We made it to the Doctor Strange: Defy the Dark Dimension show. And now that I think about it, we didn't manage to grab lunch. Because DS was absolutely distressed by how hungry he was. So while he and I stood in line at the really snazzy concessions stand for popcorn and beverages, DH went to grab him some pizza or a sandwich from the pool deck.
The performance was at the Walt Disney Theater on Deck 5. It was confusing because the maps and marketing mention Preludes Bar, but every time we were back there (which was frequently), it was just a photo opp area plus movie concessions. I'm not entirely sure how it would work as a bar. I liked its snazzy Deco look though.
I ordered DS a smoothie in a Marvel commemorative cup. It would help fill him up since he was hungry. While we were waiting, a CM appeared and asked DS if he would be willing to help her with something. He just looks at me so I say yes. So then she says "I'm stealing your child" and takes him away. We've done Trials of the Temple and I knew that this Dr. Strange thing was interactive, so I was expecting something like this. The drinks took a really long time (they had just opened for the day and were having trouble finding ingredients where they were supposed to be), giving me the opportunity to observe the same thing happening with additional families as they lined up for their own refreshments.
Smoothie finally in hand, I brought it to DS in the back row of the theater, along with a bunch of other kids, then went down to find a good seat. DH came in about the same time, clear on the other side of course, so I signaled to him where to bring DS his pizza. The theater never got close to full so we got some really good seats despite the delay. Once the show started, they brought all the kids down to sit in the front row. The actor playing Dr. Strange did a pretty good job. He acted more like the comic/television version than the movie version, but that was fine with us. The special effects were a lot of fun. I didn't realize they could do some of that on stage. The kids were brought on stage, learned some ways of defending against the dark arts, Dr Strange leaves, the assistants decide to mess with spell books too advanced for them and accidentally open a portal to the Dark Dimension, the big villain attacks, the kids have to help defeat him. They had a really good time.
