Oooo... I like it!

Thanks ImaginEar :)

Here is the rundown of the effects and program for the complete Kingdom of Dreams :)

~*Kingdom of Dreams: Nighttime Spectacular*~ Complete Version.

Segment 1 - On this Magic Night
-Unlike Wishes or the preview version of Kingdom of Dreams; The show starts with booming trumpets playing the theme to the SpectroMagic Parade (which is now running nightly on Port Disney) followed by a chorus of voices singing the "On This Magic night" theme from the parade as the Castle and the Cinderellabration Hubs change colors in tune with the music.
-Jiminy Cricket then welcomes us (represented by a single green star that hovers high above the castle):
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Welcome to the splendor, the spectacle, the sparkling sensation, where the romance, the comedy and the thrill of Disney dreams come to fantasmic life.[/font]

We then hear the familiar little girl singing the Wishes theme song set to a shot of Cinderella Castle's tallest spire glittering with a big "star" on top (no fireworks yet)
- A star shoots to the sky as a choir begins to sing "A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes" set to shootings stars in between lines. (a highlight of this segment is the appearance of a fireworks formed like a rainbow during the line "...your rainbow will come smiling through")

Jiminy:
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And now, the Magic Kingdom proudly presents, in a million points of musical light, the magic worlds of Disney... welcome to the Kingdom of Dreams![/font]
- Tinkebell then flies down from the castle's tallest spire and on to tomorrowland.
-Fireworks go off from all points of the park, around the castle, behind the trains station, adventureland, tomorrowland, everywhere.

Segment 2 - Disney's Animal Kingdom
-We then hear drums beating as green fireworks go off above the castle.
-We hear the Animal kingdom theme play as the Caslte suddenly turns into the Tree of Life (using a brand new projection system)
-We hear an Australian dijeridoo playing in the background as fireworks go from green to orange.
-We see projected on the castle, the various seasons from winter, to spring, from summer to fall. All the while drummy music and animal voices plays in the background.
-Suddenly, the cry of the Yeti is heard, and white sparks go off in the sky imitating the train chase from Expedition Everest.
-Fireballs then go off around the hub as we hear the Dragon from Dragon Tower: "Who disturbs my slumber?" He asks as fireworks and fireballs go off around the hub and mainstreet before the bats (represented by shooting stars) from the ride make a daring escape out of the castle proclaiming: "We finally got the treasure!!!!"
-We then then hear the african voices from "The Circle of Life" as the African Sun is projected on the castle.
-Mufasa then gives us a short lecture on The Circle of Life before we hear the main chorus. Gigantic yellow, orange and red fireworks going off around and behind the castle, imitating the rising and setting of the sun.
-The segment ends with the final high note from the Circle of Life song and a huge yellow blast of firework erupts behind the castle. and everything goes dark.

Segment 3 - Disney-MGM Studios
-After a short moment of darkness, spotlights then go off inside the castle forming a ballet of spotlights as the "Hooray for Hollywood" theme is played accented by little sparks of fireworks overhead.
-The castle then takes on the colors of Graumann's Chinese Theater as music that signifies the golden age of Hollywood plays in the background.
-red Fireworks then blast to the sky as the Indiana Jones theme plays.
-followed by the sudden darkening of the castle as Star Wars' Imperial March theme plays.
-We then hear the Theme to "Tower of Terror" as detailed lightning and fireworks recreates the story of the attraction. With spotlights and falling fireworks reproducing the the fall of the elevator.
-after the elevator falls we hear a familiar roar, it is Godzilla roaring in from Tomorrowland as huge green fireworks highlighted by a pair of yellow eyes form at the direction of adventureland.
-Then, at the direction of Frontierland, roars King Kong with dark fireworks accented by red eyes.
-The two then clash and fight using fireworks and other things as fireworks erupt all over the hub representing destroyed buildings and utter destruction.
-Mickey Mouse suddenly yells "CUT!" and laughs...um...."That's All Folks!"
-The mood then goes to a jolly one as the Toon Studios sequence begins. With bright colorful fireworks shaped like cubes and circles go off to the sky all the while the Castle takes the form of the Sorcerer Mickey Hat.
-The castle then turns into a bright shade of red as we hear Dorothy: "There is No Place Like Home"
-Bright rainbow colored fireworks then shoot off to the sky from around the castle as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" plays signalling the glorious end of the segment.

