New Disney-MGM Studios Nighly Fireworks Spectacular

Greetings from Walt Disney World! The press fireworks took place at the Disney-MGM Studios on May 4th. (The press show was tested on April 30th)

THANK YOU for posting what that was. We saw the test, and it looked in-freaking-credible. I was so impressed that I had to know what it was, so we stopped by in GR and the CM tried to tell us that it was Fantasmic. Uhhh, no. If that is the same show they will be showing every night, I will be spending a lot more nights at MGM. Wow.

That's no problem...

And yes, I saw it as well. Awesome show, eh?

Too cool. Is it gonna be movie themed????

**captsmith84** · 05-01-2005, 09:42 PM

Yes, of course!

sounds exciting

right when people were talking about how MGM is missing something like that

I've always wondered though

how does the resort running two fireworks hows work out?

Any photos, footage?

**Labuda** · 05-02-2005, 06:20 AM

Any idea when it will start? I need to rearrange my schedule a bit if it starts on my trip this week!

hehe

The first public showing I believe is the 4th.

**captsmith84** · 05-02-2005, 07:27 AM

I'd also like to comment on what the people at WDWmagic are saying. For example, Montu said:
"What he saw was a rehearsal for the 50th press event pryo that they're going to shoot off later this week.

There will NOT be a nightly fireworks show at the Disney/MGM Studios."

I have been assured by more CMs in the park then I can count that the show will be nightly, and the first public performance will be at the press event.

We'll see what happens though.

That would be a welcomed addition to MGM. I love fireworks!!!

**Labuda** · 05-02-2005, 07:54 AM

Well, no chance for me to see it on the 4th, I think, since I'll be eating at CG at 2100.

BUT, I'll try to catch it the 5th or 6th. Also, the stupid park closes at 4 pm on the 4th, come to think of it.

Great info. Thanks!

Yes, I know the park closes early on the 4th... though anyone can usually get into the parking lot. LOL. You can see a lot of it from Epcot as well.

WDWmagic is worring me about being wrong about the whole thing. But being that Guest Relations flat out denied it & said it was Fantasmic! when mistryl asked about it, and all the CMs are reporting to me that it is going to be a new fireworks show, then I suppose it's probably true. I guess it's possible for it to just be for the Press Event IF the various CMs I asked in the park were lying. But I find it odd that Guest Relations told mistryl that it was Fantasmic! rather than telling mistryl it was testing for the press event.

I think there's a good chance this time that WDWmagic might be wrong and that I'm right...

We'll see what happens I suppose.
