Probably part of the cuts. They still do dance parties during the night though before the fireworks. My sister had a blast when we were there in January.

No dance parties right now, I believe they stopped a few weeks ago.

That's probably because they took the stage down but it's going back up so maybe they'll start again.

The stage work probably has something to do with it. I'm no engineer but it looked pretty complete to me by this point.

Based on what I have seen over the past year, the dance parties are really something that only happen during a busy season rather than an ongoing offering, no matter the stage situation

Closing ToT? First I'm hearing of this...Source? Just curious. I'm guessing I missed it.

ETA: Just read @rteetz post on the Marvel thread. Interesting. Also, thanks! The was my face when I read that. Like, seriously? It's already crappy food for the most part! Disney has lost their frickin minds. It's excellent that they just doubled the amount they are donating to Make A Wish from 1 million to 2 million, because it's a great cause, but then I see crap like this and it just reinforces my decision not to renew my passes at the end of the year. Like @lockedoutlogic says, talk with your wallet.

That extra million is also tax deductible and nets them a bunch of free press. Call my a cynic but I'm not so impressed by the donation.

No dates announced yet. Mainly you can just assume the 7pm closes are for parties.
