I'll preface by saying I've seen Frozen twice. It was cute. I enjoyed it. I'm not crazed about it and really don't understand the hype. Also, I only have sons--11 and 13--who are not the least bit interested in anything remotely "girly". But I've been reading a little about the events at DHS and watched some things on YouTube. I have to admit I just don't get it.
The take along Olaf is a paper cutout on a stick. I guess it would be cool if your picture got chosen for the show. But in and of itself, eh.
Watched the "parade". It was a couple floats and a handful of CMs on roller skates. Seemed to last all of 5 minutes. And judging by the crowds along the way, I'm guessing people lined up for a long time beforehand! Hardly seems worth the effort.
Then there's Oaken's Post. Looks like some scenes where you can take pictures. Go ice skating if you want (added cost!). The "build a snowman" area looks small and not like much at all. Of course, there's also the line where you can join crowds of other people cramming in to buy more and more Frozen merchandise.
I know there's the sing-a-long. And maybe that's fine. My boys were never into that kind of thing, even when they were little, so no real interest there. And then, of course, fireworks---personally, I prefer Fantasmic!
So am I missing a Frozen gene somewhere? I just don't get the hype at all. Seems like nothing more than a thrown-together "package" in order for Disney to capitalize on the continued craze and rake in lots more money in a short amount of time. Which I don't blame them one bit--excellent business plan!
My only hope is that I can get on rides and see shows with less crowds in other parts of the park since everyone will be waiting around for this stuff!
Please tell me I'm not the only one feeling this way!
