I'm still confused. You point out some people don't go eat at those places because there's a show, and I get that. But Restaurante Della Piazza does have two dining decks outside the show venue, so that wouldn't be much of an excuse for people who want to eat there. Coming from a person who has watched shows at each venue countless times I'm 99% certain that shows do make a difference in attendance.

I get to most shows very early, and at both the Festhaus and Il Teatro, it's pretty quiet until slowly people start coming with their food from the lines and start eating until, eventually it is multiple times as crowded as it was before. Most of the time when I went by Il Teatro during HOS and the beginning of the season this year I could count the number of groups eating there on my two hands. Every show-time I'm very observant of attendance, and it is usually packed at both the Festhaus and Il Teatro, and once the show is over people filter out until the process repeats itself. This is from many observations and I think you'll find many other show-goers in here will agree they see the same scenario.

So, if your observations are representative of what actually happens daily at the park, there is evidence that it is likely that people who like shows also like to eat and watch a performance.

What we cannot determine from the data we have is what percentage of the total number of people in the park go to shows. Just because the Festhaus is crowded at lunch, does not mean that a majority of park guests are there for the shows.

I actually preferred last year's performance. I love the music aspect of the show, but last night there was something odd about the choreography. I'd still see it again but it's not the same for me. I can't really explain it.
 
Oh, by the way. Some singing cues have been changed in the show over the week. It seems more soloing has been added, and Beatrix(girl in the white dress) is now belting "the power" in the last song. She pretty much carries all the stand-out vocalizing in the last song now, other than the final lyrics "..of you and I.."

I pointed out in another thread that it seems that Ristorante Della Piazza will be closed for Christmas Town this year.

Considering the park is debuting a new ice show this year, and the restaurant directly next to Il Teatro di San Marco is going to be closed, most likely due to renovations, this Christmas Town. It just seems that since Miracles barely survived the last two seasons without being cut, it would finally be the year this year where it did get cut. Last year, when at first it was going to be cut, it was removed from the site in July, before later being resurrected from the chopping block in September. Well as of right now, Miracles is still fully displayed on the Christmas Town site. Could it be surviving yet another season this year? And how are they going to set up Il Teatro now that most of it's seating area(dining tables) won't be able to be utilized during this Christmas Town.

Could Christmas Town really have a total of five stage shows this season?
 
No more bouncing to a majestic score with robotic arm motions? Aww.

Seriously though, I forgave (and even embraced some of) the changes to Night Beats, but Miracles was just sad. I used to enjoy the show, but it was hard for me to watch it last year. It looked like an amateur dance recital for middle-schoolers.
Also, last year they got rid of the piano. The year before that had the performer pretending to play it.
I would rather have them end it now(or restore it completely), than to have its name smeared even more.
