Just to warn you all going to the party tomorrow the winds are returning tomorrow and Saturday. I don't know how bad the winds will be at night
Last year, we had really high winds at higher elevations during the party that I went to. I realized the fireworks probably weren't going to happen about an hour before they were scheduled to go off. I was watching the flags on the cranes over SWGE and those were whipping around like crazy, so if the cranes are still there and you can see the flags on the top (I haven't been to DLR since May), that would probably be a really good indicator to watch throughout the night.Do you have a reliable weather spot that spits out forecasted wind speeds? I will be at the party on the 23rd and I was planning on camping out in front of the castle to take pics of the fireworks. If there are heavy winds forecasted I will probably just assume the fireworks will not go off and spend my time elsewhere, thanks.
Does anyone have a feel for what the general wind speeds have to be before they shut the fireworks down? Above 10 mph, above 15 mph? Most of next week looks to be in the 8-10 mph range.
Those cranes have unfortunately been gone for almost 6 months now. They are using lower profile cranes that are completely lowered at the end of the work day.Last year, we had really high winds at higher elevations during the party that I went to.

I love those Hurc shoes, so cute!
We use the National Weather Service webpage for the San Diego office. All you really need to look for is Red Flag Warnings for high winds in the Anaheim area. If you see any RFWs -- that's your clue that fireworks will be iffy, at best, unless the warning gets removed. If the RFWs are still posted closer to showtime, we make plans to do something else that night. If you decide to camp out at the castle anyway, be looking for the test balloon -- it goes up about 10-15 minutes (?) before showtime. You'll be able to tell by the speed and direction of the balloon's flight whether the show might not go on.Do you have a reliable weather spot that spits out forecasted wind speeds?..
I think Riley adds quite an elegant touch to the wig -- too bad she can't be part of the costume and go to MHP!... My cat Riley decided to help. Thought y'all would get a kick out of it. This also happened several times while working on the wig...
(Wig is for an Aurora costume, by the way, that she'll be wearing. Not sure exactly which party she'll be going to. But I think one next week?)

Where were the photographers with the magic shots located in TT and by the river? Good to know about the characters on the carousel and in PFF! We'll have to look for those at our next party.... We did the Pre-Party at Toontown and stopped for magic shot pictures in costume before heading out to wait for Jack & Sally. ... Afterward we did magic shot photos by the river and fog. My DD was thrilled to find out later she got a key shot from the upcoming Nutcracker movie...
