[jrhwdw]

There was talk/rumor of a July 4th Stream.

There was talk/rumor of a July 4th Stream.

That would make sense, just because they don't have 4th of July themed fireworks doesn't mean they can't still stream a fireworks show to celebrate the 4th. It's become tradition for a lot of people. I know not having the 4th of July and New Years fireworks this past year threw off my traditions.

Maybe they are still deciding how much to charge? I mean, nothing can be free anymore due to “unprecedented demand”, according to the Bob 2.0 AA.

I'm pretty sure some people said that all the fireworks in the world were being dumped into the Marianas Trench and there would never be fireworks again, which is sorta OK since were all going to get masks surgically attached to our whole face.

I guess this shows them!!

Or the nutter who claimed the holiday parties are never coming back due to all the selfish people attending Boo Bash.

In case there’s any significant MK fireworks testing tonight, he’s the one stream I could find:


Edit: Another stream, but from the GF.

HEA is doing a test without fireworks right now.

OK, I'm glad I went to bed early because here we are! Cast Night!!! HEA and maybe Casey's???? I saw that on Twitter

 

[gerarar]

Im pretty sure they also tested OUAT (without pyro). I recognized some scenes from it.

Interesting. I wonder if that's a surprise tonight? Or is it just Casey's(if true),HEA and go home?

 

[SpectroMan93]

I think bringing back OUAT with HEA would be smart from a crowd-control stand point. Even prior to the pandemic, Disney wanted to avoid a mass exit after the fireworks, and that will be even more desirable now.

I still don't see OUAT on MK's Entertainment Page for July 1st going forward. Unless only CMs/Guests in MK will know about it?


A 2nd Site is reporting Casey's open for Cast tonight!

This nutter still holds true to more fake after hours “holiday parties” than ever before. Too much money to be made. Let’s see what capacity is truly like (and I want more test data than reports from one night, alone). “Opening night, park empty!”

They make way more money with MNSSHP…

If so they’d probably only be able to do that on the days when Boo Bash is not going on. They’d want to be able to clear people out of the park after fireworks

If you are referring to me, I specifically fought back against using the term selfish, but I continue to fear the holiday parties won’t come back.

Agree, if OUAT is returning. I'd love it too, but IDK if we have confirmation yet.

If OUAT does return it would be awesome to do Halloween and Christmas versions during the events.

I was not.

I want to see the receipts. Until we see the numbers for these After Hours, all the data in the world won’t mean a thing to me. If anything, they won’t need to spend the cost of labor on staffing, parades, fireworks, etc. They save a lot in the process.

They will still be offering fireworks on event nights, just to everyone instead of only event guests. So no savings there. There will still be cavalcades, so while less staffing than a full parade it’s not a complete savings. But there will be substantially less guests resulting in substantially less ticket revenue and substantially less ancillary income due to that lower attendance.
