Happily ever after loosing steam already?

I finally saw this show for the first time in person and had to say I was disappointed, they shot off allot less pyro than they did opening night, second of all, they used alternative plain shells unlike the special shaped ones they usually have.

Welcome to low season. Wishes had about 8 different ways they did it based on the crowds and the time of year.

They have steam effects they are loosing off ?

actually according to Jim Hill happily ever after is doing extremely well and they are gonna base the new night time parade around it.

I didn't know that they adjusted Pyro for crowds, anyway I loved it thought it was better than Wishes which I loved and even preferred it to Illuminations, long may it stay!
Might even watch it on youtube now!

They definitely do, and that is not just my opinion. I have verified it several times with friends that are everyone from CMs to management. My wife and I were in MK or at the pool bar at the Poly twice a month for several years. The first time we saw a real low season show, we looked at each other at the end and both said "what the %$#&* was that?". We learned the Friday and Saturday shows were sometimes a bit better during low season but still toned down. Illuminations is the same way.

Thanks that's good to know will bare this in mind in the future, I don't tend to get to go in the 'low' season anyway (if such a thing even exists) I just try and avoid peak season!

Weather and supplies are also a factor.

Well that's a nice thought, probably won't happen

I was there the first week of February. Full show and fireworks. Special shells, steam, lasers, pyro right on the castle all working perfectly fine.

Oh, it’s just because it’s not illuminations!

 

[DisneyMann]

We were there 1/24-1/31 and saw it twice. Both times had all the effects including the colored lasers and lighting during Moana, etc...

Have to second that our January trip had more effects/fireworks than the show we saw back in September.

HEA seems to be more of an infomercial. Wishes was more inspirational, nostalgic, and traditional. I wish Wishes was back.

More than likely a supply issue. They are on something like a 6 month lead time, and a lot of issues get in the way of delivery. Very often they have to substitute product. Not ideal, but they do a good job of keeping the shows going despite the issues.

Wishes was just as much of an infomercial as HEA, except HEA is the better of the two. Sucks your taste in fireworks shows is utter garbage

What a classy response to my comment.

It would certainly paint a better picture of yourself on public forums if you accept that generally other people opinions may not be the same as yours but are just as valid as yours.

 

[marni1971]

If only I cared what other others on a public/anonymous forum thought about me.

Fair enough. Just saying.
