I have a message out. It's just so odd to me because they definitely modified the programming to compensate by why remove the lights from the castle altogether? Seems like they couldve achieved a very, very similar effect with the lights that were operating.

Wait what happened to the EPCOT barge? Is there a thread
EF pyro is going to be OK
Caught Fire in the Fall, Showed up for Epcot NYE, Then gone again from Harm. it's the second High Pyro Barge in Harm. Hopefully it's fixed enough for EF!

Thanks for doing this. I didn't realize how frequent those mega lights were used. It's really obvious now, wow.
With the amount of reprogramming, safe to say they are gone for good. I just don't really understand the new intro programming though. It's really bad.

Agreed. I suspect , like the castle, they actually created new HEA animation purposely drawn to fit onto the Main Street buildings surfaces versus Disney Enchantment, which I believe just took existing animation and tried to project them onto the buildings as best as they can.
It's a huge improvement. And yes, I agree with the observation that Main Street is more of an extension of the castle and not competing with the castle and I absolutely love it that way. There was a part where there were some explosions by the castle and they look like they jumped all the way over from the castle and then started hitting the main street buildings and it was a marvelous effect.

I also enjoy that you see Grandma Manta Ray swim by on the buildings before she swims up the castle.
Also Baymax zooming by!!

They said in an Instagram video that they added 32 more characters into the show from the MS projections
I wonder when they’ll announce the HEA breakfast bounty, the HEA lunchtime special, the pre-pre-party HEA tea and cookies, and the post-post-party HEA nightcap.
I’ll pay for all of it.
I am SO happy this show is back. I watched a video of the return on YouTube. I missed it ssoooo much. I can’t wait to see it in person! I’m local and hubby just got hired with a third party (Mexico pavilion server). I’m buying an annual just for this.

OMG, so much better than DE's cartoon characters and flash animation.
The new MSUSA projection is very graphic, like Minnie's Wonderful Christmas, and it throws in the animations as seen on the castle.
It's not the full 'show' you'll see on the castle. But if you're close to the train than the castle, it'll provide some extra touches to seeing the fireworks from so far away.
The one thing that the MSUSA projections does better than the castle is highlight the couples during At Last I See the Light. On the castle, they're hard to make out. On MSUSA, you can clearly seeing them make out.
Now we're talking!
