In an AP newsletter that I posted earlier in the thread it said coming May 2015. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t announce details until late 2014 or January 2015.

True, but it's a huge expense generally reserved for permanent moves. The rumor suggested DL would borrow HKDL's parade for the summer and then ship it back after a few months. That's just dumb.
Yeah it's dumb, but they've done dumber things in the past. I don't think they would do it but it wouldn't massively surprise me if they did.

Miceage is reporting that the old Fantasy in the Sky fireworks show will go from January 2015 into May 2015 while they install all the new effects for the 60th.
It sounds like everyone better go get their last viewings of RDCT sooner rather than later.

It's going to be hard to see RDCT go. It's easily the most spectacular firework show I've ever seen, but its time has come.

Well, ever since I heard they truncated it slightly (removing the second half of the Frontierland section), I was disappointed. And ever since 2009, when I went to Disneyland, it was either in the summer or just as the Christmas season got underway, which meant I saw either Magical or Believe In Holiday Magic.
I'm sorry you didn't have many chances to see it. Even without the Thunder section, it's still a stellar show.
OK I've only been to Disneyland once and didn't check out the fireworks, how often does RDCT play? Cause I'll be there in 3 weeks so I wanna make sure to check it out, if it plays
Yeah, you have to see it before it leaves. They showcase it once a night, usually on Fridays-Sundays. If not Fridays, then just the weekends. If Halloween starts by the time you go, which seems like it will, they showcase RDCT on non-Halloween party days. I don't remember if this includes weekdays, maybe one of my fellow DL vets can answer that.

Well, I have seen the show before (and absolutely LOVED it!), just not with anything removed.
Okay.

Well, my friend who is working on both the fireworks and the night parade for Disneyland gave me more details today. They are both going to be extremely spectacular! Can't wait to see these new offerings!

I've never seen the fireworks either. Hope you have a great time at Walt's place!

You may be able to see if it will be showing during your dates on the Disneyland website.

Umm well, from what he tells me in regards to the fireworks:
"120 new lighting fixtures, 8 new projectors, 26 new launch positions, 12 new special effects which I can't talk about"
and in regards to Paint the Night:
"Two sets were made, ours with additional units. Also we are converting old jubilation units into new nighttime units for DL. Those have been here for the last 3 weeks to begin the conversion"

Sounds awesome! Any hint at when these shows will debut?

I just checked, RDCT will be showcasing during your stay. Lucky you.
