So we wear Bluetooth headphones and listen to my iPhone. Your phone can play the Beauty and the Beast (2017, of course) soundtrack for Chapek.

All these poor Brits having to keep track of our holidays.

How about Flag Day Fireworks?
I'm guesssing that's not a hint but LOL! Is there even a special Flag Retreat for Flag Day? Veterans Day, Memorial Day, July 4th of course but Flag Day?

I was joking.

I imagine there is. Basically, now through the end of July is Patriot Season in the parks. I imagine the bunting is up? Merch is rolling out.

We are just 10 weeks away from Halloween, the Most Spooktacular 3 months of the year!

Seems to me a June 15th target would make sense, with college program labor coming in on June 14th. Pure guess, though.

If I were them, I would not want to wait till July, because there will be a huge crush already on July 4th (if there are fireworks), so give the locals a chance to get it out of their system before then. Or wait till after the 4th.
Would June 15th be after DCP Training? I'm sure Training is involved before turning DCP over to the Guests

Before COVID, for a a normal July 3-4th, the locals came out anyway because of the Quality of Celebrate America and ROE July 4th. Would EF have that same Quality? We may never know!

Not that I've seen over YT. DL seems to do more America Bunting than MK. Who knows if DL is even doing theirs this year.

I’ve certainly seen bunting in MK when I’ve come for Memorial Day in the past.
There should be bunting up all year except Christmas. Remember, if it’s not Halloween or Christmas, Main Street USA is celebrating the 4th of July everyday; it’s the story reason why (in normal times) there’s an afternoon parade and fireworks at night every day.

Nor did I, DL doesn't even do that and DL is the Original!

That said, I believe Bunting was used for WDW's Opening, 1975-1976 for America On Parade,1988 for MK's All America Parade and 9/11/01 till Holiday decor in 2001.
They used to do a better job of it (look back at old pictures) but between the year long celebration bunting and then budget cuts it’s become more sporadic on both coasts.

So, my question is: Are there plans for anything at DHS or DAK? We know that something is in the works for Epcot (Forever first, then Harmonious) and MK (seems like HEA returning). Is DHS going to have either (or both?) of Fantasmic! or Galactic Spectacular coming back? And will DAK be open later and have Awakenings running?

Last I heard on here is DAK wouldn't extend hours. DHS who knows? Insiders seem to feel good about MK/Epcot but not much from the other 2 Parks

I am not an insider but I did hear from someone who would know that Fantasmic is on the docket for summer/fall, with timing very much up in the air when that person communicated that to me a few weeks ago.

They want night shows at all 4, it spreads the crowds, benefits the resturants and makes Disney more cash.

I’m sure I’m not the only one since park hopping came back that has spent every afternoon/evening in Epcot or MK.
