hello, I've decided that Kingdom of Dreams is too big and too much of a show for MK to handle everyday. Plus, It represents all of the parks at WDW. I've decided that KoD will only be shown during special occassions, specifically park anniversaries.

I have thought out a brand new show which isn't as big as Kingdom of Dreams but is much more personal and relatable. The new show takes on the theme of "Wishes" which would take its cue from the old Wishes show and expand on it and tie it together a little bit more as well as induce some elements of MK's overall mythology to make for a perfect ending to a night at MK, or a stay at WDW.

Disney Wishes: An Odyssey of Dreams Fulfilled

Part 1: A Gathering of Dreams
-The show starts out very, very subtly, so subtle that the lights in the park don't even go off at first. We hear little bells chiming all around us little spotlights start to gather around the entire park. As the mainstreet and various other lights around the park slowly dim (excluding the lamp posts which will remain lit), the little spotlights become more visible and start to change colors, plus we hear laughter and cheer among these lights.
-These lights hover around in the darkness for a good 30 seconds before they slowly move towards the castle, turning off the lamp posts along their way. An instrumental "When You Wish Upon A Star" softly underscores the movement of the lights as they make their way to the castle gathering themselves upon the tallest spire.
-An instrumental version of the refrain from the song "For A Moment" (from The Little Mermaid 2) suddenly fills the air as a single blue star shoots off to the sky. The Blue Fairy welcomes us on this magical night in which the stars will be play and dance to the beauty of our Wishes. She tells us that each star that fills the Magic Kingdom Sky is a symbol of all the hopes and dreams of the world and that whenever you make a wish, a star is born.
- "When You Wish Upon A Star" plays as shooting stars shoot off to the sky (similar to the current Wishes version. As the song ends we hear the many wishes of the children who are watching the show and with each wish a star twinkles and hovers above until the entire sky is filled with stars, the wishes of the world. this part is underscored by an instrumental version of "Part of Your World" (also from the Little Mermaid, the finale version).
-Just then, Tinkerbell comes swooping up from the east to the castle's tallest spire and when she gets there...

Part 2: A Gathering of Friends
-A bright green blast of fireworks erupt in the sky as Tarzan's "Two Worlds" theme is played to blazing drums.
-The castle turns a bright shade of green as Zazu (from the Lion King) tells us that friends are the pillars of wishes. with each friend we meet, a wish is born in our hearts that we keep each other comapany through the journey of life. Multi-colored shooting stars shoot off around the castle as the birds from the Enchanted Tikki Room Under New Management give us an impromptu jamming session as they sing a medley of Disney songs concerned with friendship. "friend like me", "you've got a friend in me", "my funny friend and me", and "Hakuna Matata" (a duet between Zazu and Iago).
-Monkeys invade the party as King Louie tells us "I Wanna Be Like You".
-There goes on to be a musical duel between the monkeys and the birds (emulated by fireworks) the battle ends with "The Tikki Tikki Room" song.

Part 3: A Gathering of Courage
-The park goes dark as the leaf spirit from Pocahontas is projected all over the park underscored by "Listen With Your Heart".
-The castle takes on the texture of water as the reflection of water is projected on the castle as Grandmother Willow from Pocahontas tells us..
-Wishing for courage is like looking for something that is already there. If you look deep in your heart and wish hard enough, the fear shall be rinsed away like dirt in the pouring rain.
-Mist fills the hub as the suite from "The Haunted Mansion" is played to an eery backdrop of lightning and sinister fireworks.
-A swarm of bats fluttering around are projected upon the castle.
-Just then, a blast from the western side of the park shoots to the castle as an orchestral version of "The Ballad of Davey Crockett" blares on the park speakers. The music goes on as if it were "cleaning up" or "saving" the area from the Haunted Mansion.
-The moment the castle is freed, "Colors of the Wind" choruses through the air. a medley of red, white and blue fireworks errupt to the sky.

