So do we have any idea when this will premier?
Well, for this show to happen is to have a show at all. Right now Disney is not doing any nighttime shows. I think we need to get to the point where Disney brings back nighttime fireworks and stuff first before we even consider when this will debut.So do we have any idea when this will premier?
They definitely appear to be building stuff backstage stillSo do we have any idea when this will premier?
Good thinkingThis is probably the first night time "spectacular" that will return to WDW. The fact viewing is all around the lagoon mean physical distancing is possible with the reduced park capacity. This is just like SeaWorld doing their fireworks on the lake-- guests can easily spread out. The biggest challenge will be the guests exiting at the same time to return to their hotels and the crush on the transportation system. That seems to be the biggest issue with the parks (especially MK) right now with the crush of people all leaving at the end of the day. Maybe there's a way to institute some kind of virtual queue/reservation system for the transportation network to alleviate that and spread out guest departures from the parks...
Looks like this might be true since work has seemingly ramped up on barges And fireworks testing was going on last night.This is probably the first night time "spectacular" that will return to WDW.

It was Epcot Forever that they were testing last night though.Looks like this might be true since work has seemingly ramped up on barges And fireworks testing was going on last night.
Correction: "Show elements" will create daytime fountains, not a daytime show. Just fountains. Text of story has been corrected
Driving the barges out every night is so much werkkkkkkCan't say I'm a huge fan of that idea.
Either they're going to be running the fountains continuously (in which case they'll be blocking the views of pavilions from across the lagoon, as that concept art shows), or for large periods of time there are just going to be these ugly industrial structures sitting out in the water.
I just hate that they wont do anything periodically...they're just kind of onThese barges *are* absolutely huge, so I can see why they’d want to leave them out there. But it definitely will block views, which is unfortunate.
I imagine it will be like the Lake Eola fountain in downtown Orlando and cycle through a programmed series of patterns. I think most people will like it.I just hate that they wont do anything periodically...they're just kind of on
