Who Hears Disney Fireworks???

Post by DLRFantasmic!Dan » Sun Apr 08, 2007 11:40 pm

I live less than 4 miles away from the Magic Kingdom.. all I ever hear is BOOMBOOM.


But I do get to see them every night from my balcony.

Only in my dreams, Dan... <sigh> My next trip is 8-1/2 months away. I'm sure it might get old after a while, but right now living close enough to hear the fireworks sounds like the coolest thing!

We hear them every weekend (if not see them when we're there) - we live in Fullerton, so it's not that far, plus we also hear the fireworks from Angel Stadium (whenever the Angels win) as well as get the noise from Fullerton H.S. stadium for the 4th of July...

Face it - if you're in the O.C. metro/L.A. flatlands the sound just carries pretty well :rolleyes:

I heard them last year in Fantasyland @ DL. My daughter slept through them.

You know when you watched the fireworks too much when..........

- you know the words of the song

- you sit in DTD parking lot watching the fireworks WHILE sitting in your car listening to the music timining it EXACTLY as it is BLASTING from your iPod that you downloaded from the CD.

- You do hand gestures to match the firewords.

Please tell me you're not one of those people who walk through the Esplinade doing Mickey's choreography when they play the Fantasmic music near the gates :p:

- you notice when Pyro has run short of something and substituted one shell type for another.

or...

- you notice when Pyro messes up and uses the wrong shell type.

Which one depends on how cynical I'm feeling that night.
