Hey! In BOB economics this pricing model is absolute bargain basement. If the product is as it was, not just a name, it will be a sweet deal for Halloween fans.

I’m not sure you’re using greenlit in the correct way. The upgrades, and plans for a new fireworks show were underway well before June 2021.
If you do truly think Enchantment got “greenlit” in June 2021. I may have some land in Nebraska to sell you.

Well considering in March 2021, they were hiring a principal fireworks designer, my timeline probably isn’t that far off:
Dream Job Alert! Disney World is Hiring a Principal Fireworks Designer
If you've ever wanted to be part of the fireworks action at Disney World, then we've got the dream job for you!

To say that things from the last couple of years were quite fluid is an massive understatement.
But tell me more about this land in Nebraska.

You’re assuming that position is for designing enchantment.Well considering in March 2021, they were hiring a principal fireworks designer, my timeline probably isn’t that far off:

We had rumors and notices of a new show for quite a while. They were making upgrades to the fireworks pad and aspects in park just randomly.
I’m not denying things were fluid because they most certainly were but again I think you’re using greenlit incorrectly here. Disney doesn’t really do anything in the span of four months or whatever you believe the timeline was.

When do you think they were confident enough they would be able to include firework spectaculars for the anniversary? That's the timing I was talking about...
Again the first teaser of the 50th didn't have fireworks in it.
Its hard to think they would have fully greenlight production (design, animation, music, pyro design, etc.) of a brand new firework before believing they could use it.

Again I’m not denying things were fluid. That’s a fact given the time we were in. That doesn’t mean they weren’t working on things. Major shows and attractions are often in development for years. Even if they don’t happen they often still go through the phases until you actually see the final product.
I don’t buy what you’re trying to sell that Enchantment was created from the ground up in four months. That just doesn’t happen with Disney. There are tons of moving pieces in these shows. We have actual evidence of things being worked on well before you’re suspected June start timeframe on this. The 50th was in development for years. Of course things changed given what the state of the world was but that doesn’t mean they threw this together overnight either.

Say I'm a principal fireworks designer and I work for WDW. And say I've been working on Enchantment as well as other projects for a a year or even longer. Say I found a new job somewhere that pays more, or maybe I want to retire. And say the company I work for (WDW) wants to advertise for a replacement so put a call out for a principal fireworks designer. No one can say what the reasons were for WDW to advertise for a principal fireworks designer. You can speculate that they had none and draw up your theories, and others can speculate that was not that case at all. No one here knows for sure.

Wasn’t there originally a new nighttime parade in development before the pandemic? Not talking about the whole PTN thing.

I believe someone stated that Enchantment was rushed. Maybe not 4 months rushed, but it was not the typical lead time.
Was it @ToTBellHop who said that or am I misremembering?

Samesie! My BFF is going to be there too (arriving the 16th) waiting to see if they decided on going and which day (and also if she'll pick up my tickets w/ hers b/c she's staying on site

While a new show was planned well in advance, the projections were rushed and some music choices were rather last-minute. Also, pandemic restrictions presented challenges since, as we’ve seen elsewhere, remote work doesn’t promote cohesive teamwork.I wouldn’t doubt some of it was. Those Main Street projections are
All of these things are visible in the finished product but should help prevent a future DE. That doesn’t mean creative blunders can’t happen, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with the vision of DE (which largely cribs off HEA). It’s all execution. For me, it’s the opposite of Harm’s issues. Bad vision, pretty visuals. But, work on Harm started well before the pandemic.

Update:
My sister and I discussed it and decided we will NOT be attending MNSSHP in late August.
We like the party but more for the shorter wait times than anything else and I get the feeling that they are going to oversell the parties since they have not had a regular party since 2019.
We also think its fun to dress up but it becomes a hassle when you have to find something fun that is 95*F appropriate.
It has also rained the last 3 special ticketed events I've been to at MK and it tends to bring down the extra atmosphere that special events are supposed to have. Instead of leisurely walking around listening to Halloween or Christmas music we are just trying to get candy or popcorn without it getting soggy.
Anyways we had to switch around a few park pass reservations but everything is all settled now and actually I'm happy with the way we changed the last day because now we will be hopping to 3 parks to hit up our favorites.
