  • We are going through how Magic Kingdom’s firework spectacular Happily Ever After is able to create its emotional, inspirational, and captivating show! We go through where the projectors are for the projection mapping, where all of the pyrotechnics launch from, where all of the spotlights are, and what types of fireworks are launched. Together we uncover how engineering and artistry combine every night in Walt Disney World to create this beautiful fireworks show!

    I actually was told by one of the staff that Disney is one of the top 3 purchasers of pyrotechnics along with the military. On average, their fireworks cost roughly up to around $55k a night. During their special events like Halloween or Spring Festivals when they do extra special shows like their villain themed shows it can go up to $65k a night. For their biggest shows on special occasions like new years and independence day, they can cost up to about $70k or more a night in fireworks.

    actually, the lights mentioned at 4:24 are not used for happily ever after. they used to be used during wishes, hallowishes, and holiday wishes and during holidays. the lights used in happily ever after are actually right about where the picture was taken, because if those lights were used they would frequently get blocked by trees.

    • @IsaacCarlson

      Wotso Videos if you have instagram i can dm you a picture. the ones in the round plastic balls are clay paky scenius profiles, and they don’t do beam effects. the ones in the show are elation proteus hybrids (they do beam effects), and they are next to the pathway linking fantasyland and liberty square.

    Happily Ever After is simply the goat of nighttime spectaculars. I saw it again last night and it just is indescribable in its perfection. It makes me sob every time I watch it. Whatever idiot decided to try and replace it with anything, especially enchantment, should be ashamed of themselves. So happy that HEA is back for good. It truly is the best nighttime show of all time.

    Interesting! I’ve seen all of it on UA-cam and I enjoyed them so much. Not only Disney did this fireworks shows, outside of Disney, New York City had fireworks elsewhere. I’ve been to 4th of July fireworks every year to see what it looks like comparing to this, because of the effects, color and displays, they’re looked the same. And then, COVID-19 hit where I wasn’t able to go to watch the fireworks this year, so I watched it near my house in the neighborhood. New York City had illegal fireworks that brought them back for the first time since the 1990’s where they set them off in so many neighborhoods during the 4th of July and prior to the 4th would be mid to late June where fireworks were set them off where it can spot them.

From the other clip it kinda looks like the output monitor window in Resolume which is often used with MA boards since you can control it through Artnet but im not completely certain

    I remember getting hit by ash one time from the fireworks. I looked down and said “oh look ash”. The cast member that was next to me then started to “freak out” and asked me at least 6 times if I was ok and needed anything. I just shrugged and said that I was fine. She walked me to the closet restroom (after the show ended) where I washed the area on my skin where the ash landed, and stayed there until I came out and showed her I was fine. Sometimes ash can still be hot and can burn someone when landing on their skin so she just wanted to make sure I didn’t end up burnt. But even if I did end up burnt I wouldn’t really mind because I was to involved in the show

    Could you do a theory/video on why Fear couldn't remove the idea from Riley's head in the movie Inside Out? In stories, shows and movies you always see the cliche of kids running away from home but the kid always gets scared and runs home or gets home sick. So why couldn't fear remove the lightbulb (idea) out of fear? Or at least why couldn't he and sadness remove it together?

    Wondering if there exists a spot somewhere on Disney world property where setting off those huge fireworks will be seen from their other parks (Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Animal Kingdom). If they synchronize, they can have one set of fireworks going off for 2 or 3 (maybe 4?) of their parks’ nighttime spectacular. May be a more efficient way of using those huge fireworks and would definitely cut costs down. Any thoughts?
