I can see what they are trying to do. No talk of the perimeters that I know of.
Clearly angle matters. Let me check what it looks like from TTC.
Best I could grab.

Good news for HEA... bad news for a light parade anytime soon.

A light parade has noting to do with fireworks. They are both different things with different budgets.

After watching some more recent videos, it's clear a good number of the fireworks are still changing. Quite a few big differences. It'll be interesting to see the show when it's done changing shells.

I think they didn't test the perimeter launch sites because of the burn ban, and the burn ban is supposedly sticking around for at least a few weeks more (according to chatter from Fort Wilderness fans).
Edit: the ban was already lifted... I just wasn't paying enough attention.

The burn ban was lifted Monday the 5th. I was staying at Fort Wilderness when they let us know that we can start using the charcoal grills again.

The tripadvisor reviews for this show are spectacular...they've really hit it out the park. Credit to them.
I absolutely thought it was the most amazing fireworks show I've ever seen. I saw it on day 2 or 3 of it debuting and I had avoided reviews & previews other than those released by Disney themselves.
The show pulled on my heart strings & actually made me tear up a little, which is rare! It was so overpowering it was one of those 'I love this place' kind of moments. They really debuted well the huge range of IP at their disposal and their choices paid tribute to some classic work, whilst targeting children of the 80s/90s with Lion King & Aladdin (I fanboyed) but also their recent hits Frozen, Wreck it Ralph, Big Hero 6' Frozen (actually done really well) & Moana (Moana arguably got the best crowd reaction).
My personal favourite moment was the firework launched from the side in time with the projection of the arrow fired from Brave...a big wow moment for me.
I wonder what the price difference is compared to Wishes....their seemed to me to be treble the pyro?
It was just so well done & I hope it sticks around for the 50th.

It is currently ranked as the #1 show in Orlando. Trip Advisor loves it.
No surprise it's over USO! It won't surpass HEA but when does Ignite open at SWO? I haven't seen it on June's calendar.

I finally got to see it a couple nights ago. It was truly amazing and I was blown away by the technology and spectacle of it all. But I couldn't help think about how much I'm gonna miss seeing Wishes which has been my favorite part of Disney for a while. Wishes was elegant and sweet and always tugged on my heart strings. It's the music that I am going to miss the most. This new show is awesome but I wish they could have figured out a way to sneak in some subtle call backs to Wishes just to honor it but I'm probably in the minority on that. I will be hoping they bring back Wishes for a night here or there or for special events in the future but I do think the new show is wonderful and I can't wait to see it again.

I always wondered about this. The old fireworks displays (Sorcery in the Sky, etc) were basically "Best of Disney" clip shows, but now I see people complaining that the nighttime spectaculars don't have enough "story." Like I need some amorphous "grandma" narrating my Disney music pyro extravaganzas...

Seeing the show for the first time Saturday night, and I couldn't be more excited...but for those who miss Wishes, am I the only one who has an inkling that it will come back for "limited time engagements" in a couple years? Maybe just for a month or so during slower months to drive crowds? They've got a cash cow right now driving crowds into (the) MK, but at some point I can see them bringing back a cheaper show for a quick engagement. (All of this is pure speculation - salt isn't a small enough increment to weigh this post)

I wish the show had more classic Disney music because it's a castle park, but I agree that it's kind of a high-tech return to Sorcery in the Sky.
It's also nice to not hear about MAGICAL WISHES OF MAGICAL DREAMS OF WISHING MAGIC IF I BELIEVE over and over again.
Theres' a 10 second instrumental salute to "When You Wish Upon a Star", plus a star in the tower that Tiana is wishing upon with her own thematic version of the song.
The evening star is shining bright
So make a wish and hold on tight
There's magic in the air tonight
And anything can happen
So make a wish and hold on tight
There's magic in the air tonight
And anything can happen
No, you'll get a real life grandma standing next to you telling her 7 year old grandchild everything that everyone is seeing.
Once Upon a Time, the non-pyro projection show has all the classics. But, depending on your age, these can be considered classic.
"Touch the Sky," Brave
"Friend Like Me," Aladdin
"Can You Feel the Love Tonight," The Lion King
"I Can Go the Distance," Hercules

Ignite is scheduled this Saturday according to SWOs calendar. Questioning if it will be worth going to see.

I'm the correct age, but the home video releases called the older ones "classics."Theres' a 10 second instrumental salute to "When You Wish Upon a Star", plus a star in the tower that Tiana is wishing upon with her own thematic version of the song.
