It’s technical upgrades that have been needed for quite a while now. HEA could’ve carried on with or without them.

Magic Kingdom firework testing scheduled but not a sign of imminent return of shows
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
So the Upgrades could have gone on and not affected HEA/Parties if there was never COVID, Thanks.

Roads are only closed for perimeters correct?

I think so, although someone more knowledgeable should be able come up with a definite answer!
iirc, the roads were closed for MMRR

Floridian Way, west of Center Drive is always closed whenever the north launch location is being used. In normal times, that would be every night for Happily Ever After.
When they do a large show with perimeters, they also close World Drive from Contemporary north to Center Drive. A full 360 show will also trigger shut down of monorail and all boat traffic on Seven Seas Lagoon.

2 years ago I hung out at the grand until the very last boat departure to MK. Riding the boat over and hearing all the radio chatter about clearing the lagoon and seeing the patrol boats out was a really cool experience.
Would seem so. Just checked a HEA video from earlier in 2020 and there was no Mike firework at his appearance in HEA.

Looks like the happy face from Holiday Wishes... actually several shells looked like Wishes / holiday wishes.

I think you nailed it right there. CDC says high-risk exposure is 15 minutes within 6-feet. That doesn't happen for cavalcades, but would for fireworks.

Ohhhh yeah I see that now. Interesting!
Best with sound off and 4K.
They do seem a bit Christmasy.
Smile!
cut the firework show down to less than 10 minutes
That would be FITS, Problem is people find their spot and stay there for a half hour? Hour? 2 Hours?
Unless MK can pull off FITS unannounced?? Like the Cavalcades? Granted That's Prob never been done before in a Disney Park: A fireworks show with no known time or warning.
just do a bunch over the the night 4-5 shows lasting 5 minutes or so , random times

They’ve done fireworks early due to incoming inclement weather.
