^^^You're correct, TSMM remains open during WOC. Everything else in the Pier closes during the performances. Smaller attractions, IE: Silly Symphony Swings, Golden Zephyr, Jumpin' Jellyfish, and King Triton's Carousel open between the shows on 2 show nights.
^Yea because the same quality as KBF and USH's events is not there.
You're right though it is an exceptional value as you can have all day at the park as opposed to only 6-7 hours of an evening event. I am glad the park is investing more into FF every year.
Looks like they ran into a little issue with a piece that wasn't cut quite all the way. This crane has to hold it until they have someone cut the piece completely....
