Firework Storage

Well, it's still a secret to some people...:animwink:
I'm going to take some wild guesses here though:
1. I doubt they store the fireworks behind China because they were made there - more likely because that's where they had space for them when they added the show, and because it's handy to the canal to the Lagoon.
2. Do they really store extra fireworks at the Orlando Airport? That seems weird to me for 2 reasons. First, that's a long way to store materials that they use on property EVERY NIGHT, and why would they store anything like that off-property? Second, a large quantity of fireworks would be a dangerous thing to store at an Airport, especially with all the EXTRA security we have now. I don't think the FAA would like to have a ton of gun powder stored on Airport Property, and then let someone from WDW come in every day to get some of them :lol:
Anyway, just my thoughts at 10:30 at night! And I don't care if I'm wrong because I'm heading to WDW in 2.5 hours!!!!

While it is true that Disney only ships 1 day worth of shows to each show location, they do have a storage facility on property. It is on the north end of property. I can't get into detail where but trust me, it's there. Before the facilty was built, Disney did have a storage facility at the airport. It was an old ammunition magazine that was used when OIA use to be a military airfield. Hope that sums it up.

So Disney can't build an explosives bunker but they are allowed to build a nuclear power plant?
They havn`t. Yet!
The Reedy Creek Improvement District (quasi government that runs WDW) has permission to do so if they ever want to. Same with an airport (not the STOLPort - a full size facillity). This ruleing was granted back in the 60`s when WDW was being planned, and is law.
