That’s not coming back, sadly. Maybe the Wizard of Bras can make a comeback …

Their ops change, but lately they've been routing guests viewing fireworks from the hub through the Emporium via Casey's. If you were viewing the fireworks from Main Street (let's say from the Bakery) and wanted to make your way to Adventureland, you'd either have to go through the crowd heading down Main Street to the exit and into the hub (not fun) or head through the Tomorrowland > Fantasyland > Liberty Square and then Adventureland. Yes, ideally they'd improve the bypass a bit to improve guest flow. I think it makes a nice quiet area if they can add some seating.

One way to Town Square? IDK why MK can't keep the Party Bypass open more? It already looks nice there.

As someone who frequents the parks, the Emporium is a nightmare to get through during fireworks. Add in a parade, and it's total chaos. They've also changed ops recently to turn the Casey's Corner entrance by Crystal Palace as a one way into the emporium, so if you want to get to Adventureland from Main Street, you're forced through the hub now. Total chaos

It may not be the best setup but Inside the Emporium is passable during Parades. I've seen it enough on YT.

Ta dah!

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm hoping it's for. Not looking forward to those crowds. Ideally, we'd get a DLP-style arcade to compliment the bypass on the eastern side of MK.

They're going to have work on that with Starlight coming up in the summer.

Hoping the Emporium finds a way to improve guest flow between each section.

I miss the days when Disney had different stores selling different things on Main Street, Even things like the Wizard of Bread and other obviously sponsored stores...

They better not ruin it like they did to the confectionery
