your time getting there. In California people start "camping out" along the rivers of America 4-5 hours ahead of time. That's insane.

But California's show is much better because it's at a much grander scale. They use the Columbia sailing ship and the Mark Twain as part of the show. It's great!

I like this one way better it uses more villains, it shows way more of the movies, and the stage is way better.

The wind was so powerful that some of the fireworks were off, including the final mickey goodbye spark, which was a disneyland kind of bang so we saw mickey go down...wow the wind plays a role

The best thing about the WDW one are the seats.Disneyland's is much better.They should do what was originaly planned in WDW&add scenes from live action movies.A Maelstrom from Pirates?The boulder from Inidana Jones?Or chimney sweep dance from Mary Poppins?I think they should keep a lot of the animated stuff,&cut some(I.E. the Pocahontas&Lion King scenes - they make no sense).Rumor has it they're getting rid of the Indiana Jones show there anyway, this would be a way to recycle the boulder&sets.

Umm welll, did you guys still enjoy the WDW one, bc that one was my fav, but i still love the disneyland one, but i also love the WDW one

[PrincessTinkForever]

I do think Fantasmic! is a good stage show to end the day, but I really like the one in Dinseyland more bacause they added Peter Pan with the pirate ship and the Mark Twain as the ending boat instead of Steemboat Willie. I loved how you guys added the commentary though, it was fun to watch!

[MrYetiWaffles]

its hard to hear the commentary

[Dgunner24]

oh and that was a response to twist58 about lion king

[Dgunner24]

about them amrk twain your right bc they would only build it for the show and in DL they had it just so you can go on it but then they htought about using it in fantasmic sheesh some ppl are so rude about the ending
