The nightly fireworks have thankfully died down a bit in this area. But there for a few weeks it was just a nightly annoyance.
I gotta admit, Disney parks have ruined me for other displays of fireworks. I really just have no interest in them without coordinated music and other effects. (For me, Wishes at MK in 2011 will probably never get topped.)
Though having said that, one of my weirdly favorite life experiences was when I worked at a Walgreens and one 4th of July, since the store was a ghost town, a couple other employees and I snuck out onto the roof to watch the random sparks fly up around town.

Ah, that's the one I remembered and referenced earlier in the thread!
The best fireworks I've ever seen was on National Day in Hong Kong in 2010. Incredibly congested, unwittingly found myself stuck in a spot standing two hours before the show, trapped...totally worth it! Elaborate, spectacular show over the water with the skyline of Hong Kong Island in the background. It was an unforgettable experience.
If my local area did fireworks like that I'd be a much bigger fan.

I liked the fireworks show at MGM Studios with the Rocketeer.

Did Monsanto mention Agent Orange and it's life long cancer effects on exposed soldiers?

You don't like to see stuff blow up?
No. I’ve got my fair share with Disney. The company, not the fireworks.

I can't believe Disney thought it was a good idea to have such a non inclusive ride with racial cartoon undertones as Splash Mountain in the 1990's. Disgusting that Disney ok'd this ride back then. No body thought of the children when they decided to include ZIP-A-DEE-DO-DAH at the end????

A good representation of the park from a bygone area. Was that guy from the Big Thunder Ranch segment a member of Billy Hill and the Hillbillies? He looked familiar. The "new" announcer does a good job, but it is a shame that more Jack Wagner isn't left in the parks (Offhand, I can't think of any. What examples of Jack Wagner voiceovers remain in the park? The only one I can remember from any of the parks is Tokyo Disneyland, where his original recording is still used to announce the park's closing.
I'm partial to Disneyland Fun, from 1990. Lots of great footage there too, and I'm partial to it because it was the first images of Disneyland I ever saw and the only-possible-at-that-moment use of Roger Rabbit that firmly sets the entire thing as a time capsule.

His Matterhorn safety spiel is intact- though modified to now say "Remain seated with your seat-belt fastened" instead of "Remain seated please", which I believe they stole from the old breakdown spiel.

Good to know, I wasn't sure if it had been redone with a soundalike or not.