Segment 4 - Port Disney
-A Ship's horn then goes off as fireworks go erupt behind the castle to the tune of Discovery Mountain's soundtrack (aka Paris' Space Mountain).
-The Aquasshere is projected onto the castle.
-The area then goes red as the soundtrack to "Journey to Center of the Earth" is played reproducing the instance that we meet the lava monster.
-A star flashes all of a sudden as we hear the "Little Mermaid suite" (the one with the fish going back to the "fathoms below") as lasers similar to the ones used in the MGM Mermaid show, engulf the hub and mainstreet making it feel like we are descending underwater.
-Fireworks then play to a medley of Little Mermaid jingles. (If you remember the opening song from the Little Mermaid TV show, this is something greatly similar to that)
-The Genie suddenly shows up reproducing the Aladdin sequence from the old "Wishes" show
-The Enchanted Tikki Room then kicks in to give a sort of Tropical feel for the segment. Similar to Disneyland's Remember show.

Segment 5 - EPCOT
-The main EPCOT theme then starts and fireworks and fountains join in to follow the music.
-The castle takes on the texture of Spaceship Earth as the Sage of Time welcomes us and telling us the purpose of EPCOT.
-Then comes a medley of ride soundtracks from Mission: Space, to Test Track, to Soarin' all accomopanied by fireworks reproducing the thrill of the rides.
-We then see Figment singing his own version of "When You Wish upon A Star" as he flies from the castles tallest spire and travels the four corners around the hub encouraging people to "use your imagination" with each corner he visits, the area lights up in strobing colorful lights. Then he disappears in a blast of fireworks. But he still there! his voice echoes throughaout the park and suddenly colorful perimeter fireworks blast all over the area. Putting the entire area in a flurry of color.
-The mist screens then come on and Figment flies through all of them making it feel as though he is flying around the hub as he sings his song.
-We then hear the soundtrack to the "Rhythms of the World" show as each World Showcase Country is projected on the mist screens all around the hub.
-Torches then light up around the hub simulating the torches from Illuminations
-As the chorus to "We Go On" is blasted by trumpets; A single giant ball of white fireworks blast above us forming the likeness of Spaceship Earth.
-The finale of this segment mirrors the finale of Illuminations Reflections of Earth with shells upon shells of fireworks balst off to the sky as the music reaches a high note.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~To be continued with sketches of the effects and the Magic Kingdom segment plus the two finales.

I love the show! However, I'm not sure that it belongs in Magic Kingdom. Perhaps it could be some kind of every other day thing located at Downtown Disney or the Crossroads or something. Or maybe just an entirly new location! Magic Kingdom, true, was the original, but it doesn't really have themes to tie all of the parks together. Animal Kingdom = Adventureland, Epcot = Main Street, Liberty Square, Frontierland and Tomorrowland, Studios = ???, Port Disney = Tomorrowland. Thats about it...and some Epcot only ties to the American theme, no other country (well I guess you could partially tie it to Adventureland)

Holy crap, that's awesome! For the Kong vs. Godzilla sequence, may I suggest using Akira Ifukube's familiar Godzilla theme to the battle? In Epcot though, you need some sort of appearance by Figment, for he is after all, the park's icon character. Otherwise, this fireworks show pwns me...

Your ideas are just amazing!! Kingdom of Dreams would be a fantastic show, that's for sure. I had always thought a perfect finale for an AK show though would combine the ending to the Lion King broadway musical finale with the ending to Tapestry of Dreams. I was bored and I combined the too, and it actually turned out really kewl. Anyway.. enough ranting. Excellent job! :D

thanks Walt, :D
I originally thought of staging it at the Seven Seas Lagoon but I felt it might disturb the fishes living there :D plus the castle would be the focal point of the show.
Then i thought of having a version of the show for all 5 of the parks but then it would have been to confusing and repetitive.
So I ended up putting it in MK, since the castle would be the focal point and more or less when someone says WDW, people think of Cinderella Castle :)

thanks Tahu! Yes that would be awesome for the Godzilla v.s. Kong segment, I'll add that in to the show and it would play whenever Godzilla is emphasized along with a King Kong theme. the music would match the battle as it would seem as though they were dueling.

