They could just be testing it. I saw they had DMX lighting going on too and the lights were sparkling on AA Pavilion.

Right, but i am talking the “daytime” version, although it sounds like that might have been scrapped by now. I thought the poster was showing off the new “day spectacular”.

Hey mom, look at the concert rigging. Glad it's only temporary!

Had to be a show test as there's no way they would have that much complexity for a daytime mode. Plus, that much water falling onto the barges seems like a good way to accelerate wear and tear.
One thing I found interesting with the daytime mode was how nearly all the fountain heads were positioned to keep water OFF the rigs and away from the lights, rotating arms, and LED screens. It's like they know constantly dousing the equipment with who-knows-what lagoon water is a bad idea, and I wonder if testing revealed more "issues" with this than initially thought.

Even if they point the nozzles away from the barges and equipment, there’s an X factor that WDI wasn't able to take into consideration. It’s a brand new phenomenon that’s only recently been discovered. It’s been dubbed - “Wind”. Apparently it could cause the water sprayed into the air to MAGICALLY be moved by invisible forces back onto the equipment. Only time will tell if WDI can use some of their incredible ingenuity, creativeness, and resourcefulness used at Creations Shop and the

Illuminations pre show music currently playing in Japan. Please don’t tell Disney!
Oh, so that's why parts of Orlando lost power last night.

That’s SSE. I saw it last night from my hotel room at the Cabana Bay. It was green at points too. The glare made a good photo impossible.

Yikes. Spice Road is not worth that. Haven't been to Rose & Crown so I can't speak to its value.

I love Rose and Crown, but IIRC that is a garbage spot to look at the stargate screen. Then again I just assume that is important for a good experience.

I mean, none of these dining or dessert packages is "worth it" from a food/drink standpoint. You're really paying for the convenience of a relatively stress free and uncrowded fireworks view, and I can understand how there is perceived value in that.
Rose and Crown will have a pretty lousy view for Harm because you won't be able to see the Stargate screen. Spice Road might be better for viewing the Stargate, but I think the islands obstruct the overall view, plus you miss out on most of the pavilion effects.

I believe some of the Uttara-Kuru tracks from the RoE pre-show list (“Our Life” definitely, maybe also “Winter Dance”) are also part of the pavilion BGM loop, and have been for some time.
