I thought the list was good, it's things I tell people to check out otherwise also

I do want to mention, I wish they did an honorable mention that disney is trying something new with food kiosks in epcot this year. you can't really call something nobody has seen a hidden gem but honorable mention of something new to look forward too I think would have been a nice touch. Especially with a couple items being in epcot to add to your experience.

I am mixed on the singing group thought. It seems to sterile of an enviroment like your listening to a performance in a library to me. just something off with it. they sing well, there is just something missing and I can't put my finger on it.

I have to admit I agree with Oliver about the singers. Now, to be fair, I've only seen them at DL, and their voices were gorgeous-but so Lawrence Welk retro-white and over the top! I cringed

I have always been in the minority about the Voices, and I'm okay with that - not everything is for everybody, that's why there's such a huge selection, right?

I just watched the new drone show from Disney Springs - I was very skeptical, but I have to say - watching it online looked pretty impressive. Would love to hear from somebody who's seen it "live", once that happens.

I hate the Voices of Liberty and the American Adventure. It is a little too jingoistic for my taste.

Hi Tonyz - so jingoistic means "extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or warlike foreign policy", as you know since it's the word you selected.

Could you point out some examples of lyrics supporting an aggressive or warlike foreign policy that they sang?

Maybe you don't like "trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored"?

Reel it back... just joking around. Playing off the fact that Oliver and Steve don't like them.

I had to like if only because i so seldom see jingoistic.

Thanks for clarifying. Its very difficult for the rest of us to understand tone from a simple post. Perhaps adding an emoticon the next time will help.

Oliver is entitled to his opinion, but his giggly criticism makes me think he was just too cool to sit through the whole thing. The Voices of Liberty perform many folk songs which are not patriotic, as well as songs like Gershwin's "Summertime." Thankfully, however, Pete brought some professionalism back into the discussion.

Well - I am not at all "too cool" OR "giggly", and have served, if that proves the point at all. And I will reiterate/repost my post above, that they just are not my personal cup of tea, talented as I grant you, they are. Not all things are for all people, but glad you enjoy them!

The candlelight processional is by far my favorite thing at Disney by a mile....so in order to go, you gotta pay the price for the dinner package...on two occasions we would walk over til right before the show and jumped in the end of the stand-by line and got a seat both times....however i would never wait in that line....I also have watched it standing in the back and have had a great time as well

I have alsodone the christmas taping for the parade...and it is simply AWFUL!!!!.....anyone saying they enjoyed it is convincing themselves of something they do not truly believe
