Go forth and have a fifth on the Fourth. Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend, especially those that can sit at SAB and look for those "Sunken Treasures".

Happy 4th everyone.

Does anyone else find themselves horribly disappointed with their local fireworks after seeing Wishes at WDW? LOL. Nothing is ever as good as Wishes. *Sigh*

 

[jlundeen]

Yep...we don't even go to the local fireworks....

BTW, for those of us who are not lucky enough to be there right now, Disney will be live streaming their fireworks tonight from MK on their Blog... here's the link for more info...

I as thinking the same thing last night. I also wished there was music along with the fireworks.

I wonder what WDW budget is for fireworks for a year?

Hi
We just moved out Christmas trip from WL to YC! The construction possibility (though if you read the threads it is going on now) got me looking and now we are really excited! We will be there from 12/20-126.

Happy 4th Everybody. Looking forward to seeing all you Disers at the Y&B tomorrow and Monday ... although I caught a bug and am not feeling very good. I started antibiotics today so hopefully I'll be feeling better for the rest of our Disney vacation with Princess Lily which picks up on Tuesday with a morning at Epcot following by lunch with the princesses at Norway.

Happy 4th!!!!!

Teena: I hope you get to feeling better ASAP!!!!

I have seen estimates that Wishes alone is between $50k - $80k per night. That's the "normal" Wishes. Throw in the other Wishes, like tonight, and that would be more. So say Wishes is ~$65k per night and Illimunations and Fantasmic total ~$60k per night, that's a whopping $45M per year for fireworks.

I remember reading (can't recall where) that the Walt Disney Company (all the theme parks, here and abroad, and the cruise line) is the largest consumer of fireworks in the world.

On the last day of the class trip, I was about to share this little factoid with the kids right before Wishes was set to begin. I started my comment by asking "So who is sick of Dee's random Disney facts?"

And a little girl walking ahead of us looked back and raised her hand high. Pretty funny!

We don't go to ours either. It's so lame compared to WDW the kids refuse.
