News Magic Kingdom and Epcot Fireworks to Resume July 1st

[jrhwdw]

I would assume masks first as well; if being indoors without a mask on isn't a risk anymore, then being in a crowd outdoors watching fireworks should be fine as well.

I was wondering what indoor masks has to do with pyro but now I see it. Thanks!


Disney won't announce anything about masks till Tuesday (I'm guessing) They wouldn't do it on a Holiday I think....

The exact date is still TBD. I’d expect it to be finalised soon.

I hope finalized soon means it’s a matter of days rather than weeks till we get a announcement lol. At least for Epcot.

Remember this is Disney and we all know how long soon is.

Yeah I know lol.

So social distancing and face coverings will join benches and trees at WDW MK Fireworks....nowhere to be found!

It’ll come. You’ll get your firework shows back. Just not quite yet.

Is the plan to still use distancing markers in the hub? I find that to be highly unlikely to work in the United States in combination with not only the current attendance levels but their planned increase in attendance.

Mosh pit in the HUB, what what!

Highly doubt it. Probably some sort of announcement prior to the show reminding guest to keep some distance between other parties

Part of me thinks as they pull things back to normal, they just start to pretend it no longer exists. Unless it turns in the opposite direction...

Doubt anyone is going to follow that announcement lol.

lol doubt Disney even cares themselves...

 

[MisterPenguin]

Same! And he seems to have good info!

Yes. He does. And also some not-so-good info. A bad info hill that he's willing to die on.

While we're at it, we should trick D'amaro into thinking Spectromagic went away due to covid that way it will come back

I guess my question is why they would continue to allow more guests in when they can’t accommodate the ones they have?

$$$. Once they have your money, it's all gravy to them... no pun intended.

I was just rehired & had traditions right away but had to wait a week for my Day 2 and another week and a half to start OTJ training Trainers definitely seem to be stretched very thin at certain locations. Pretty sure as of right now they're only allowed to pair one trainer with one trainee as opposed to pre-COVID when a trainer could be training 3-5 CMs. If it's a distancing measure I don't really understand it, since you're in a large group for your park orientation??? But who knows.

& fingers crossed HEA is back by July. Came on here to investigate since someone on Twitter had just posted a screencap of the July 21 date from Google. So I guess it's still up in the air?

If ever a course screamed out to be video'ed and streamed, this is it.

That's never been their business model, but perhaps you're right in terms of how they've seemed to be operating lately.

 

[larryz]

Let's pray for no COVID Hiccups!!!!

Is that yet another symptom???

 

[Giss Neric]

What happens to all those unused fireworks? How long do they expire or considered unsafe cause they have been stagnant for a long time?

 

[Bullseye1967]

What happens to all those unused fireworks? How long do they expire or considered unsafe cause not used for a long time?

Commercial fireworks don't have an expiration date and are usually good for up to 5 years or more. I do think there is an inspection required after a while.
