![]() The fact that the show is the same night after night after night means that if you can be there for a couple of nights, you understand what the show is, where the bursts are going to be and you can do the timing to kind of get the shots that you want, rather than in a lot of other cities when they shoot off fireworks for New Year’s Eve or some other event and you don’t know what’s coming and when. Illuminations is probably going to be going. William: I think that one’s going away though. At Epcot it has been Illuminations for decades now. And there are different shows, but the nice part is at Magic Kingdom for example, most of the time it’s going to be the same show. William: Yeah there are three parks that are going to have fireworks and those are going to be Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios. So when you go to Disney World you get an opportunity – actually more than one because you have a choice of parks and different shows to shoot – every night of the year.

That would be something like Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and if you’re in the USA, Fourth of July or something similar in different countries.

I mean even any of the special event fireworks tend to cover a wider range, so you might want to shoot a little bit wider if you are wanting to capture everything. Lee: Yeah, you get a lot more peripheral bursts. We were photographing Magic Kingdom for Independence Day and it seemed like we saw bursts going all around on both ends of the park. what do they call it? It’s like an add on to the regular show. William: And the nice part is Disney seems to put on some really great fireworks every night of the year, but if we go on Independence Day or New Year’s Eve it seems to be just kind of like a little extra better.