Part 4: A Gathering of Romance
-The Fantasmic "love theme" then plays as the Cinderellabration Arches come to illuminated life and the 6 Disney Princesses are projected upon the castle.
-Julie Andrews reminds us that Love is the heart of a wish. With every desire, with every dream, it is love that sparks them to life. Let us celebrate now the beauty and magic of the emotion which is called love
-The castle and the arches then go through a medley of Disney love themes:
-"So This is Love" sung by Cinderella herself plays as a ballet of fireworks and lights fill the park.
-"One Love" sung by Snow White, turns the park a lovely shade of gold as fireworks shaped like sunflowers fill the sky.
-"Once Upon A Dream" a duet by Princess Aurora and Prince Philip recreates the courtship lovers go through as fireworks launched from the western side and the east side of the park represent the royal couple.
-"If I Never Knew You" sung by Pocahontas and John Smith illuminates the sky with romantic blue fields of stars behind the castle.
-"Beauty and the Beast" a choir sings one of Disney's most beloved love song as golden sparks shoot to the sky around the castle.
-"Love Will Find a Way" from the sequel to the Lion King is sung by the choir as the Magic Kingdom sky is literraly covered with romantic blue sparks.

Part 5: A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow

-Walter Cronkite speaks to us...A Wish is a key that unlocks the gates of the future. It is in wishes that we begin to dream and work for a better world...
-"It's A Small World" plays throughout the park. colorful, playful fireworks shoot to the sky changing colors with each language in which the song is sung.
-The song is interrupted as the park goes dark and silent, as if there were a glitch in the show. A sinister laugh echoes through the park...it's Stitch we see his shadow projected into one of the castle's balconies looking as though he is short circuiting the system. sparks erupt around and on the castle as if the fireworks were exploding. All the while Elvis' Trouble plays in the background.
-a rocket is then heard firing, "we have ignition" a voice says, as fireworks around the castle shoot off to the sky as if emulating a rocket launch. The theme to Space Mountain plays and rockets shoot all over the sky as the hub and mainstreet are covered with stars. Fireworks shoot all over the park following the beat of the music.
-A Giant golden blast illuminates the sky behind Cinderella Castle as "There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" reaches a chorus. White, Gold, and Blue sparks shoot off around the castle.

Part 6: Just Believe

-"Starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight..." The familiar little girl who sings the "wishes" theme is heard as the star (wishes) field slowly returns to hover above the sky.
-A single blue star flies above them all, it is the blue fairy that the power of Wishes knows no limits for it is within our hearts that lies the strength and reason that our wishes shine and that if we look deep our hearts, our wishes will come true
-The classic "Wishes" finale plays along with the appropriate fireworks.

Part 7: A World of Wishes Eternal

-taking a cue from "Kingdom of Dreams", the park quiets down as if the show has ended when we hear the same chimes and voices and see the same lights from the begginging of the show.
-the lights once again gather to the tallest spire where in a million bolts of electric light, comes Tinkerbell flying out of the spire and flying around the castle spreading pixie dust over it as the many wishes of the park's guests are heard once more
-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.
-A mixture of the Wishes theme, Fantasmic theme, Spectromagic theme, and "When You Wish Upon A Star" fills the air as more and more fireworks shoot to the sky.
-Mickey then dissapears from the top spire in a blast of sparks and reappear in the castle's lower balcony telling us: "See ya real soon!".

Scroll back up y'all, the show is complete :)

It's a segment short of the size of KoD and it's a bit more "emotional" if you may :D

I really really like this. (Every time I post I think that you (stitchcastle) will think I'm just su cking up so I can get my concept art lol...but no I'm not! I seriously mean everything I've said!) If you aren't out of HighSchool or College yet, you NEED to focus on working for Imagineering if you are not already! If you have a job already, you need to try as hard as you can to get to Imagineering. You would do amazing things there!

