OMG What did they DO?

Post by February » Sat Jul 03, 2010 1:47 pm

So I've just been looking around the WDW site for the first time in awhile and I stumble across this whole "Nightastic" thing.

Um, what?

Where did Wishes go? Why are they using a song that the main lyric is a girl shouting "Go!" over and over (it made me want to go, alright, as in LEAVE...)

Who could possibly have thought that turning the fireworks show at the MK over the summer into a commercial was a good idea? Oh yeah, maybe the same genius who turned the TTA into a commercial too!

Am I somehow missing the magic here? Tell me I'm missing the magic...please, show me the magic? *trembling nervously*.

It might just be me, but I love the current fireworks. I'm kind of hoping they stay after Aug.

So tell me about them! Do they use traditional disney music or music composed just for them (like Illuminations?) speaking of- can anyone tell me if Reflections of Earth is still going on at Epcot?

I would so very much love to see that with both eyes one more time before it goes away if it's still there.

I understand it is largely the pirate and princess party fireworks with a modified storyline. I Cant wait to see it in August.

AMAZING. Knocks 'Wishes' out of the water.

The perimeter fireworks are awesome, the effects are great (especially the castle scene), but I like Wishes music better.


Parties of 33 should consider dividing their parties into two groups of 16 and a half each.

Thank you! Just gathered the whole fam around the computer to watch and everyone was impressed. Loved the music from Pirates- though I still find Wishes more emotionally engaging, this was gorgeous.

THIS is exactly the kind of thing I fought to get my sight back for. Thank you so much for the link, Delsdad.

I want to get on a plane this instant, I tell you... I am so homesick.

I just love them. They remind me of the fireworks they did for the Pirates and Princess parties they used to have.
