Epcot Holiday finale has turned for the worst

[NeonNinja]

Epcot Fireworks holiday have gone downhill hoping new years eve won't go this way. It has changed way to much way way less fireworks finale is no longer biggest. And will probably fall off the number 1 spot for best holiday finale.

Im sorry guys but there has to be a reason for less fireworks. Anyone have answers. Nothing will be the same without the big finale.

I assume epcot fireworks is illuminations. If so it has a lot to do with illuminations going away next year and an incident recently when one of the fireworks went into the crowd.
But costs is also a big issue as well.
It could be a lot of things really.

There is a reason the show is changing besides just IP.

Well found the reason for the smaller finale but just for that they shorten the finale.

Wow, read any news ? It has no sponsor so its all cost to Disney now. The last sponsor of the show was Siemans which concluded in 2017. Each show costs ~$25,000 and contains ~2800 shells.

Those figures are a bit high.

Don’t you think they can afford it?

Its all about the bean counters... whos budget will it come from?

They might not have the greatest display they have done but I thought last year was the all time low if anything

I don't think it's all that surprising that the most inconsistent show in the entire Disney Parks arsenal is... inconsistent. Perhaps the technicians have just gotten bored of the thing, and are going through the motions every night.

It has varied night to night since the big accident causing a live flare to land in the crowd.

That's not budget cut savings on shells. That's scrambling trying to fix things.

Have you seen videos of this year? Its horrendous

Dont get me wrong there still cheapskates

I believe it has more to do with the company policies that are often driven by Iger's political leanings.

Maybe Iger and the big wigs could give up their private jets and help save the planet that way and let the rest of us enjoy our fireworks.
