Agreed. The section of ROE with the purple and white is one of the best choreographed pyro displays ever. I was really hoping for that section to be included in Epcot forever.

I loved ROE, went for the final night. But this particular part was always my favorite with the pyro. Whenever I would tell a friend about the show, or when they asked why I was specifically going to Disney just for the final show, this is the part I would show them.

I'll have to review it for myself since this show has awkward empty spots but that'd be really bad if they did. There wasn't much to begin with.Just been watching some videos of some of the more recent displays and boy have they cut the amount of pyro.

They've done this for a while with IllumiNations. Light attendance days typically had less pyro in the show.Just been watching some videos of some of the more recent displays and boy have they cut the amount of pyro.
Not really. Thinning out if not budget driven is normally down to supply.

I didn't really take this lightly at all and assumed it was just a minor off-thing or something....but I found a stream from the other night AND BOI WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?!?!Just been watching some videos of some of the more recent displays and boy have they cut the amount of pyro.
I only skipped to like past the second half. First thing I really noticed, in the Tapestry segment, there isn't enough pyro any more to produce a "halo" effect around the lagoon..
Next the finale is reduced to bits now....honestly wth. You can obviously tell that there's missing cues for certain pyro. For example the sparkle fireworks, usually there's two of them at a time...now only one but also reduced in half overall...
What was a fun pyrotechnics show (imo) is now just a shell of its former self.
I was honestly excited to show my family this show next month, but this is just a disgrace. If it's really a supply issue, hope it gets fixed soon, but if it's budget-related, my golly-gee...
I watched for the first time last week from the center tower at S&D and found it noticeably lighter on pyro than Illuminations. Illuminations was always so thrilling to watch even from the hotel room. The kite effect was very cool to see from above/afar. Looking forward to watching from inside the park in January.

When they cut pyro for RoE it was due to wind over 10mph or technical issues

WOW... you guys weren't kidding. They cut SO much pyro, it seriously feels like more than 50% of it. I saw it for the third time and I thought the show was experiencing technical difficulties due to how few shells were going off. At certain points you're clearly supposed to see many, and you see one tiny shell, all by itself... or nothing at all. It has turned what was already a mediocre show into a pretty embarrassing one. If they keep it like this, I don't care to ever watch it again.

To me it looked like some of the pyro was in the RoTR press event, they looked familiar.

Maybe that's why. Whatever it was, it was the most barren show I've seen, way worse than IllumiNation's worst nights.

Are you a time traveler?
I’m a person on day 6 of my Disney trip who rode Rise of the Resistance twice and closed a park that was open past 11 4 times this week.
I gave this a few minutes, but there’s only so much kool-aid I can stomach at once. I applaud their passion, however misdirected I believe it to be.

If I’m being honest, after seeing this show, the only feeling I have is apathy. I saw it. I don’t really care if I ever see it again. Kites were cool but that’s my only compliment. It’s right up there with Rivers of Light, for me. It was 11 minutes where music was playing but the selection of song and style was largely bewildering. Things sporadically went boom. It felt like a final goodbye from a very drunk Epcot Center.
Adored Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime. Sad we only got to see it once because we wanted to try Epcot Forever. I would’ve rather spent another evening at MK...
