News Magic Kingdom and Epcot Fireworks to Resume July 1st

[MorphinePrince]

I wish they’d have used the downtime to put in a new show…

Same. Beauty and the Beast is so stale and tired at this point.

Any idea how long it might take them to get BATB going if they are in rehearsals already?

I believe "the site that can't be named" was reporting that Disney was internally casting for BatB in mid-June, not that it was in rehearsals yet.

100% - it’s pathetic at this point. Disneyland has had so many shows in their theatres during BATBs run at DHS.

Probably toward early fall.

Hope that add more lighting to the rooftops and also MS. Disneylands MS has them.

 

[zoso]

is this for 50th?

Enchantment probably.

 

[Disney Glimpses]

Another view of the new sites. I am thinking these rooftops sites were modified for Enchantment and that is why we are seeing modified pyro for HEA (most of the modified pyro is related to these sites).

 

[gerarar]

Now add pyro launches along Main Street!!, similar to Streets of America had at one point.

 

[TTA94]

So much secrecy going on about Enchantment, and other 50th things and details. Not entirely sure why unless Disney is Still being cautious, because of the new covid varients.

It could be because they did an audible when the COVID situation “resolved” much sooner than expected. Maybe.

True. I’d be shocked if they are not at all concern about the Delta varients.

 

[mikejs78]

The latter. I know it WILL get entertainment back this year. This looks (to me) like a date. Just like when they conspicuously changed MK’s hours starting 7/1.

Why start closing after dark? Crowds have not substantially increased over, say, June.

The question is, what will return?

 

[SpectroMickey85]

Any word on the street yet about Festival Of Fantasy?

If it comes back they'll have to pick a new time. I'm not sure if they'd want it at 1pm to beet the hoping and force park passes, or move it later to 3 or 4pm to allow people to hop in. I doubt they want to have hopping start at the same time as the parade.

If memory serves, FoF was at 3pm.

It was usually at 3pm.

Except during party season

Yes, but the “party” is now an After Hours event with early entry at 7pm, so I don’t think 3pm is a problem.
