From 14 barges, at the direction of 67 computers, erupt 2,800 fireworks shells and hundreds of gallons of liquid propane fires. Each shell's launch, accomplished through an estimated 15,000 lines of computer code, matches a note of music in another custom-written score.

Disney has its own way to gauge the results, of course.
