MGM had fireworks?

I know we all remember the past as the "best of times" sometime falsely, but Sheeze those were TRULY the days.
God all mighty, didn't PI have a New Year's Eve type celebration EVERY single night??

Wow.

Yes...I remember that

 

[ShookieJones]

I completely agree! and yes, Pleasure Island had a New Year's Eve celebration every single night with a countdown to midnight and all. It was for all ages! I am happy to have been able to experience that when I was younger. I miss those days!!!!

Man I can remember that..the band playing...confetti the whole works. When Disney is doing things right no one can even come close.
eehhhh....Seems like they've given up on even trying.... it's freakin' frustrating.

You guys are so mean!!!!!!!!!! I forgot all about that show but now that I had to go back and look it's all coming back to me... I loved that show when I was a kid. This isnt the first time this happened. This is pure torture!!!!!!!!!

 

[DizFiz]

Wow! that looked amazing to bad I never got the chance to see them... I'm totally in love with the inflatable Sorcerer Mickey.

Sorcery in the Sky took place at HS from summer 1990 to fall 1998. 1990 was the 50th anniversay of "Fantasia". It was the best fireworks show at WDW, EVER.

I was listening to Sorcerer Radio on the way to work today and a song they were playing said it was the hollywood studios fireworks. The only fireworks I'm familiar with is the ones included in Fantasmic and what they were playing certainly wasn't from Fantasmic. Did the park have fireworks back in the day or something?

Sorry you missed Sorcerer's fireworks. They were the best and you didn't have to jump through hoops to see like Fantasmic and soon Illuminations at the rate Epcot is taking away viewing spots.

My DS (also '87 and likely a CP back when you were,) remembers them, his first trip was in '88 and at least every year after that. Actually he was a guest of an honored CM at DHS last year when they shut it down for anniversary CM's night, they had the fireworks just for them. He said it was pretty cool. Good memories.

They also had the Rocketeer. Enough said.

The Rocketeer was my favorite movie at the time (still is one of my favs)and that was truly amazing.

 

[All Disney All The Time]

I wish that Sorcery In The Sky hadn't been brought up. It reminds me of the drastic decline at WDW.

 

[Gabe1]

WAIT WHAT!?!?!?

I need a little bit more meat in that question.

Reposted for truth!

I'm sure I remember seeing this at Halloween in 95 with Mickey dressed as a ghost instead of the Sorcerer, really cool.

That's just cool.

Shookie's right. When they get it right there's real magic going on. What I wouldn't give to stand there! But they're not even trying anymore. Show this thread to a TDO suit, and all they'll see is a naive Disney that didn't monetise those viewing spots on the hub.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

These fireworks were great, I loved the big inflatable Mickey.

They also used to give a crap about making all the parades nice too. *sigh*

It's strange to think about how Disney went from having spectacular fireworks shows at ALL of its theme parks and at Pleasure Island in the early 1990s, to only two of its theme parks today. I wonder if there's any way that DHS land use can be reconfigured to allow fireworks again.
