Disneyland Shanghai's Ignite the Dream Finale.


Looks similar to Disney Dreams in Paris with some added pyro.

Strange that we don't have the full show yet. You can tell the show is limited as far as the pyrotechnics aspect goes. In my opinion the Disney Dreams' finale is more espectacular because of that. The pyro seems to have a wider range, but there's really not that much of it.

Another interesting little detail I've noticed is that whereas Paris or Tokyo's shows and rides seem to be usually very English-friendly (with many shows mixing both English and French, for example), Shanghai is really focusing on Chinese speakers. I wonder how they are dealing with the character interactions.

I believe it's been very Chinese only all over the park. The signs for attractions and restuarants do have English below the Chinese writing though.
 
not sure if you are keeping track of this here as well, but as of today they are listing Dessert Parties for the Star Wars fireworks every day starting June 17th (only though the end of June before) - as of yesterday it was only showing up for Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays - so looks like the new show will definitely be every night

I would be incredibly surprised if it wasn't every night.
 
A two hour wait for phone dining reservations (7:30 am) and the web site has crashed. Anyone know what is going on?

Did a new restaurant just open up? That's interesting. I was going to call (because my magic bands haven't shipped yet and we arrive in less than 2 weeks), I guess I'll wait until this afternoon.

Reservations opened for Tiffins this weekend. I had no problems making a reservation yesterday online. I'm not sure that would have caused all this excitement.

Also the dining packages for the Jungle Book (Rivers of Light wannabee) opened with a huge flurry of activity...system was slow and crashed several times, but I think it's settling down now...

You have Tiffins, and Star Wars reservations as well as rivers of light dining packages being the major things. Always expect things with Disney to take time.
 
This weekend was crazy with all of the additions of ADR's and FP+...however I was able to get everything I wanted after patience and persistence. Thanks again @rteetz for keeping us in the loop of rumored dates since January! Luckily everything will be open for my June 20th trip :)
