Ah, but if you watch the MK fireworks from somewhere along the Seven Seas Lagoon (at the Poly or the GF), you get the Light Pageant (which is half ocean-themed and half flag-themed) as soon as the fireworks end. And they send fireworks up around the circumfrence fo the MK. So WDW's at least close.

I think WDW's are close if not as good as a normal DL fireworks, but nowhere near as good as Remember. I doubt I'll a fireworks show as good as Remember in my lifetime.

I never said that Wishes was better than Remember. Apples and oranges.

But you get the Water Pageant. Wonderful in all it's simplicity.

I was on the freeway coming home from my gig right about the same time most shows were starting. It actually worked out well for the most part. I saw an awful lot of fireworks on the way home.

The only drag was stopping at my office on the way back, right as a show about a block away finished up. Big mistake. It took me about 40 minutes to get back to my apartment (which is a distance of less than two miles).

Marla ... I'm sorta glad we didn't know you were there. We tried to scope out the Hub when we arrived, but it was just too crowded. We would totally have taken you up on your offer to watch from there if we'd known about it.

And that would have been an error.


This was a show best seen from Ground Zero. Oh My God!

When I say they threw everything in the book in the air at once, I mean they did it again and again. White flag, right fan, left fan, crackle sky, waterfall sky, 100 simultaneous shells. And then again. And again.

glfrhnsiofnshipehipjhshkl, went my brain.


Oh, and there was this one shell that was the essense of PyroNuclear War - - a tremendous orange fireball that raised a firework mushroom cloud - - a series of ascending, concentric rings of different colors. Jeebus, what the hell was that?!? I barely had time to wonder WTF though, because right at that point they decided to fill the sky with a number of shells equal to the number of shells ever exploded over Disneyland during the last 50 years ... all in the space of 50 seconds!



I have no doubt that "the spot" is perfection for Remember. But for thrown-together Fourth of July Extravaganza, Small World Ground Zero is the pyroMecca!

Gah! Now I was I was over by IASW!!!!! I was already on shiny overload though, my brain may have exploded.

Live, learn and make a note for next year.

We've made that drive down the 405 many-a-time. Fun, but mildly dangerous as everyone (including myself) is being distracted by near constant pyro in all directions.
