Just curious...Will they still have the newer area open during Wishes since it is a fallout area for the fireworks??
The fallout area overlaps the new Fantasyland. But that corner of Fantasyland is all indoors due to this reason. It was very carefully planned that was as to not impose on any current operations, including the MK fireworks.
Is there always a really low firework near the finale after the Blue Fairy comes? We were watching two Saturdays ago from the previous Dumbo spot and it looked REALLY low, so low that people in front of the castle probably couldn't see it. Misfire? Or is it part of the fantastic show?
Several years ago (perhaps 2006?) we watched Wishes from outside Liberty Tree Tavern on a windy day. Pieces of the rockets were falling all around us. My DW was very worried about our safety but luckily it was not crowded where we were and, as far as I could tell, no one was hit. I was watching a few CMs and they seemed to have startled looks on their faces. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
ouch! i am interested in this too. i think that they planned it so that it revolves around the show so that they do not have to close downYes. On nights with a strong wind, debris can fall into the park. They'll typically inhibit some shells from firing in those cases. There was one show where the winds were so strong most of the Fantasyland roof pyro didn't launch at all. And a large chunk of cardboard (about 8"x8", presumably from one of the largest shells) fell from the sky and bonked my friend on the thigh while we stood by the Tomorrowland bridge.

It shouldn't be too dangerous. You have to dodge this type of fallout all week!
