News Walt Disney World Holiday Events 2023

Yeah it's a new projection display with the stage show. Projections can't replace points of light in my opinion.

I hope they get backlash from this decision. But they probably won’t.

This makes me think they've decided the Dream Lights won't be returning ever. Pity...

If they receive good feedback in the slightest of forms for the new offering then its highly unlikely I would assume.

As long there's bursts of pyro at the end (like the previous Elsa lighting show), it will get a lot of cheers at the end, reassuring management that they made the right decision to cut the lights (again). And this new "show" will most likely have pyro by the description.

Heck, the Beacons of Magic received applause from guests when that happened an hour or so before fireworks, and that was projections-only.

"My toddler who is literally impressed by jingling keys loves it!" comments incoming.

A real shame they’re too cheap to bring back the Dream Lights which were, without a doubt, the best thing left at WDW at Christmas since the Osborne Lights were killed

 

[TTA94]

Maybe it’s just me but I’m in the camp that thinks these two events are not exciting one bit nor worth the price increase. MVMCP is the same old entertainment with a new boreing projection show that replaced something awesome. And Jollywood sounds boreing as crap IMO.

 

[HauntedPirate]

So underwhelming.

An executive would consider it a 10/10 show after reading such feedback

Off topic but WDW continuing to be determined to eliminate all tiny points of light sure doesn’t say much for the nighttime parade rumor coming to fruition next year. And if it does they’ll probably try to stick that behind a paywall to.

I don’t think the two are connected and TDO is not touching SSE............

So was dreamlights the mast minute cancellation?

 

[Dan Deesnee]

Hooray another mediocre projection show. BRING BACK THE DREAM LIGHTS.

Oh and also, even though I can afford it, there is zero chance I pay those party prices. But it will sell out anyways so, oh well.

Yup.

 

[DisneyFanatic12]

Dear Iger,

I wouldn’t mind if you spend some of the $17 billion on Christmas lights and Dream lights

 

[MagicHappens1971]

While this sounds nice, I am so disappointed that they have chosen not to bring back the DreamLights

Heck Dream lights for the castle and Dreamlights nighttime parade lol.

I don’t remember exactly but why did they call the castle lights Dreamlights? Did someone at WDW decide they’ll take the name from Tokyos nighttime parade and use it for the Cinderella castle lights?

I believe the official name was Castle Dream Lights.

Very Merry has always been the cheap knock off of Not So Scary, at least to my family. We’ve done both many times and we still prefer Not So Scary. The only thing I’ll give Very Merry is they have the better fireworks show.

Early on (back in late 2000's), both were excellent. Both had equal value for me and were special in it's own way. This was before the current regimes value engineering of the events in an effort to maximize profit.
