This is in response to SureasLiz, somehow I messed up quoting!
I said this exact this to a friend earlier. Disney doesn't seem to care about keeping the magic alive anymore. They are willing to do anything for an extra buck.
I said the same thing to my husband last night after watching the live feed for Wishes and then watching the youtube video of the new fireworks. They were amazing and Wishes definitely paled in comparison.
Sending my thoughts and prayers for your DH, you and his medical team. Big hugs and I hope you get to plan a return WDW trip soon to celebrate DH being well again.
I heard that yesterday and watched a few minutes of a you tube video of the group coming. I do not find it entertaining at all. I much prefer a live band over people chopping up wood.
