Evening Shows

[SuperDisneyDad]

Which evening show do you think is the best on the 7-day magic, and what night is it performed??

Each is GREAT in their own way....I'd hate to miss any. However, they are particularly good with Disney Dreams...Thursday night. I took my 2 yr ds to this and it held his attention tightly.

It's common knowledge that Disney Dreams is the show not to miss. They even have an afternoon matinee of it presumably to handle crowds and so the little ones have a shot at staying awake through it. If you have kids who love the characters or an adult who loves disney, you'll love this one.

As far as the other shows, I enjoyed most of them. We saw the "welcome aboard variety show" and thought it was great. It featured some singing and dancing and two of the nighttime cabaret acts (one of whom we missed, disappointingly enough, and the other whom we saw, and he was great in his longer show).

The next show is Hercules the Muse-ica. My husand really didn't want to go to it but I did. Neither of us thought the movie was so great but I thought a live show would be fun. I still haven't heard the end of it... it was terrible and impossible to follow. OH well. Still, I'm sure some people like it so you might want to give it a try and see for yourself, but if I had to miss one this would be it.

The Morty the Magician show was also extremely entertaining. It combines some classic magic tricks with some neat stage effects and a really cute storyline.

Who wants to be a mouseketeer is also somewhat entertaining, but I would probably skip it next time. The fact that you have a chance of getting on the show and winning some money kept us there but we MUCH prefer the MGM version where you can really play along and it's your skill and speed in answering the questions that gets you in the hotseat and not luck. If I had to miss two this would be the second to go.

There's also a farewell variety show which I assume was similar to the welcome aboard one and I'm sorry to have missed because we were packing.

There was also a showing on our cruise of Monsters, Inc. Since we had already seen it in the theaters, we took this opportunity to enjoy more of the ship.

Hope that helps!

This is a difficult question, since everyone has their own tastes. Hercules was very good, much to my surprise. I would say it was just as good as Dreams. Both were large Disney productions with plenty of characters. Hercules also added great humor as well.

The farewell variety show was great, the kids really like that one. Comedy, juggling, etc.

"Who wants to be a Mouseketeer?" Well, you can guess what that's all about. If you enjoy the TV show and think it would be fun, then you'll have fun.

In short, I'm not a Broadway show type of guy, but I was pleasantly surpised and looked forward to the show each night.

Like everything, you can't please all the people all the time, but the Disney shows sure give it a good try.

We try not to miss any of the shows. The variety shows are fun--depends a lot on the entertainers who are booked--magicians and jugglers are very popular.

I love Hercules, and I am always amazed at the folks who don't seem to enjoy it. It is very broad humor. If you like the movies Aladdin and Emperor's New Groove, you will definitely enjoy this show. The musical talent is exceptional, too.

Whether you choose to enjoy the shows or find some other way to enjoy your evenings, I'm sure you'll have a great time.
