As in you have? Or just hoping?
I don't think there's money to go around for it? Or will at this point?

We Are One (over and over and over and over and over and over and over)
Sorry, glad they tried to do something with Rivers of Light, but I was not impressed.

I understand that RoL never really lived up to expectations and AK at night never quite drew the crowds that Disney was hoping for, but I think that all versions of the show were beautiful and fitting for that park, and it is so sad to see the lagoon sit mostly empty (and/or used for only "KiteTails") these days. I really hope that Disney isn't afraid to take another stab at another nighttime show for the park.
Despite the general disappointment with Rivers of Light - I would also argue that the show quality was (at least) on par with the projection shows that Disney is currently running at Hollywood Studios in the evening, and something is better than nothing.

ROL just needed a more fitting finale. While I know fireworks are a no, you know what else works well and doesn’t make much noise? Flamethrowers. The ones in ROL were far too small, they litterally needed more firepower. This is a company who has another show on water that has a >100ft flamethrower, it should have been replicated in the AK show. Here’s hoping they recognize it the next time they do a show.

I would agree with you but we now also have a really nice ampitheatre at AK that is sorely missing a draw to pull some of the crowds off of those walkways and make both a sit down option and a walk around option equally enjoyable.
So... nothing heard by anyone. Thanks, and have a good night!

We Are One was bad. The original was better. Both suffered from poor finales. The show is gone for good though.
Basically.

We Are One was a mockery of the original. It took something artistic and full of depth and turned it into a sing-a-long. I miss the shamans and those intensely detailed costumes. It felt so other-worldly. Like your whole day at the park was ending with some grand spiritual ceremony. The narration and animal spirit vibe was so interpretive yet rich. It's sad. Drones, additional pieces, something could've been added to give it that finale "umph" that people thought it lacked. Personally I loved the subtlety.

It is the most beautiful nighttime park, but there's not enough to do to keep guests inside the park the entire day.
MK is open to 11PM (and the crowds should be pushing it to 12 most days now) while DAK struggles to keep people to 8PM. Most people are out of DAK by 5PM

They need more attractions. Period.

Well, the OP has had reliable information before. I think the purpose was to see if anyone could collaborate, which doesn't seem to be the case.

What is the issue with low fireworks that don’t explode?

Something will come eventually. How long that will be is anyone's guess. I've said before, but it just needed "more"
