Are all Fantasy in the Sky fireworks the same?

[DisneyWishes14]

We will be staying at GF on 12/30 and would like to watch Fantasy in the Sky from the resort. I'm just curious if the shows at 6:30 pm and 11:50 pm are the same? I thought I read somewhere that the later show had more fireworks (or perhaps that's the 11:50 pm show on Dec. 31?). The 6:30 pm show would work better for DS12, but if the later show has more pyrotechnics, I may try to keep him up!

The only difference the last two years has been that the early show is the “180 degree” version while the late show is “360 degree” version. The 360 degree version utilizes an island launch point in the middle of the Seven Seas Lagoon that effectively “simulcasts” the larger fireworks from the primary behind the MK launch point. So from places like Poly, GF, CR, or the TTC, you get a more impressive / all encompassing (and materially louder) fireworks show for the late version.

But other than that, same show, same NYE countdown for both shows on both nights, etc.

Hope that helps!

Thank you so much! That's really helpful! I'm going to try to keep him up for the 11:50 pm show!
