News 'Disney Enchantment' coming to Magic Kingdom October 1 2021

In the first place......why would he react to a Pyro Test Tweet......

Seems way too early for MWCT....


Maybe it has something to do with Thursday??


If MK keeps working on DE...........would that prove Jordan and the Rumors wrong??????

This dudes just trying to get some Twitter points. Also- no way they'd test HEA now for a return in the spring? Wouldn't that be too recognizable to shoot off pre-announcement?

Gotta be Christmas. Maybe they want footage for D23.

I remember coming back to the Contemporary from HHN in mid October in 2019 to see the Dreamlights shining bright on the castle.

Wait, really??

 

[Touchdown]

Wait, really??

Yes, they were rehearsing lighting (the spots were moving) HHN ends at 2 am so this is the dead of night.

They're testing DE with some clips of Walt in the beginning. So could be a 100th anniversary tag (or the 50th tag we should've gotten).

Timestamped livestream of Walt clips:


Edit:
Testing ended around 1am;
so basically DE started to play then got interrupted in which different clips of Walt started playing. After a couple mins of that it returned to DE and continued to the end. Fireworks and pyro were added to the beginning. Rest of the show looked the same. Finale wasn't plussed in any major way either, but minor changes.

This ss is of Walt talking about the Florida Project, I think:

 

[gerarar]

So I guess the options were....

Disney Enchantment 2.0
Happily Ever After 2.0

They chose to double down and "improve" the former....sad

 

[Notes from Neverland]

But wait, I thought Disney was distancing themselves from Walt. Even renaming Walt Disney World!

That's how i would like the show, surely giving nostalgic feel that previously seen at Disneyland 50th firework show "Remember... Dreams Come True".

Not including Walt, Roy, Mickey, or rides at WDW is my biggest complaint regarding Enchantment.

To me it looks like the finale had a bit more shells than usual.

Someone posted the whole test with pyro and shells in view since livestream didn't.
I counted 4 new shells in the finale. One change I immediately spotted was an extra heart shell during "Cuz the spark is in your heart". Not sure if this in addition to the heart shell during "Let your heart, guide your way.." or if it was moved.

 

[wtyy21]

We'll notice the difference of finale fireworks eventually.
Here's test version (original Oct 1 firework shell finale before narration "You Are the Magic" seems return)

Most recent version

It's now 17 minutes long so 2 minutes more longer in the intro.

Uh oh.

Calling it now: 50th is extended for another year to "allow everyone to activate the magic inside of them" with updated enchantment.

 

[jrhwdw]

Still no Blue comments in the finale like Spring. Loved the new intro!!! If it's true that The 100th starts with D23....might this premiere on that weekend?? Or The 51st Anniversary which starts the 50th Finale???? I have no clue, I'm just guessing here.



Why MK didn't do Last Night's Midnight Enchantment or the CM Enchantment starting 10-1-21 is beyond me!!!!!!!!

 

[Disney Glimpses]

Haha wow, I give up.

 

[jrhwdw]

Florida Park Explorers also covered the Test last night:




Jen did not zoom in so, she didn't realize the new intro on the Castle but she did get the new Intro Pyro.

 

[jrhwdw]

Haha wow, I give up.

I knew HEA was too good to be True!!!!!!! Maybe that's why COVID and the 50th killed it!!!!

 

[Disney Glimpses]

I’m not sure what to make of this honestly. On the surface, it looks like they are running a test for the 100th. But this would likely be run much sooner than that since they are testing already. And the footage in the projections is very much WDW focused. Could they actually be trying to fix Enchantment for the 50th for 7-8 months?

Somewhere on here it was said that the 100th actually starts with D23, So maybe right after Labor Day????? This is very confusing! LOL!!!

If HEA is still planned, it would need this Intro if it returns Spring 2023(during the 100th)



The only thing that bothers me is Thursday....MK closes at 7 with no MNSSHP. Could this be a one off for that???????

They can fix Enchantment during the 50th celebration. Take example from Illuminations 25, they returned classical songs that hasn't part of the original show (Illuminations 25 (A)) as well as replacing circle of life with new finale classical song (Ode to Joy), but still as part of the 25th anniversary of WDW and happens on May 19, 1997. The revised show was unofficially named as Illuminations 25 (B).
