Horrible vantage point. Trees in camera view. A box in front of them. Anyway, MK's is about 5 minutes away.

Magic Kingdom fireworks at 1005pm

Mayne Mafia's Epcot feed is horrible. I'd advise just watching the one WDWMagic recorded several years back.

Watch this one. You're better off. It begins with Illuminations then the July 4th tag at the end.

omg, the music so far is awful. Yankee Doodle Boy with wacky sound effects and orchestration. My Country way too fast.

It's a show from the 1970s/80s. Listen to the narrator. Straightforward dull voice. No inflection. All narrators sounded the same then.

The show is not actually that old

Okay. Old enough. I'm not complaining. Being straightforward patriotic music, you can recycle this show over many years.

Oh, Susanna. The original lyrics had "killing 500 [n words]". Nice.

Comin' Round the Mountain. A secularized spiritual made into a children's ditty.

More orchestrations of singing the songs as sing-songy as possible with no good art direction.

Star Spangled Banner is now a song with a nice beat that you can dance to. I give it an 8 out 10, Dick.

Was pretty meh. The water drops on the camera made it even worse

 

[MisterPenguin]

The music represents the worse of kiddification of Americana and cultural ignorance. I'd be happy to consult for a better musical score that's beautiful and majestic and toe-tapping and heartfelt without pandering.

At least the fireworks were top-notch.

 

[MisterPenguin]

People will moan about anything, you guys are getting so deplorable with your drivel lately.

We all can't be the eternal Pollyanna, like you.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Fireworks were awesome, as usual. Tons of lightning!

The show was good for what it was. Fireworks with patriotic music. But it needs updating. They can now work in projections. Would be great with the Stars and Stripes, a bald eagle, scenes from sea to shining sea projected against the castle. Maybe re-work the track selection. Always needs the 1812 Overture, of course.

I'm just confused why now everyone is stupidly hating on this amazing show?! It's been being performed sinxe 2008-ish and now suddenly the basic tasters come out of the bushes

Because Satan himself orchestrated the music in order to destroy American patriotism. IT MUST BE STOPPED!!!!

Can't answer that. But they did make some valid points if overly colorful.

I'm trying to be diplomatic but you have to go all in. LOL!

He's trolling the people who complain about everything.
