News Happily Ever After fireworks show returning to Magic Kingdom in 2023

[TrainsOfDisney]

They need something to go along with HEA on a nightly basis to help the mass park exit and to keep guests in the park.

Like a night parade? Or longer park hours? Crazy talk! It’s impossible to do that! Haha

Also…. I can’t believe how much enchantment hate there is. You all need to be forced to watch Mickeys Mix magic so you’ll be thankful!!! Haha

The original Pirates and Lion King pyro has returned! It came back about a couple of weeks ago. There are two time coded links with the old pyro for comparison.

Great! Also, by mid January, HEA looked as good as May 2017!!!(Not talking Spotlights, I know the 2017 Patterns have not returned)

However, the last week or so, the Castle Strobe Lights seem to be turned off.......

I agree, the only thing that still isn't back to it's original is the pyro before I see the light, I'm not sure what kind of shell it is but it's weird that they aren't using it because enchantment uses them in the begining. For comparison

Was going to post this a week or two ago, but wasn’t sure how long it would last. It’s looking like a permanent change if it’s lasted this long! I like the aerial shells more than the ground bursts, so I’m pretty happy about the change. It’s a small change, sure, but I find them more impressive to time them to music, and I find their presence to be more meaningful as well.

The castle strobes are actually lasers from the main street buildings, the actual lights embedded in the castle are only used on stage shows nowadays.

I was wondering if that was the case, Thanks! Hard to ell on YT sometimes, LOL!

My only other gripe is that the lasers in the finale were cut a month after the show returned. They were so beautiful and went along so well with the castle and MSUSA prohections.

Also the crosettes in the beginning during the first Reach Out and Find Your Happily Ever After are hit and miss these days.

Yeah, I still no clue why they removed that, maybe they thought it was too much?

Yeah, considering the Lights were turned off around the time Walt and Roy got into DE.(that's what i read anyway)

A fitting end to a good week! WDW focusing more on Entertainment, Drones possible at WDW and now HEA looking more and more Pre Covid!!!!

+1 for WDW over DL (looks at falling apart infrastructure for F!..)

Honestly I stopped hoping these would eventually get fixed and return.
So sorry I ever doubted HEA! Now bring back the finale lasers!!

Also @Disney Glimpses would be ecstatic to hear about this.
