There should be laser installation soon, too.I just noticed all the new tracker spotlights they've installed around the castle. I'm guessing they'll be part of this as well.
The DVC show from last night is what the park needs. So many fireworks, really upbeat and exciting with great music. It is the perfect ending to the day. I get that the projections are cheap for Disney to put on, but save them for the projection show. Doing a projection show with almost no fireworks and then putting on a firework show that is mostly projections right after is just silly.
As much as I am against the IP being used so much, the Frozen fireworks at HS is by far the greatest firework show they have put on (to the public daily) in recent memory because of the insane amount of fireworks that went off during the short show perfectly timed to the music.
EDIT: This is an incredible video taken from the fireworks last night by TimTracker. Yes, there is no story, but it touches on SO many Disney movies both old and new, never spends to much time on any one and is so full of energy with very little projection. This is a nighttime show you remember simply because of how much is going on and all the different colors and types of fireworks.
A reduction in shells doesn't bother me. Disney Dreams in Paris is quite literally the best castle show I've seen and that is less firework heavy than previous shows. The Paris anniversary show should be interesting too, not that I get to see it till October!
Talking with an industry friend tonight, he confirmed the "more projection heavy" rumors. Which to me begs the question: what about Cali Grill, Top of the World, and the various fireworks cruises? The first two were designed to offer a view of the fireworks--I don't see projections being as powerful a motivator. Ditto trying to watch video on the Castle from Seven Seas.
"Disney iz a business!!!" One that just cut thousands in nightly revenue to save a couple hundred a night on shells?
The show is 6 minutes longer than Wishes. Common logic says that it should have more shells, so if it's the same, then that's already a fail.There still is plenty of fireworks left. Since the show is longer it'll feel as if there less shells gen though it's about the same.

Unless we're getting World Of Color level water jets and fireballs that shoot hundreds of feet into the air, I don't want it.True, but there are new effects that wishes didn't have
The DL 60th fireworks were great and mixed projection with fireworks great. Those were some amazing fireworks, the projections were mostly an added bonus, making you feel immersed into the show (watching it on main street with every building and the castle projected onto was a great experience).True, but there are new effects that wishes didn't have

Luckily the MK fireworks have so many viewing spots that are synched up every night as well as packages, I imagine it will still have a good amount of pyroThe DL 60th fireworks were great and mixed projection with fireworks great.

I like good usage of projection in a fireworks show... I just hope that this show remains (primarily) a fireworks show and doesn't stray too far into what Once Upon a Time is.
In just a few weeks, the new fireworks show “Happily Ever After” will debut at Magic Kingdom Park with more lasers, lights and projections than ever before - not to mention contemporary versions of popular Disney songs.
