Disney Enchantment Discussion & Reviews Thread (Premiering 9/30)

Really glad most everyone hates everything recently. Means there will be lower lines, supply and demand kicks in and those of us who enjoy life get some good deals.

This was amazing

Did you know that you can dislike things while still also liking other things at the same time??

 

[Kms943]

And is it just me, or were a lot of these same songs featured in Harmonious?

 

[Tonyz]

Sadly nope!

That is disgusting.

But honestly, as much as I love "Moana" (one of our fave Disney movies) and the Frozen movies, they dont make me think of Walt and his legacy. I mean, this is big--- its the 50th !! How about "Mary Poppins", "Cinderella", "Snow White", etc-- More classics.. (Um, and MICKEY!!). instead of the newer movies?
[/QUOTE]

YES! Mary Poppins would have been fantastic!!! So many wonderful classics missing!

I loved Wishes. I didn't care for HEA at first and now I adore it and wish I'd been able to see it in person one more time.

My first reaction to Enchanted...I seem to be on my own here but I loved it. The lyrics made me emotional straight away and I did feel there's a story there, just not as strong as the ones that have come before but definitely one that resonated with me. Some parts I felt were a little slow (but I felt the same about parts of both previous shows) but I LOVED the Frozen section. As soon as Into the Unknown kicked in, I knew it had me 100%.

I definitely cried. For me, that's when I know it worked.

This is really the best they can do for the 50th.?
Really disappointed. I can say it was better than Harmonious, but that's a really low bar.
Again, where is the story?
I adored Wishes! I really liked HEA. It had a cohesive story, great music, fireworks and projections.
I totally missed any story here, nearly no emotion. Great fireworks.
I didn't care for the music or most of the vocals. After the amazing projections of HEA, these seemed really lazy.
Will still see in person, but much like harmonious, looks to be a one and done.

This is just utterly absurd and disrespectful to the legacy of the man who started this and to the place that is being “celebrated”.

 

[JenboJambo]

It was better than harmoniUS but not as good as wishes or HEA. I wish it would have celebrated the park more (park attractions). This just celebrated the company (which is ok) but this is a park anniversary. The only thing that was hard to stomach was the narrator being overly dramatic. Glad there was no live action stuff. Very heavy on the fireworks (which were beautiful).

And there was like 5 seconds of Joe from Soul in there. I believe right before Beauty and the Beast.

 

[DisneyFansInNYC]

We were disappointed too. We were hoping it would be about celebrating Disney for 50 years and maybe ending with Walt speaking. We didn't get the theme - it felt disjointed.

Which is telling how long they worked on it, cuz didn't that come out this year? And it wasn't even all that good

Soul was there for about 3 seconds also

That was about as exciting as going to Target to shop for Disney merch. Just no excitement. The music sounded like the resort TV music.
Show never seemed to gain ground and take off. Excited I won't have to stand in the hub for 2 hours to watch it.
I'll probably be back here in a year saying how much I like it.
Disney doing a great job of lowering my expectations while doubling the cost of every trip.

 

[gharter]

Really glad most everyone hates everything recently. Means there will be lower lines,.

Watching the video, that was one of the things that stood out.
Around the hub, it looked crowded as expected. The shots they had from Main Street, it nearly looked empty. For the first night, I expected every inch of Main Street to be filled and the video didn't look like it at all.
They had talked about all of Main Street being used for this. Well a few projections down Main Street, I guess meets the criteria, but I was expecting more.

 

[Princess Merida]

It wasn’t bad there were parts I loved but it could have been way better. Why couldn’t Mickey narrate this show and the children’s choir sing for it? I really don’t know why they don’t always have a character of some sort narrating, but it’s the 50th it should be Mickey or a Walt sound alike! Ugh…Disney… WHY?!? And what happened to the Almost There song? Singers were good but the arrangement was a disaster. I just watched Wishes after and I’d really like to have fireworks back in the MK.

 

[Tonyz]

To celebrate the 50th anniversary there is a fireworks show that will take place right in front of the statue of Walt and Mickey… and not have a single reference to either one.

What are you doing, Disney? Seriously?

This was a media only after hours event. There were no paying guests in the park.

I'm blown away at how many people are saying Angela Bassett "didn't do it for me." It's Angela Freaking Bassett.