I was also planning on incorporating Figment, which i forgot while writting the post :D. I'll update it later tonight :) Figment will pop up all over mainstreet, the castle, around the hub and getting people to look everywhere and include mist coming out of the castle; and several 'fun' effects all over the show area.

Kingdom of Dreams: Magic Kingdom

Segment 6 - The Magic Kingdom
-The windows on the castle suddenly have bright yellow lights inside as we hear Lumiere welcomes us to "Be Our Guest". The song then goes on accompanied by red white and blue fireworks and dancing fountains.
-The Disney Movies Medley from Fantasmic! is played amongst fireworks resembling the shapes of characters:
*Snow White - The castle turns into Snow White's Castle with white walls and red roofs
*101 Dalmatians - The castle is covered with spots
*Mulan - red fireworks
*Pinocchio - A luminous puppet pinocchio is seen dancing on the castle balcony
*Dumbo - Dumbo flies around the hub using the mist screens.
*Hercules
*Alice in Wonderland
-The mood suddenly turns Romantic as the themes to Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Beaty and the Beast play amidst dancing fountains and romantic lighting.
-The lights suddenly turn back on along with the Cinderellabration Arches in a dazzling array of bright colors as the music to "It's A Small World" plays. more fun shapes fill the sky. and spinning rockets light up and rotate in the castle's turrets.
-We are then interrupted by a sudden other-worldly snicker after the lights suddenly goes dark, it's Stitch (his shadow projected on the castle) and he seems to be re-wiring everything causing sparks all over the castle and mainstreet as Elvis Presley's "Trouble" plays in the background, fireworks shooting to the sky above and around the castle as the song reaches its chorus.
-Lightning then stops Stitch as the Disney villains invade the kingdom. starting in a fashion similar to the villains segment in Wishes where the Evil Queen casts a spell.
-The Castle suddenly covers itself with Fog making it seem like the castle has dissapeared as villainous fireworks explode overhead.
-The various Villains' themes play in the background as fire fills the waters around the hub island. The Villains are projected on the mist screens all laughing.
-Jiminy Cricket's star returns as we hear him asking "what'll I do?",
-Then, like a bolt out of the blue, Mickey Mouse comes to our rescue as mickey shaped Fireworks explode on the sky. One in each corner of the park.
-Then bolts of fireworks are shot to the castle revealing it once again in bright lights causing the Villains to flee.

Segment 7 - Light Magic
-Jiminy's star returns and bids us farewell after telling us to "Keep this kingdom alive in our hearts"...and...."Just keep dreaming".
-The Wishes theme plays as twinkling stars slowly begin to fill the sky, all over above, and around both the hub and mainstreet, tiny twinkling stars hover above.
-As "When You wish Upon a Star" begins, one by one, the tiny stars burst to form lovely blasts of fireworks making it as though the sky were filled with pixie dust.
-The Castle, The Cinderellabration arches and the mainstreet lights join in the spectacle as the lights change and dance according to the song, it is a sight to behold.
-Just as "When You Wish Upon A Star" ends, the instrumental chorus of "Colors of The Wind" (just like at the end of Pocahontas) plays with fireworks shooting off behind and to the sides of Cinderella Castle as the hub fountains shoot high to the sky.
-Just then, two shooting stars shoot off behind the castle, underscored by another round of "When You Wish Upon A Star" as the chorale reaches its end.

