I liked this show. Just imagine for a second on busy nights: movie Magic, Star Wars, this, Pixar music and Fantasmic! What a lineup.
Didn't they have to end this show half-way through December last year because it was so bad?
I was talking to a DHS park manager last year. She explained that they originally replaced Galactic Fireworks with BAM! rather than have both in the same night because they didn't have enough time to reload the fireworks. However, they did manage a way to figure out how to reload in an hour, so, they started to run both the same night.

Has this been officially announced? I can't find it anywhere, curious to see if it will be running the nights I have planned in HS.
It's of been officially announced on the Disney website on the link in the beginning of this thread but no other information like time or changes has been posted yet
Still waiting to hear more , i want to be done with itinerary

Because some thought "bam" meant the show needed more fireworks. (Edit: as seen above by a few posters .... guess a show sucks because it doesn't have enough fireworks). BAM had nothing to do with fireworks ... That was some of the complaints I seem to recall. I didn't see the show myself so I can't comment on the quality of it. Didn't sound as bad as some made it out to be and sounds like they're changing it a bit for this year.
I heard they are changing it up a bit

Are they going to be able to do high level pyro for the show? Star Wars is at super bare bones when it comes to anyrhing from the launch site. No larger shells at all.
I liked jingle bam enough to see it multiple times. I didn't love it but it was a nice enough show.

I've only seen a video of it, but it's hard to believe it comes off better in person. If changes HAVE been made to it, I hope there's a more coherent and enjoyable story. As it is, the show's almost amateurishly bad.

It really is too bad this is returning. The plot is very bad, the pyro levels are very low, and it takes you right out of the moment by announcing that you are in a theme park several times through it's run. It does not help this park's identity crisis, and does not allow you to "lose yourself" in emotion like most other entertainment in Disney World currently does. It's flashy in a Vegas "look at me" sort of way, with a weak sugar-glass frame with which they hang special laser effects and IP like ton-pound ornaments.

I think it got a lot of hate because it initially replaced the Star Wars show, which a lot of people were hoping to see. People plan their trips ages in advance and then to be told that SW isn't happening is pretty disappointing. It was really late on when they announced Star Wars would also run, as in about a week or so before it started. In the end it worked out great for because SW fans could see their show early and still see Fantasmic, but that only happened for a coup,e of weeks. A lot of international visitors also had no idea who the characters were (I still don't).

Because this crapfest of a show replaced the Osborne Lights perhaps and its obvious to everyone that Disney is no longer even trying to put on a good show.
And logically as long as the gates keep clicking at the same rate why should Disney spend the money for great shows if the customers dont care.

Wrong. Star Wars land (that actually is getting built) replaced the Osborne Lights. A small distinction but does make a huge difference.

Yes the SoA had to go for SWL, yet there was no reason Disney could not have redecorated Sunset Blvd with a new and equally impressive holiday light show. Or created Lights of Winter 2.0 in EPCOT.
Instead Disney rolls out this crapfest, Logical because the guests keep coming no matter what Disney cuts, But still a vast downgrade
