We were there and they cut them off about 7 minute in. they actually started them a bit early - immediately after the Fantasmic finish, so they could get as much in as possible before Anaheim shut them down. I'm hoping to call in a review to the podcast.
It was extremely moving and a beautiful display! I thought the song choices were excellent, as they attempted to tell the story of American colonization through it's diverse history of song. I thought the transitioning from the "This is my country" into the American folk selections was wonderful.
I can't wait to see them in their entirety next year. This was the first performance of the new annual 4th of July show (according to the OC Register). It was supposed to be such a detailed and expensive production that they only had one night's performance set up.
People were bummed and some (who don't understand the fact that there are residences so close to the park) were disgruntled, but all in all, the crowd was reasonable. Much more so than if they hadn't seen any fireworks at all!!!
