Anyone else down here feel the quake?

I wonder if they will only use the live preshow performers during busier times since, unlike in orlando, there is an automated presentation.

I didn't know there was a quake. I felt nothing.

If the Voices of Liberty at DL are anything like the ones at American Adventure at Epcot, DL guests are in for a treat. It's one of the tings I don't over saturate myself with so it is still amazing when I hear them sing.
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”
― Dr. Seuss

I didn't get a chance to hear them when I was at Epcot so this will be nice to see if I have the time.

I agree, they really do have beautiful voices. I especially enjoy how they drop little hints of humor into some of their songs. Keeps it lively!

I wonder where they will perform? Unlike the setup in Epcot, there isn't really a good spot for them. Speaking of, why in the hell are there benches on the second floor since it's all closed off until load time?

I think they'll be in the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln maybe in the lobby prior to entering the place.

Possibly, but I almost want to say that (since there is a preshow and no central focal point for them) they will be performing out front as a mean of luring guests in.

Looks like we'll have to go investigate this.

I'm not surprised they had to add the handrails in, OSHA doesn't mess arround. I remember having to walk off it near the top and my first thought was "this doesn't seem very safe".