Segment 8 - Kingdom of Dreams Eternal
-The castle stands as twinkiling, strobing lights fill it. An almost quiet instrumental version of "A Dream IS A Wish Your Heart Makes" fills the air.
-Suddenly, children's voices fill the air, all wishing that they could stay here forever.
-Just as the huge crowd of people head for the exits, the Spectro Magic theme blasts through the speakers as a flash of fireworks erupt on top of the Magic Kingdom train Station and out comes Tinkerbell.
-Tinkerbell soars above mainstreet, people watching her like the sun to a field of sunflowers.
-Tinkerbell then goes around the hub before going back and forth "around" the castle as if showering it with Pixie Dust. All the while the refrain to the Spectromagic theme plays.
-Just then the Cinderellabration Arches, the mainstreet lights, the hub fountains, even the visible icons from Adventureland, Tomorrowland and Frontierland turns a golden glow that spreads its way to the castle.
-As the music climaxes another blast of fireworks erupt at the Castle's tallest spire and out comes Sorcerer Mickey (in a dark blue, electric lights version of the costume :D ) doing as he did in the Fantasmic finale. The same music from fantasmic! playing.
-Mickey then commands more and more fireworks to shoot off to the sky, above the castle, around the castle, around the hub, all over mainstreet, fireworks fill the air with a million colors.
-Five gigantic blue blasts of fireworks horizontally fill the sky behind Cinderella castle (similar to the end of Atlantis: the Lost Empire) as the music crescendoes witha mixture of the Wishes theme, Fantasmic theme, Spectromagic theme, and "When You Wish Upon A Star".
-Just then Mickey dissapears from the top spire and then with another blast of fireworks, reappear at the Castle's main walkway before bowing out and the castle curtain closes over him.

I love it! I have two ideas though.

1. Why doesn't Disney Cruise Line's horn play during the Port Disney section?

2. How about during the Epcot segment, how about Figment, dressed as Tinkerbell, flies around the castle?

I don't want my brain to hurt itself, regarding Figment crossdressing as Tink. If he dressed as Peter Pan that would be okay, though not as effective.
EDIT: Oh, and I'm not sure whether I asked this already, but would the Dreamseekers from Tapestry of Dreams be included at all in Tinkerbell's Light Magic?

Wow, I actually thought of making them the narrators instead of Jiminy I'll try to edit the show to include them, i'll post the new show along with a storyboard for the effects sometime soon :)

That's a great idea, i originally conceived it as a "ceremony" of sorts for pixies to change the seasons but having them be the bearers and seekers of dreams have a much more powerful edge to it! Thanks Tahu!!!!!!!! :)

here's a couple of new attractions coming in to the parks:

Kongfrontation at Port Disney

-King Kong attacks 1930's New York as he wreacks havoc on Port Disney's American Waterfront.
-The creation of this attraction means that "Battle of the Monsters" at Disney-MGM might be dismantled to make way for a Godzilla attraction.
-Guests ride open air double-decker buses that will be driven right at King Kong's path.
-The climax of the ride would be where King Kong carries your bus to the top of the Empire State Building.
-this is both a dark ride and a 3-d, EMV ride.
-The show building for the attraction will be the Empire State Building itself.



Animagic! at The Disney-MGM Studios

-A companion attraction to "The Magic of Disney Animation"
-Guests are invited to a theater to watch a disney artist at work.
-after some jokes and some stories and trivia, two audience members are chosen to be drawn as disney cartoons.
-but things go awry when Hades takes over the theater/workshop and commands the artist to draw monsters that he would in turn give horrific life.
-but all hope is not lost as the artist uses the "magic" paint brush to bring to life the guest drawings and have them battle against Hades.


The Emperor and the Nighttingale: A Musical Spectacle at Disney's Animal Kingdom

-A Brand new musical show to be located at Beastlie Kingdomme.
-The Emperor of a great kingdom has fallen ill and it is now up to his 8 year old son to rule over the kingdom.
-Hoping to save his father's life the young emperor decides to go on a quest for the legendary nightinggale, whose magical song can heal all ailments.
-This quest leads the young emperor to the great, yet forbidden, Beastly Kingdom and with the help of some mythical friends and a majestic Unicorn, The Emperor finds the lovely nighttingale and restores peace and prosperity throughout both kingdoms.
