Friday, April 14: the only day of our four day trip that it rained. It rained hard most of the afternoon, and sprinkled off & on during the evening, with a bitter breeze all day.
The fireworks show was scheduled to start at 9:25pm. The crowds start packing into Mainstreet at 8:00pm.
All the cast members working on Mainstreet between 8:00pm - 9:24pm were asked the same question every twelve seconds by hundreds of different guests, "Are the fireworks going to be cancelled." Their friendly response: "There will be an announcement over the park system as to the status of the fireworks. A committee will make the final decision as to whether the show will go on."
9:25pm: announcement over the park system
"Due to high winds, the fireworks will be delayed."
9:35pm: announcement over the park system
"Due to the high winds, the fireworks show will be cancelled this evening."
9:36pm: The crowd groans. 40% of the children start crying. 60% of the crowd starts heading towards the exit gates, grumbling with disappointment after fighting the wet weather all afternoon. 100% of the show performers, employees, and park guests were safe from any injuries cased by blowing fires, sparks, and cables.
9:37pm: Wrote down another grand day at Disneyland, even in the rain.
