Spectro & Fireworks Always Go Together?

[WDWLinda]

Hi,
Do the fireworks in MK always follow the Spectro parade? For Nov. 4, when we'll be there, Spectro is listed at 6:30, but nothing at all about the fireworks. Also, what route does the parade take? Any suggestions on best viewing spot? I've seen something about this already, but can't find the original thread.

Thanks!

I believe the Fireworks are nightly at park closing time but spectro is only occasionally especially during low season. I think they goofed when they posted the November hours events and entertainment because no fireworks are listed for the entire month even during Thanksgiving. This may be due to the fireworks changing from Fantasy in the Sky to Wishes. I would rest assurred though that you will be able to view fireworks on the same night as the Spectro magic.

I hope that they have this in December----we LOVE spectro.

Usually they have Spectro on Saturday and sometimes Wednesday in the first part of December. Fireworks most nights.

This reminds me of one of those logic questions we used to have on those aptitude tests: If A is true, then B must be true, but if B is true, then A may not be true?
During the off-season, which is a majority of the year, if the park stays open past dusk long enough to have a SpectroMagic parade, then the fireworks show will almost always follow an hour later. But if the park does not stay open late enough (~7 pm), there may only be a fireworks show at park closing, and no parade. On nights like Saturdays when the park stays open very late (~10 pm), then there will be 2 Spectro parades with a fireworks show sandwiched between them. I hope that made sense!

They do not have fireworks every night. When we were there in March, they only had them once the entire week we were there. Peak season usually guarantees one of each per night, but that can't be counted on. My guess for Nov though is that they just don't want to officially put Wishes on there yet, they want to wait and see how things go up until then, with testing it and having it run for a little while. It also may not be officially announced, which would also keep it off the schedule.

I was just there Friday the 5th thru yesterday and there was only fireworks one night Monday night and NO spectromagic at all the whole time I was there. However on Monday night people were sitting all along the parade route waiting, no one bothered to tell them there was NOT a parade going to happen that night. I don't think they were sitting all along the street to see fireworks.

They usually have more fireworks during the winter months because it gets dark earlier and they don't have to keep the park open late to show them. When I was there last December, they had them every night, even MVMCP nights at regular closing. In December it gets dark between 5:00 & 5:30, so they can close at 6:00 or 7:00 and still have them. In September, it doesn't get dark until 8:00 so they would have to stay open later to show them.
