"Remember" is the best thing Imagineering has done in years

[€uroMeinke]

I love it too - Best Fireworks show - ever.

But, wasn't it the work of Disney Entertainment - Not Immagineering?, or did those folks finally get annexed?

You mean like "Light Magic"?

Hell yes - just ask Moonie. As iSm said, if you get the right spot, you're in for a quasi-religious Disneyland experience

It's the F-Spot.

I'm not generally a fan of fireworks shows. I grew up with what was then (I have no idea about now) one of the largest annual 4th of July fireworks shows in the country. Everything else always seemed pretty lame in comparison, including Disneyland shows. Fireworks were generally a good time to do things while everybody else was distracted.

But Remember... is the best I've ever seen as a show. And is unusual for me in that I would have no problem watching it again regularly (though I don't think I have actually sat through it in almost a year) since I am very rarely ever at Disneyland with time to just sit around watching fireworks.

Indeed it is an honor fit for a King, or I guess a Queen.

While grovelling in thankfulness for such an honor is generally discouraged inside the park (something to do with live animals walking the street), a nice cup of White Hot Chocolate presented to the host does seem to appease the spirits. Especially if the night is a tad chilly.

Right between the E-Spot and the G-Spot

You're quite right. Creative Entertainment is responsible for parades, live shows, fireworks, etc. Imagineering designs the venues, rides and attractions. They've worked closely together a number of times, particularly with the holiday editions of Small World and Mansion. But they are two different departments.

Their respective cultures are quite different as well. I know first hand that they don't always see eye to eye, or "ear to ear" as the case may be. Rumours of their merging have been around forever, but it would be a messy process.

I agree! The half I saw (before it shut down due to high winds aloft) were excellent! It was quite a surprize.

I saw it from the Main Street Station as well. It was interesting to see everything at once. There were things I missed when sitting in front of the castle that I didn't even know happends. But I'm not sure I'd see it from there again, just too far away to enjoy it as much.

Next I want to try the Dumbo queue view, as CP recommended. Sounds grand!

My Grandmother, who I th ink some of you have met, is about 84 and has been a disney fan since day 1. In her own words she has stated that Remember was THE best fireworks display she has EVER seen.

I agree and for me it was really important to see the display from many different areas of the park. I think its a must.

For example:
- Front of the castle
- Coke Corner
- Middle of Main Street by the Arcade
- Main St. Station
- New Orleans Square
- On Big THunder Mtn.
- Small World
- Dumbo
- Space Mtn Que.
- The parking Structure
- Between DLR and DCA
