Please oh please don't make the "Magic Kingdom Mistake" on crowd flow after the show.

Everyone will have to funnel out past that one section in front of the exit to A Bug's Life and over the one bridge from the Oasis to everything else.

They could fix this easily: Put a path in along the river from DinoLand to the Oasis, avoiding Both bridges and that congested area.

Then the exit pattern has 2 paths, one thru Asia and the congested area, and another from DinoLand straight to Oasis where you could split into the two paths of the Oasis.

does anyone know when next week? We are planning our AK day for next Friday and wondering if it would make a difference to move it earlier in the week. Or is that just a null point?

I wonder what the capacity of this will be.

I suspect that it will be similar to World of Color - with the only way to get a good front view will be through fast pass or paid for (aka "dining packages").

Crowds should be low enough that even if they close down some paths by half to make room for the walls it should be OK for getting around.

I know, I am just more concerned with touring a park that has even more walls up and more of the magic being lost with your surroundings. I know that they already have walls surrounding the Tree and Bugs Life and wondering if we can get there before they close off more areas. For me it's more about the scenery than getting around

Some people say that the show will be perfectly visible from most perspectives around the lagoon, ala IllumiNations. I guess it will depend mostly on whether they use mist screens or not WOC doesn't enjoy that advantage.

Fair enough. There's a LOT of walls up at AK right now.

I can vision it now, a vista of partitions with panoramic landscapes with oversized pillars featuring ornate animal carvings.

Hmmm, been debating about a Feb 2016 vs April 2016 trip. Looks like April 2016 just pulled ahead!
