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

[ToTBellHop]

And when all the main plot of the new show is over they owe us all a full versed orchestrated version of "When you wish upon a star" because this new soundtrack isn't warm sounding like any of the previous shows in the least bit. I don't even know why they resorted to this show in the first place, forever didn't last and Disneyland went back to their vershion of wishes.

I'm all for nostalgia, but I'd love a show that isn't one giant cliche.

And that's what I meant too. There are no children in the soundtrack, although it may sound like it.

Oh, wow, I didn't know that. You learn something new everyday.

@marni1971 Any moat fountains for this show? Obviously not a whole wall of water like SDL and DLP.

Nah. WDW has enough nighttime spectaculars with fountains.

Will they work Cinderella Crane into the new show?

Yes. It will use photo mapping to look like the, um, knee of the priest in The Little Mermaid.

With several needing upgrades lol. Minus RoL of course.

I don't remember seeing it mentioned but tinkerbell will still fly in this new show as confirmed by the DPB.

I wonder if/when Tinkerbell's flight will or even could be upgraded to match DL's.. Basically where she doesn't just plummet down one time during the show, extremely fast.

I think that effect would only work if they could change her route.

The lack of a Matterhorn makes that impossible.

It could be possible if she went from a building to building but there would have to be some construction to make it work.

How much do you want to bet this show has a lot less pyro than Wishes????

 

[mm121]

Umm, last Wishes is May 11. New show is May 12. This from official Disney.

oh thats good, i'm kinda shocked they didnt milk the transition under the guise of cost cutting for at least week or a month

It was an awesome night to have both Spectro and Wishes. Oh the memories. One gone, soon to be both.

I remember Spectro and Wishes felt perfect to end the night since Jiminy Cricket hosted both of these.

I want a 180-ft tall Darkwing Duck.

Can someone edit this picture but with Darkwing Duck in place?

My main issue with Illuminations is the globe. It takes up a huge chunk of the show and it's difficult to see. The projections are very dated compared to the castle projections. I'd rather see more fireworks compared to the globe sitting out in the middle of the water.

Personally, I've also seen it so many times that I'm ready for something fresh. One nice thing about going out to Disneyland is that every time I go, there's fresh nighttime entertainment. Whereas I go to WDW, and it's still the same nighttime show, minus a few upgrades, as when I was 5. One of many reasons why Epcot is my least favorite park.

But, you haven't lived until you watch it so close that you actually get ashes in your eyes and hair! True - happened to me and DS one year by Rose and Crown on one of the places next to the water. We watch from further now.

some of those same IP's are growing weary on me, used everywhere for everything. Would have liked to have seen Pinocchio and a few others instead of that same repeated mix, oh well just personal preference. Or how about instead of movie after movie they celebrate the park attractions and what not like Disneyland did with theirs. Maybe for the 50th? And we dont know the status of tinkerbell's flight yet right? Really hope they dont cut that.

Disney Blog confirmed Tinkerbell stays! Yay!

Wait and see. Aesthetically it could be a vast improvement. Content wise it's undecided.

So it'll be pretty, but it'll be empty? Hope we at least get benches.

True but they need a little bit of something to keep the same mood of the park at night, Spectromagic had some kind of Christmassy heart warming feeling, wishes had it to but now they really need something to hold that up.
