I can only observe the time i was in the parks, 20-24th March. Lots of hoarding up spoiling the magic, no trying to disguse the works they are doing.. Big thunder mountain, pirates of the caribbean closed numerious smaller profile rides closed. Space mountain broke down for an hour, crushes coast broke down. No music on the travelators taking you to the park until Saturday.
A lot less in the way of activities since when we first went to DLP. I see that they have put on extra shows and parades this week but as a paying guest i feel very disappointed for what i got for my money this time around. They appeared to held back lots of shows and events to get ready for the 20th launch. So as a paying guest i dont feel i received value for money and will not be repeating our trip for some time. As we have only ever done Florida or Paris then in my view there is only one magical park and DLP can learn a lot from how they do it in florida. This wasnt just my view it was the view from a number of us, we went as a party of 3 families. Its all very well putting lots of effort into the 20th launch but they need to be consistent with the effort put in for other guests at other times of the year or they will loose repeat business.

Zorber - the closures were known about months ago - it was because so much is being done for the celebrations. It's why we chose to go in May this year.
Same thing is happening with WDW and Fantasyland.

Sounds like you had a fantastic time. Just came across another version of the show which has an extra 3-4 minutes at the end not seen in earlier versions:
Hope they release a CD of all of the 20th celebration music. With all of the new merchandise coming out in the shops did you see if they had a new CD yet? It would seem silly if they didn't do this.

Sounds like you arrived for the party a week or so too early. A great deal of effort and work has gone in to getting ready for the 20th and as Gill said the work needed to get things ready has been extremely well documented so I'd have expected hoarding etc during the time you were there. The same has been going on in Florida for some months now so I don't see how DLP could have done anything different. To make upgrades etc you need to actually do the work which leads to disruption. Sorry to hear you didn't have a great time and looking at all of the upgrades now rolling out with lots more to come I hope this hasn't put you off DLP in the future.
All of the Disney parks are different which is the whole point and expecting Florida in France or say France in Tokyo etc is an unreasonable expectation and expecting each park to simply copy Florida wouldn't be sensible. Personally we love Florida but we also love DLP because they are different. They all have Disney magic and they all echo their local culture as well as the new Dreams show well demonstrates.

When went to WDW Fantasyland had great big boards up. Yes it is not the best way to see it. I would give it another chance now the celebrations have started.

apologies if this has been asked and answered numerous times - but, is this show on all year? (specifically july 1st?) I ask as, for our last 3 disney trips we have only managed to see fireworks once as we tend to go the week before they gear up for the 'summer' season. however this year seems to be a little different for the 20th celebration - is this correct?
