Las Posadas Celebration - Epcot Festival of the Holidays 2018

Maybe it's the Chinese trying to put pressure on Disney for some Shanghai concessions...

If it were about cutting costs it would be every night

MisterPenguinDec 09, 2018

So you think that in order to cut costs, someone is making the decision, "Hey, gang, every other day we'll only use half the fireworks."?

jrhwdwDec 09, 2018

Must be supply issues. POE had problems last year. Too bad since this week it was just about back to normal.

spectromagic04Dec 09, 2018

Is this technical difficulties or just cost cutting on fireworks some nights?

peter11435Dec 09, 2018

Holiday tag sucked again tonight.

Change to the Candlelight Processional narrator line-up for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

KkarDec 04, 2018

We were there Sunday and were completed disappointed with the PoE "Finale". Honestly, there really wasn't one. Just a handful of shells going up during the last 15 seconds. Completely unacceptable. We were really embarrassed too, as we brought some first-timers with us and we were totally hyping up the finale prior to the show.

I just got back from WDW - saw 3 Illuminations since it would likely be the last time I'll get to watch. On Tuesday and Wednesday (11/26 and 11/27) the holiday tag's ending was complete, but on Friday (11/30), the ending blast was definitely cut back. It surprised me. (Also surprising: finding out the railing right outside the Odyssey bathrooms are a great place to watch.)
