Shortened Frozen Holiday Wish?

[Eilynn]

Hi all,

I am at MK this evening. We watched the 6:15 castle lighting and were confused to see just a very short show with only Elsa. Once the lights were turned on she left the stage and most of the crowd remained because no one could believe that the show was actually finished.

We just overheard the full show with all the cast at 7:30. There was no rain at all earlier. Is this a normal occurrence or were we just unlucky? We were under the impression that both shows would be the same.

I'm here too and watched the 6:15 show, I didn't see/hear the layer show, but we were also a little confused as to why it was shortened??? We were too far away from the stage for it to really make any difference, but I did think it was strange?!

You were just unlucky. What you saw was a "contingency" show due to another main character being a no show, running late, becoming ill, or being stuck in traffic. When that happens, the show goes into an abbreviated mode until another trained character performer can make it to the show and fill-in.

It doesn't happen very often but when it does, Managers go into hyper-mode to find and get a replacement over to the venue as quickly as possible.

When it drizzled, there were no characters at all and just a recorded announcement.

They usually are the same but apparently some unforeseen incident made it impossible to present the full show.

When it drizzled, there were no characters at all and just a recorded announcement.

And, starting Dec. 31 (or Jan. 1,) that will likely be the case for the remainder of the evenings that they light the Castle Lights but offer no "ceremony."

Thanks for the info. We'll try to catch it tomorrow night when we're there, but if we don't it won't be a huge deal.
