Crowds were very quiet this Wed. However, the 7:45 PM Fireworks were cancelled due to "windy conditions at high elevations." I'll tell you...the air was PERFECTLY still (trees weren't moving at ALL) and people were ANGRY after they announced it. No one could understand why they cancelled the show and they gave only gave final notice right up until 7:45 (park closed at 8PM). Therefore, people burned an hour or more sitting around doing nothing when they could have been riding. They also closed just about all of the Fantasyland attractions an hour and a half before the fireworks started due to the scheduled show.
Has anyone been thru this fireworks cancellation from high winds before? I think it's an excuse and that they just didn't want to burn the tens of thousands in fireworks on a small crowd. Again, people were MAD. I saw many guests yelling at managers around the park after this happened. The pixie dust was running a little low this evening. I was, luckily, able to squeeze in one ride on Space Mt. in the 15 minutes I had before they closed everything down.
On a positive note, I saw the Small World Holiday presentation which was pretty darn cool. A must see, IMHO. No snow falling anywhere but the projections were really neat. All of the Xmas decor looks nice but I prefer the non-holiday music being piped in throughout the parks. All the Xmas music gets a little annoying after 6 or so hours of it. I'll take the non Xmas remixed version of When you Wish Upon a Star anyday over what I'm hearing in the parks now.
Just a short report from the parks. I'm happy I'm here.
