Predictions on when evening hours and nighttime shows can resume?

[monothingie]

For the past hour there has been what looks like Fire works testing on Disney property west of the Grand Floridian but inside of 429.

I’m having dinner at the California Grill and have been watching it all. Definitely on Disney Property and no apparent structure to the fire works. Some of it was quite impressive.

Interesting...Thanks! Do you remember if it started before 9PM ET? Was watching a Stream at MK tilll 9 and didn't hear a thing. Haven't seen any Twitter Alerts either.

That's bizarre. Hard to tell for sure, but that line looks like it would possibly go over a bit of the Magnolia golf course, then the solar farm, and then off Disney property. I wonder where they were shooting from.

A few months ago I had been speculating that we'd never see this again. I'm very happy to have been proven wrong!

That’s a low cost diversion with a limited audience at VERY overpriced rooms right now.

They’re smarter than I thought If they get that going

Didn't see this thread back in November. But the area you are showing is the fireworks storage/test range.

If WDW was smart, they would debut/return nighttime shows unannounced, select nights, limited capacity and before Spring. Give the AP locals and bloggers a chance to “make up for lost time” and get it out of their system before the busier time of year hits.

It was quite a show we enjoyed while having dinner at California Grill. Some interesting things I’ve not seen in Disney shows.

They’re “being smart ”

They’re currently being smart by not encouraging social gathering more than they are already.

I'd be more interested in what they have in these containers nearby.

Floats maybe?? LOL!!!

Here's a crazy thought: Any chance MK might move a Pyro Show to that spot for the time being? That would certainly take the focus off of the Castle/Hub/Main Street... IDK if a newer Spectacular could be done at that spot so maybe just FITS?

...which doesn’t involve fireworks.

No...because they’re greedy, not fools

We seem to be having an issue with some fundamental situations on the ground.

Just asked the question since apparently the test was a good show from that Spot. We all want Pyro Shows safely, that's without Question! Do we really want all the nightlife at UOR/SWO??? That's where it is right now, IDK if UOR/SWO is risking their lives or WDW hasn't thought of a way to get it done.
