I know the tech-team for fireworks can only work with what they have (inventory) but there have been so many substitutions with shells lately, I hardly recognize the show. Not as many shells and tons of substitutions has left Wishes wishing for the good ole days.
What's the deal?
boo... you still around here? Any insight?

I find the same thing inIlluminations. It was a slippery slope when more Eco-friendly fireworks were used. Fireworks shows do lack the excitement and wow factor they did 10 years ago!

It's supply issues. Big time. Out of WDWs control. It may take a fair few weeks if not longer for things to settle.

Let's hope WDW does all it can to limit or eliminate pyrotechnic air and water pollution and switch to more environmentally friendly shows.

Fireworks are as Iconic to Disney as the Statue of Liberty is Iconic to America.

Hopefully that will change with time. Laser light shows can be just as impressive (if not more so) and they are far safer. Laser shows are much more expensive at this time but I expect the cost to come down as laser technology improves and mass production reduces expenses.

WDW is a great area to use this technology since aircraft can be diverted so pilots would not be endangered by these displays.

The continued use of fireworks by burning various metallic salts and poisoning the air, water and land needs to be phased out. The toxicity of multiple nightly displays is not reasonable since there are better alternatives.

Disagree that laser shows are more exciting and hope Walt Disney World never gets rid of the nightly fireworks shows at any of it's parks.

It does. Since 1987.

There are currently no plans to remove either of the main pyro shows at WDW. Thankfully.

Hi yall!

Back from my trip. Weather here in Pittsburgh sucks. Ready to go back to Orlando. Now, please.

I rather enjoyed the fireworks shows that I caught while there over the past 5 nights. Although there didnt really seem to be much order in terms of presentation (especially when viewed from the beaches of the Polynesian) it was still a nice show.

However the smell from the fireworks (or is it the lake? LOL) WHEEWWWWW-EEEE. That'll clear out the sinuses.

Yeah, I just don't like this sniping amongst various people/sites. Very negative and there's no reason for it. Martin didn't say anything inaccurate, so why did this other person feel the need to gloat? Add to that, Martin's nice on the boards - he doesn't have a go at others, so...just one of those things that got my blood pressure up a bit.

He is even nicer in person.
