Why on earth did Magic Kingdom stop presenting the "Fantasy in the Sky" and "4th of July" shows in 360°? The new version doesn't encompass MK and it's bad

I agree, I missed the great show on July 3rd this year. I thought maybe they had the great one on the 4th. I guess not.

They were definitely scaled down from previous years. Another budget cut. Sigh

They are still “360” so to speak, but since these special shows returned after Covid they’ve utilized fewer launch points surrounding MK, which I agree has been an unfortunate downgrade. Still impressive shows though, if not short by relative standards.

Note the 6:30pm Fantasy in the Sky show 12/30 and 12/31 has never been ‘360’, it’s just the 11:50pm show.

A visual…. Pre-Covid….


Post Covid…

Yes, I loved the previous version of 11:50 PM. It was more magical. I hope it returns someday
