Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 The TCD gang popped over to the MK on July 3rd to watch the 4th of July fireworks. We expected crowds and carefully chose our spot so that we wouldn't behind Ipad guy or a KOS (Kids on Shoulders) guy. Or course, that is wishful thinking these days. Right before the fireworks started, a KOS guy showed up out of nowhere. And, then the guy right in front of us produced two phones which he used to simultaneously record the fireworks show. I've never seen that done before: TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kadancer 82 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 The video thing really gets me. Put the electronic device down and experience the event in person. Otherwise, stay home and watch it on TV. Maybe I'm just an old fuddy-duddy. Tony 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 And fireworks all look the same.....and I've never said to myself, let me watch a fireworks display over again. Especially one that someone with much better equipment than I will undoubtedly post on youtube by tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 How did it look from the Fort or other resorts? Were any Fiends out there? We watched it streaming on the 4th. They did a decent job, they have steadily been improving with their broadcasts. It didn't look like there were a lot of themed projections on the castle, just displays of other fireworks? ( we were watching it on a laptop 10 feet away so it was hard to see small details) I saw a picture taken from the Poly, looked impressive. And what was odd that I found out after the fact, was one of the local Tampa TV stations streamed it, and it was an NBC affiliate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Worst part was getting out on the 3rd, about a half hour after the fireworks. They closed the side exits and had everybody heading out through Main Street. They should have told the multiple tour groups from Uruguay that it is not a good idea to use the middle of Main Street as the gathering spot. They totally blocked the street between the ice cream store and Casey's. It was a mad house until we got past them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, they apparently were directing the crowd that way, as they had the auxiliary exit back by the Buzz exit open. When I saw that, I headed that way. That was a very easy way to get out. I have no doubt that Main Street was impassible. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have no doubt that Main Street was impassible. TCD We were watching from the bridge to Tomorrowland and then headed into Tomorrowland where they were herding people out near Buzz. But in my infinite wisdom, I decided to walk around a while longer and when we were ready to head out they closed that exit near Buzz. We then watched the projection show and then went to head out near Plaza Restaurant. I asked the cast member and he confirmed that everybody was heading out via Main Street. It would have been fine but literally three or four tour group leaders were standing in the middle of Main Street holding flags that said "Uruguay". They had all the teens with them standing across the entire width of Main Street not moving. Everybody leaving the projection show had to squeeze onto the sidewalks. Nobody was happy with them, including cast members trying to get them to move. Once we got past them (around Starbucks) it was smooth sailing. Well worth it though.

fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Very nice! Thanks. We were in Epcot and could see some of the high fireworks from the MK. We love Epcot because that is where the WWIII barge is located now. Love the BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMS of it. You can feel the sound all thru your body. During the last booms the sky is full of little red and white explosions. To me it looked like the area over the lake was filled with confetti. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're right, the sound is amazing. We were planning on trying to see them on the 4th, but we had friends over and didn't make it. Glad we got to the Magic Kingdom on the 3rd though.

We were really hoping to get the beach back..... Yes the walls are up, and you can see from the marina that there is grass and weeds growing on the beach. I have photos of that which I will post on another thread. We are not getting our beach back. The stuff on the other side of the walls will soon be an overgrown mess like River Country was when they let it sit and rot for all those years. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spelling's been going by the wayside for a long time already. Back when my kids were in school ( early 90's), the teachers gave spelling tests, but the grades didn't count. They just corrected the spelling and moved on. Their attitude was: " As long as we can ready the word phonetically, it's fine." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
