News Magic Kingdom and Epcot Fireworks to Resume July 1st

[Parker in NYC]

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.

So we think. I’ll wait to see what happens. My expectations for this company are nil.

I just hope they bring back the full Christmas Party. I will wait until next year to attend the full Halloween Party.

First of all, we don’t know whether they’ll be running fireworks those nights.

Cavalcades aren’t parades.

Less people, possibly more revenue. If anything, I’d see them do more and more after hours and less legit parties. But again. NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING YET. Call me cautious, I don’t mind.

Yes we do. There’s a reason the park closes and event starts when it does.

I didn’t say cavalcades were parades. I said they require staffing/labor. Less than a full parade but still enough that you can’t call the full parade a savings.

Less people equals less revenue.

Correct, Calvacades are not Parades. However, HEA will be every night! Insiders have confirmed it and didn't even DPB confirm it????????

After this year I don’t think they’ll be able to get away with a holiday themed after hours event that doesn’t have live entertainment, a real parade, and fireworks. They may still call it DAH, but it would just be Not So Scary/ Very Merry with a higher price tag.

Currently watching a livestream of the event tonight and they’re doing HEA trivia in front of the castle!

“What only live action film is represented in HEA”
“What only song from Frozen is played in HEA”

So that's why the Stage is lit even though we don't have one!

This is the best livestream I could find inside the MK for a perfect view of HEA:

Anyone heard if OUAT is tonight or not?

 

[gerarar]

In just a few minutes! Announcement just played parkwide. Now preshow music.

 

[Zummi Gummi]

Apparently Jordan Fisher performed before the fireworks began? That's what twitter seems to be saying.

 

[jrhwdw]

Little better low pyro at the start.

He sang like the first few lines of the song and the audience joined in. It was nice!

Edit: around the 11 minute mark he comes on stage and sings.

 

[jrhwdw]

Just like Sat Night , We Are Rolling!

Tink!!! I think MK is ready for July 1st!!

 

[gerarar]

Wonderful finale, this time with an audience! So nice to hear everyone sing and cheer along.

It's evident that a lot of the low/castle/FL pyro is missing, due to stocking or other issues. So pyro were changed around and timings were changed. Hopefully that can get fixed eventually.

While hard to see, if you look at cast members' videos of the show tonight, the projections have been updated in some scenes to highlight the castle decorations for the 50th, nice touch!

Yea I noticed that tonight! It’s really evident during the Go The Distance and Finale projections. Majority of the time it’s projected yellow. I think it was blue at one point during the beginning part of Go The Distance before “I will beat the odds”.

I know and love HEA so much that I know what parts/segments of the show supposed to have fireworks but didn't on the CM previews. I think it was on purpose and will be added when it is officially open to all.
