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

[tcool123]

Honestly, I feel like if we don't see a new nighttime parade for the 50th, one will never occur for a long time (not until a major shift in leadership). The 50th was the best opportunity for the parks people and WDI to justify that kind of financial outlay.

The company’s 100th anniversary is in 2023 that would be another opportunity for a nighttime parade imo.

Or they could just the “opportunity” that the Magic Kingdom has existed longer with a nighttime parade than without and that it’s guests and fans are desperately awaiting its return….

"Disney Enchantment" follows the naming trend of fireworks shows set by "Disney Illuminations" in Paris.

It would be great if it were like "Disneyland Forever" or "Celebrate Tokyo Disneyland" and actually be about the park/resort, but if Disneyland's 60th was any indication, very little of all this anniversary stuff will actually have anything to do with WDW and just be an excuse for more Toy Story, Frozen, Star Wars etc. It's all about the brands.

I agree, I hope it is like "Remember" or "Celebrate Tokyo Disneyland", but that isn't current management at all.

I’ve heard a few interesting possibilities for this show. Still waiting on confirmation for most of them.

That said, the only thing I can say with near certainty is that HEA will return after the 50th *if* Enchantment gets lower GSATs (by a not insignificant margin). If it’s deemed as good or better by fans, then it will stick around (as though this is a surprise).

I’m still salty they didn’t add fountains in the moat while it was drained lol.

They could toss the rivers of light units into the moat and make them stationary if they really want to.

Are the Wishes stans happy that HEA will be "temporarily" replaced or you now just realized that HEA is better show than Wishes that you actually miss it when it's going away?

You know they got cut a decade ago. Why pay to reinstate them now?

Nope. Won’t miss it.

You know HEA has more “boom” than wishes.

We can all agree, though, that Minnie's Disastrous Christmas and Jack's Disastrous Halloween shows were... awful. Unless they were selling things at the dessert parties I don't know about.

Magic Kingdom Permit - Firework launch pads

Just saw this new South Florida Water Management district permit for work behind Magic Kingdom. Still digging through the documents to try to figure out what this is. The areas marked C-104, C-101, and C-105 and gravel areas surrounding a small concrete pad.

Strongly agree with Martin, I prefer Jiminy Cricket over Tom Kane any day.

Jiminy Cricket died due to an accidental firework explosion on May 11th 2017, thats the only reason Happily ever after came to be.

He’s a big boy now and lives at Pleasure Island.

And Geppetto and Figaro continue on living inside Monstro fishing.

Jiminy Cricket or Julie Andrews would be awesome to narrate Enchantment.
