If it's possible to have a "basement" under the Magic Kingdom and floating mountains at Animal Kingdom, I'm pretty sure anything is possible to be built at WDW if someone wants to pay for it.

Not to get too far off topic, but this is one of the fundamental changes I have noticed at WDW over the recent years. There was a point in time when the cast member, locals and fans would always say things like "if Disney wants to do it they'll find a way". Now all you ever hear is excuses. If you go to a park and question any Disney manager or CM with some particular potential thing or ask why something isn't a certain way you just get the reasons why it can't be done. Interestingly I've noticed that this "If we can dream it, we can build it" attitude has really taken off at Universal, it's as if they've both completely switched roles.

'Fireflies' and Tree of Life at 16-17 second mark 
(Although the entire commercial is 30 seconds so most people probably have the attention span to watch it all.)

When you said fireflies I was worried I was going to hear that terrible Owl City song.

Not my expertise unfortunately. The B mode of a show like this is hard to guess without having seen all the elements as intended.
I think I saw some tweets about that. Sounds like testing is going better or well? Can't be from CM Previews. As far as we know, there hasn't been any and there's no clue if there will be any or if ROL is ready for 22nd. Looks like ROL is ready for summer by the looks or that Summer Commercial WDW put out this morning.

If this show is not going to be ready for my trip in the middle of May, there is a pretty good chance I'm going to flip out! Crossing all my fingers and toesies (as my little girl says)!

I highly doubt this is true
Not an issue. Showcase Lagoon and Crescent Lake aren't exactly clean.

Neither have a fountain system like the one installed for WoC in them either, though.

Right, but show hardware wise it's different and then there's thousands less fountain nozzles and none of the same caliber.

He's joking.
No, but similar issues. Remember IllumiNations had mist screens from 1988-1999.
It isn't a problem. Quote / unquote.
No to pretty much all of that.
All of AK's water ways are man made. While they might still have a soil bottom, next to none of them were present prior to the late 90's. Even if they were natural, building on them is not that big of deal. In fact it is quite common and would simply require the driving of steel or concrete piles to support what ever machinery they needed.
It would certainly not require dredging of any major degree if at all. At the absolute worse, they would need to make a temporary dam out of sheet piles and drain or lower the water in the section they are working on.
Water quality is also not an issue as you would not be simply dropping a hose on the bottom of the lake and drawing from it. There are a number of ways you can draw from the top of the water which has much less particles to filter out even in the dirtiest of waterways.
This could be done for nearly every water way inside or immediately outside of the parks and resorts.

For what it's worth, the water in Paradise Bay is noticeably dirtier with World of Color than it ever was prior to the show's debut. It had previously been dyed blue, and kept very clean; now it doesn't appear to be dyed at all, is a murky brown color, and has visible algae growths along the shoreline
Before:
After:
No, it doesn't have fish or alligators that could be accidentally sucked into a filter or pump, but they've hardly got a swimming pool to work with. Even with the concrete bottom, it's hardly a pristine body of water.
Just something to consider while standing in the mist from all those fountains...

I clicked like as a show of appreciation for all the news you deliver, not for the fact that something we had planned for the 25th will be completely changed and we'll be missing out.

Disney just can't seem to get things together can they? Staggs, cutbacks in all the parks, ROL delay, TSL cutbacks and I'm sure I'm missing plenty of other things.
