Does every show have to have characters and known Disney songs? Of course not - but it is Disney World - and they usually do a much better job of mixing in the classics and nostalgia with the creative.
This show feels like an Imagineering Intern's experiment with some water screens and a few boats that uses the same three or four effects over and over. And over again. (Checking my watch - oh look, water screens again. Big finale.... some fire. Can we at least hum along to something? Anything? Please?)