Illuminations: One World

Prologue: The Sage of Time welcomes us to the age of knowledge, a time where the world is at a crossroads. A time where the uncertainty of the future limits the hopes and dreams of the world. It is on this night that we must rekindle the flame of humanity and remember that we all live in the same earth, as one.

Birth
- darkness engulfs the World Showcase Lagoon as the haunting dirge of an ancient voice fills the air.
-a haunting choir then joins her as the 19 torches surrounding the lagoon slowly come to life.
-A giant blast of fireworks erupt in the middle of the lagoon as an orchestra plays a new version of ROE's 'Chaos' segment. The haunting voices sing a mysterious song.
-fireworks errupt all over the lagoon.
-the inferno barge burns in the middle
-the 19 torches then shoot fireworks towards the center of the lagoon on which suddenly rises a 30 foot tall "Globe" shinning amongst as sea of stars.

Growth

Journey

Celebration

Love

War

Death

Meaning

Promise

Hey! I very recently ran into an idea by fellow wdwmagic poster iangiles for a way to radically update Tom Sawyer Island....turning it inot Sleepy Hollow

this was orignally iangiles' idea and I give him/her full credit for thinking it up. This is just my spin on it:

Sleepy Hollow will be a scary and spooky new land in the Magic Kingdom who's prime attraction would be a trackless dark ride called "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".


more info on Australia:

Soarin' over the Outback - Soarin technology used mainly on the Australian Outback with amazing results. The show building will be disguised as Ayers Rock

Here are my ideas for Tomorrowland 2:



Space Mountain 2 - This is an updated version of the original ride. This time a different opening happens. After you are blasted off into space, a black hole begins to suck in asteroids and planets. You narrowly escape, by flying through an asteroid at the last second. Also, a different ending happens, instead of the explosion that happened in the original ride, this time a Supernova is about to happen. You once again narrowly escape, this time by using the Spaceship's Hyperdrive.



Stitch's Great Escape 2 - This version of the ride begins once again in X-S Tech. They say how they are the Galactic Federation's biggest sponsor. The once again, SIR and Skippy from Alien Encounter demonstrate a new kind of technology used in Prison Cells. Then Guests go in the Same theatre as in the original SGE. Then Jummba creates Stitch before our eyes, but he breaks out and then wreaks on the theatre. Then, after Jummba switches the lights back on, Stitch has made his way to the hangar. Then guests board another Space Cruiser and escape X-S Tech. Then guests safely make it to Tomorrowland and the ride ends.


Carosuel of Progress - The ride is finally restored to it's former glory. "The Best time of your life" is once again the theme tune.


Buzz Lightyear's Laser Fight - The ride is renamed. It also gets a pre-show, the ride guns that you take off of the stands and 3-D figures. It themed around the "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" TV show.


Space Orbiter - A remake of a classic! Different planets, new ride veichles and a new voiceover make this remake of a classic complete!


Tomorrowland Transit Authority - The ride is remade to take a new path through different rides, including Space Mountain 2, Stitch's Great Escape 2, Buzz Lightyear's Laser Fight and the Space Orbiter!


The Flying Saucers - The short-lived ride from Disneyland California comes to Florida, with new ride veichles!

Hello, I decided to draw a view of the new Fantasyland (including two new attractions- Snow Mountain, and the Fantasyland Canal Tours) they're just doodles and I'm not that good with color so...

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/stitchcastle/fantasyland2.jpg

I also did a rough pencil sketch of Adventureland (as seen from a new area which has a completely enhanced POTC, whose entrance is themed to be a cave inside a waterfall; as well as a Pirate Fort play area on the showbuilding's roof, with Fire Mountain in the background)
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/stitchcastle/adventurelandrough.jpg

I also made a rough sketch of a panoramic view of greater Frontierland. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/stitchcastle/frontierlandrough.jpg

Kingdom of Dreams

-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.

Will Dreamfinder be included in Figment's part?
