FWiW, my wife flew back into town this morning and ran into Mr. Mayhew waiting for his flight out! I don't know what's cooler, that she saw him or that she knew who he was!

I love the Little Shop of Horrors song playing! I loved that show! The movie was alright.

Anything for a buck or five (or ten)... :) I won't be back to the world for awhile but I've got to get my hands on that flavoring.. I can actually see it doing quite well during the Frozen events.

For what it's worth, I talked to a friend there and it's apparnetly staying throughout the summer under a different name so it can serve as a "Frozen" tie-in

This was not there the first weekend. If it was, I would have totally splurged on it! YUMMY BLUE!

I haven't spoke to any of the Mulch guys regarding this, but I wonder if we are getting the Icemen of the North back or if it will just be regular Mulch sets? It was OK for me either way as the costumes weren't outrageous and actually seemed pretty comfortable for the weather, and the song sets were almost identical with a few cool addtions ( No pun intended) such as The Immigrant Song, one of my favorites!!

Yes it will remain for Frozen

wannabeBelleJun 15, 2015

No inside information here, but I am betting it will stay up for the Frozen events, similar to last year. Marie

And now that SWW is over for the year....how long until the stage comes down? Or will it stay up for the Frozen Summer Fun?

Loved the fireworks. Great show. Great music and mostly from the original trilogy. Would have loved to hear some Duel of the Fates though. And I LOVE the backdrop of seeing the Chinese Theater in the back WITHOUT the BAH in the WAY!!!

Sorry if this was posted already, but 50s PrimeTime has a Blue Milk Milkshake and it's delicious.
