I agree with your comments about the redecoration of the train, Anthony, Why did they have to withdraw the train early for this "makeover" It looks like a group of us could have done it overnight!

It's not terrible, yet not particularly great, the interaction section fails to work and I can see it being cut back, or just dumped entirely as it seemed to be a Guest Flow nightmare.  The music is at least upbeat and the dancers give it their all, which is more than can be said for the rather painstakingly boring castle show.  However I fail to see what Wall-e has to do with this show  :roll: , and the train would have benefited from a slightly more, dare I say it, "modern" look to compliment the idea.  Personally I see this going down the route of our old favourites Alpha-bet-you-are and Dance time with Stitch. :lol:

Particularly with those costumes, it looks very "Tokyo Disneyland". I don't know, maybe that's what people come to Disneyland Paris for nowadays, but I would have thought for the majority of European guests this just looks a little too kitsch and doesn't do the image of Disneyland much favours. Now visitors will be walking up Main Street and end up completely ignoring the beautifully Imagineered buildings on either side as they're distracted by this gaudy train blasting out pop songs at the end of the street.

If it was happening at Castle Stage or Backlot I'd completely forgive it. Cast doing a great job as always.

I'm even thinking now that they should have quickly redecorated the old High School Musical moving stage instead and brought that across to Disneyland Park. It would have looked much smarter. After about 5 different semi-redecorations this train is looking bizarre.

Nice to see you here by the way Patrick! ;)

It's not a bad show but as what many people are asking - What have Wall-E got to do with it?

The train has been in that state since Minnie's Party Train at least have a good and proper repaint and maybe roofs where dancers can climb up on the ladders and dance on the carriage roofs! Would of sound better.

I have mixed views on this show after watching the video. I agree with everyone else who has commented, they could have updated the train and what has Wall-E got to do with it?

I like the dancers though, they have so much energy. They kind of make the whole show for me.
Not 100% sure about the costumes either, is it just me or do they look like they have stepped out of some 80's pop video?   :?

There is certainly no doubting the energy of the dancers but the music and costumes made me think of Eurovision.

Well, having seen it live, it was not great at all. The kids were bored and so was I (and I love dance, as do they). We skipped it thereafter. Other than the photo locations, I do not like any of the offerings in this years' "celebration". A shame really.

As most of us know, the Disney Dance Express had it's last performance yesterday. Here's a video of it... I wasn't a particular fan, but the last minute of this video just shows how great the cast was, as they sing along to the transit music and wave off the train for what is very hopefully the last time.  :)

There was a little video about this on Disney Channel a few weeks back.

I think you were on to something Anthony  :P
In case anyone was or is interested, the "transit" music was nicked from a Tokyo Disneyland show:
