New "Mickey's Mix Magic" Fireworks and Projection Show featuring EDM Coming to Disneyland Park in January 2019

"Disneyland has yet to announce the new show, but it is expected to do so around Mickey’s birthday on November 18th."

I will wait for confirmation from Disney to believe anything. Granted...Even confirmation from Disney doesn't mean anything (Hmm...Main Street Theater).

This part is interesting as they will have different offerings / versions of it:

"On weekends, the show will feature pyrotechnics, but during the week (Monday through Thursday) it will be a projection-only show."

That has been rumored for quite some time now about pyrotechnics only on weekends at Disneyland. I think wdwnt is right about this.

We'll find out soon if Disney officially announces it because Mickey's birthday is about 2 weeks away.

Very true...With everything that has been rumored for sometime being in this article, I really wouldn't be surprised if this is confirmed. I just wish someone wouldn't say that it's basically confirmed and then at the end of the article say that it isn't.

do you know if the restrictions at DLR for how late they can have the fireworks differ on the weekends vs the weekdays? I know it is much more of an issue in DLR than WDW as far as if the fireworks happen or not

That I am not sure about. Maybe someone else on the boards know.

ok, just curious - just thinking if something happens and they can't have it that weekend - that is a long time between shows .... like, more pressure for them to actually go off on the weekends so wondering if there is a greater chance of it happening

Really wish these were spread out more. We are there the next week and I don't really care about any of our narrators, or know who some of them even are.

Liberty Tree Tavern at the Magic Kingdom Now Offering Weekly Specials

This is something so simple in concept, I can't believe it has taken this long for Disney to do.
I know cooking for gazillion guests every day is not an easy thing. You find that food supply makes it tough to offer certain foods all the time. That's why a little variety in a weekly special dish makes so much sense.
Having a weekly special is a good way to let the kitchen experiment with new dishes. It gives the guests a little variety which is nice.

Where I think the disney dining plans popularity had killed off a lot of creativity from the kitchens, I think the trend has reversed. Dining plans seem to decreasing in popularity, and in turn that is allowing the restaurants to start to bloom again with more creative offerings.

I agree with the restaurants trying to offer more creative offerings. We are seeing a rise in more seasonal menus as well as some of the higher dinning experiences having menus that change on a quarterly basis. For example in March the Flying fish had one of the best Wagu Steaks I have ever had, by the time I was back in June it was off the menu, but I think it is back on again...

In saying that I hope we see more weekly specials from the restaurants, I understand they prob will not be added to the My Disney Experience Apps because of how quickly they change, but for us who like to pick a meal when we get to the restaurant and now weeks before, its nice to see something you didnt know they served.

I am sure someone that is more knowledgeable can correct me, but I believe the fireworks have to be completed by 10pm. During Mickey's Halloween Party last week, the fireworks were at 9:35. Other times when I was there, fireworks were about the same time.

The problem they have at Disneyland is the wind conditions. If the wind, at the higher altitudes, is strong, they will cancel the show. But this means that they need to do the show the next night or so since everything is loaded. I don't believe they can keep the fireworks loaded for too long. For example, one night during a Mickey's Halloween Party they couldn't shoot off the fireworks. So they ran them the next night for the regular guests. If they change to only do the fireworks on the weekend, then maybe they will target for Friday and Saturday, with Sunday being the backup if the weather/wind does not cooperate.

Not sure if it is due to the dining plans or not, but I do think all the added restaurants at DS are forcing Dis restaurants in parks and resorts to up their game. That is a good thing. We stayed at OKW last trip and the ability to get to DS was a big reason why, and also why we are going to stay there next spring.

Now if only the Riveria Restaurants can up the game for the Gondola side of Epcot/Studios.
