News Wishes to be replaced with new 'Happily Ever After' nighttime spectacular

The Dreamlights never interfered with the projection shows of the past (Celebrate the Magic).
I don't think Wishes had a snooze fest finale from Jan-Oct, but I do know Wishes' Castle Dream Lights Finale was the most stunning thing I've seen in any park! I love the strobes in Holiday Wishes' finale also! If the lights came on for the post show, it would be better. HEA's finale is fantastic don't get me wrong.

Just because an opinion differs to yours doesn't mean it's wrong remember?
Playing devils advocate.
I think you've made your opinion and mindset clear.
Especially with comments like this:
"AJH219: Like how downright STUPID do you have to be to have the audacity to criticize Happily Ever After? What kind of idiot does that?"
Conversely, narrow mindedness can be seen as idiotic.

Thank you.
I was going to respond, but you said it best.
I teach my own kids and my students to value and validate everyone's opinions, whether or not you share the same opinions.
I can never "get over" Wishes. It will always hold such a special place in my heart. I don't need to explain why I believe it's better for me than HEA, it just is. I don't need to convince anyone why I prefer Wishes to HEA. I could tell you how my children grew up with it and how it's such a huge part of their WDW experience. I could tell you my memories of standing next to my father, who has since passed on, with tears in our eyes when it was over one year. I could go on with many, many magical moments, feelings, emotions and memories. But I don't have to. They're mine & they're a part of my WDW experience, just like the magic and awe and wonder of HEA is for others today. I'm okay with that. I've walked through the HUB during HEA. I've seen it in person.
I guess my WDW mindset is for an old, tired show from 2003. I guess I'm just not into a technological tour de force from 2017. That's for this experience. I'll take each new one as they come.
Some new experiences at WDW are better than what they've replaced - others aren't.
Thank you, Martin.
I don't need people telling me my feelings are wrong.
WDW is big enough for multiple opinions about multiple things. My pleasure there is derived from the past and present & just like many others, I can't wait for the future as well.

YEP. YEP. And I’m in the HEA > Wishes camp, so it’s not like it’s just the Wishes fans who feel this way. Belittling someone for their opinion on something as trivial as a theme park show is immature and unnecessary. Healthy debate is fine, but are we in the 5th grade with the personal attacks?

I realize not everyone shares the same opinion but after paying a premium for party tickets, I felt a little ripped off getting the old fireworks show when I had seen the amazing HEA just a few days earlier. I loved Wishes but I feel like if you create a technologically advanced show that hasn't been poorly rated and then charge people a premium to treat them to an inferior nighttime show, it seems a little wrong to me.
And when I say inferior, that's based purely on facts of technology and execution.

Get over it. Wishes got replaced and that's that. You had 20 years to say goodbye to it. Now say hello to the best firework show ever!

No, thank you.
But I wish you many, many happy memories with HEA that I have with Wishes. There's nothing like it. Enjoy!!!!
Wow Disney "Insider"...that's one heck of a bombastic first post to the WDW Magic forums.
Though we have many different opinions, we're a welcoming bunch. Especially if you act a little more cordially.
Unless it's someone's second account...
Which of course it wouldn't be since it's against forum rules.

I like HEA, but isn’t it supposed to just be a stopgap between now and the 50th?
Don’t get too attached. I am surprised, however that they didn’t debut new holiday shows.

I haven’t seen HEA.. so I can’t personally give an opinion on it.
I’m also surprised with Holiday Wishes staying., I kept hoping that a new show would roll out for the parties.

I do think Happily Ever After is the best fireworks show to ever play at Magic Kingdom, and I don't readily praise things. I agree they should've readied holiday versions for this year instead of playing the holiday Wishes.
Someone said they've reconsidered.

From the Rumor Tracker under 50th Anniversary...
- there will be an eventual replacement for "Happily Ever After" (which replaced "Wishes")
- although... there may be rumblings that since HEA was so well received, they might just update and upgrade it instead of a brand new show. [here]
Which points to...
