The "Disney Movie Magic"and "Wonderful World of Animation" projection shows have both fallen off the schedule at Disney's Hollywood Studios beginning today.

"Disney Movie Magic" returned to the park on November 7 2021, and "Wonderful World of Animation" returned on August 2 2021.

It isn't clear if the shows are no longer going be performed, if there is work required on the projection system, or if it is an issue with the online schedule.

Sunset Seasons Greetings, part of the holiday entertainment, continues as normal.

There wouldn't be much Disney could have done differently, FAA did checks and approved the software and hardware that was in use by sky elements in Orlando similar to what processes Dronisos goes through. They weren't just dropping, some of the ones which started failing were flying way outside the safety zone instead of just dropping down as intended. Universal and Disney will likely be waiting to see what the FAA investigation outcome says.

It was alarming to see those downtown Orlando drones just dropping like flys and into an area where people were present. What happen to the laws that said they could not be over people? Maybe that's just a Disney rule? I guess after seeing that Footage at lake Eola Orlando, this is a good rule. Having said that I Disagree this will kill any chance of Drones in use at Luminous or Dak or other WDW. Fireworks have injured cast, exploded on world drive, caused numerous fires on property and there continue to be used. Will this slow down the arrival in order for Disney to be extra diligent, likely! But accidents happen and if Disney wants to add drones, this won't be the reason they stop.

Not really.

I think we all know that Disney would have done a much better job making sure it was all safe, rather than whatever company the city used... Universal pretty publicly has only paused their drones though, so much like the crocodile throughout WDW we could see them return eventually.

There goes any chance of drones being added to Luminous or DAK, if there was a chance in the first place, after that drone incident in downtown Orlando.

Don't they test shows every year?

I'm not sure if they would need to test the NYE show much? I don't think it's changed...

FITS NYE? I would think TDO would work on that before DE 2025.

Does anyone know what Disney was doing last night in terms of fireworks testing? At about 3:45 in the morning I was awoken by the sounds of a fireworks launch, closer to the ones that happened during the Castle show than anything else. I heard a few more over the next 5 minutes before finally getting back to sleep... Not exactly sure what it is about, maybe Enchanted testing for the parties in the new year?

I believe they are hired by different departments but they could potentially do both. Some of the former boardwalk jugglers performed at both the boardwalk and storybook circus for a while.

Actually I saw casting call for both. Hopefully more entertainment is coming. It really isnt that hard to cast for this because in some cases I know people who still live locally and have done those roles previously. C'mon Disney, let's do this!! Marie
