I haven't had the chance to see anything GWTS related at Disneyland/California Adventures, but always enjoyed the videos I saw online. I was very pleased to hear it was coming here to WDW.
I went to MNSSHP last night, and saw...well, honestly, maybe 20 hats on regular guests's heads during the party itself, and only 1 other hat in the hub area during Celebrate the Magic and Hallowishes. I was very surprised that there wasn't a little more hat action going on.
As I went to attractions for the remainder of the night, several CM's were VERY surprised I was wearing the hat, and even more surprised that the hats were active for both shows last night - because they were under the impression that GWTS was a one time thing this past Saturday night only.
Honestly, if only one CM had made that comment, I would have chalked it up to someone not paying attention. But several of them throughout the park made me feel like Disney didn't do a great job promoting this at all to their cast members. I wonder how long the shows will end up lasting if no one understands what they're actually for.
On the flip side, I've been hearing various reports about people NOT liking the GWTS hats...too flashy, too distracting. I had a friend at MK on Saturday night and apparently the people behind him did NOT like the glowing hat, and made several loud remarks about how distracting it was (the woman even made it a big point to put her hands up in the air to "cover" the glowing ears"). The husband then said that he'd kick my friend in the knees to make the hat fall off of his head, to which point my friend turned around and said that there were plenty of other spots to stand, the ears were staying.
Anyone else hear or see anything since these were launched at Fantasmic last week? Curious on your take.
