Pleasure Island Fireworks

Hey everyone,
I just got back from a great weekend at the new Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa. It is a wonderful resort that you should check out on your next trip. As promised, it offers a great panaroamic view of Downtown Disney. Speaking of Downtown Disney, everyone knows that Pleasure Island does midnight fireworks, and that they're usually just a few shells and not much else. On Friday night we watched them and as usual, it was all over in about 30 seconds. Can anyone tell me why last night's show (June 19th, midnight) was a 5 minute no holding back, give it everything you got bomb fest?? It was an incredible barrage of shell after shell, ground stuff behind P.I, and it only got louder and bigger as it went on. Think of it as the grand finale of Illuminations and Wishes lasting about 5 minutes, only louder and mostly bigger. I was totally shocked to see this, and was wondering if anyone knows why it was like that. Do they just go all out on Saturdays or something? Did anyone happen to see it? If you did, you know what I'm talking about. Any inside info would be appreciated. Thanks!

They've been doing that every time I've gone to PI for awhile now. Personally, I think it would be terrible for those folks trying to sleep at SSR. I know when the MK does thier midnight fireworks for the special events, it wakes me right up. GRRR...

Haha, yeah, we were all in bed at 11ish...this show woke us up big time...there is No way in the world anyone could have possibly slept through that. I'm sure there were some crying kids, complaints, etc...it just never let up. How long has pleasure island been doing this show? Friday night it was short and tame, then this. When did it change into this extravaganza?

It's been happening every time I've been outside at PI for at least the past 6 months. (Then again, I don't go to PI often)

we just stayed there a week ago and i know what fireworks you are talking about! we too jumped out of bed after the first few minutes of that!

i've been informed that its just some special thing that they are doing during select saturdays during the summer months.

The rest of the week is just the same old nothing-to-see-here few shells that go off at midnight, however every saturday night... BOOM POW BANG! a fireworks extraveganza goes off. Just wish I could have seen more of it than i heard.

:cool:
