Fireworks Shortage?

[Andrew Bichard]

I read this in the New York Times

Apparently an explosion that destroyed 20 fireworks warehouses in China three months ago will possibly create shortages of fireworks in the United States this Fourth of July. China has also banned transport of explosives through Beijing during the Olympics.

Apparently, a large percentage of the fireworks used in the USA are sourced in China, and companies that don't have enough stockpiled are likely to run out.

I assume that Disney has sufficient supplies.

I was under the impression that Disney manufactured their own fireworks behind the scenes, no?

I thought that might be the case. Thanks for the info.
