What better way to start the new
year than exciting new fireworks and a visit from good friends! As you know from reading our blogs, Magic Kingdom
and Epcot have had nightly fireworks for years.
Hollywood Studios has had them occasionally for special events or
holidays (though we’ve never seen them). However, starting at the
end of 2015 for a
"limited time", there have been nightly fireworks at Hollywood Studios called “Symphony in the Stars: A Galactic
Spectacular”. Set to a Star Wars theme and timed to the music
of John Williams, these fireworks are absolutely amazing!! There are
pyrotechnics we’ve never seen before, and especially with the
musical score, the Star Wars saga comes alive. For
some reason I didn’t take my camera the first time we saw them in January so
these photos are from a couple of subsequent visits that month. Yep, we’ve seen them a few times now, and
pictures just can’t do them justice! (Remember, you can click on any photo to enlarge.)
One of those times was with our
good friends, Chip and Jill, who stayed with us a couple of nights on their way to
spend a couple of weeks at their timeshare.
You may remember them as our co-hosts in Yellowstone. Since they were here on a weekend, didn’t
have Disney tickets, and we couldn’t use ours
anyway, we found another way for
them to see these new fireworks. We
found a place to park near the Boardwalk area, walked over to Hollywood
Studios, sat ourselves on some benches along Bay Lake just outside the
entrance, and waited for the show to
begin. Even
though you can’t hear the
musical score from there (which does add to the experience), they still found them amazing
and spectacular! Their visit
was way too short, but we still enjoyed spending time together, catching up on life,
sharing meals, stories, and laughter.
The end time for “Symphony in the Stars” has continually been extended, and
now they are due to be enhanced this summer adding lasers, light projections,
fire, and other special effects. They are
already something not to be missed so can’t even imagine how much more
spectacular they are going to be! Have
we mentioned that they are simply ahhh-MAZ-ing!?! These are definitely our new favorite Disney fireworks!
