Because it turns into MSEP.
Some things can end… it’s not even that great of a show

Nostalgia is blinding. It’s a good show. I enjoyed it. But it wasn’t great.
Disneyland used part of Wishes and came up with this just 2 years later. I specifically found the OG (no projections) version to give an accurate comparison. Wishes is an embarrassment compared to that show, and in the more then 20 years since has only gotten better.

Definitely not a scientic poll and statistically speaking, not nearly enough votes.
This forum is probably not the best indicator, also that’s 95 people.

I don’t mean to disrespect Wishes but its nostalgia is what makes its great. There is certainly a place for that sort of show, but in terms of effects, it’s a neutered version of HEA at this point.
People aren’t attached to Jiminy Cricket like they were 20 years ago.

That’s what makes all of a castle park great.
Not saying it should be the nightly show year round - but wishes has fans for a reason - it’s a great show!

I'd love to see Wishes back for a limited time thing but I wouldn't want to replace HEA. They should be doing Wishes instead of Enchantment at after hours but they probably don't wanna have to program a new version of Wishes.

A poll on a niche online forum filled with mostly older fans who have nostalgia for Wishes is not necessarily and indicator that most people prefer Wishes. Although I do remember Len Testa showed that Wishes had the highest ratings on touring plans with HEA right behind.

This line is getting older than the fans you are calling old.
Disney was built on nostalgia and still markets it - big time. Mickey Mouse is so old he’s in the public domain!!!

So you were 6 when Wishes started, sounds like nostalgia to me!

What was the fireworks show at Disneyland that featured music from the park like the Tiki Room theme?
Remember Dreams Come True. It’s the show I linked. It started with Wishes music but when the genie would come in, that show cuts to Walt’s Opening Speech and then an E-ride in the sky tour, ending with Wishes finale version of When You Wish Upon a Star.

Remember - also a Steve Davidson masterpiece. Julie Andrews hosted it, it featured the Maple Leaf Rag, and had one of my favorite moments ever for the haunted mansion stretching room.
Talk about practically perfect!

Ok.. it’s that one. Remember is the best Disney fireworks show. Let’s get that at WDW.

Truly a love letter to the parks. Those flares for the stretching room felt so imposing as a kid in the middle of the hub, I'll never forget them.
Partly also why I love the Tapestry of Happiness projection show they're doing for the 70th, it's like a mini-RDCT. I'd love to see that fleshed out into a full fireworks show.
