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

[jrhwdw]

This. We have to. The new show is probably replacing the most inconic visual in the theme park world. It has a lot to live up to. Let's hope it does, if not surpass it.

Because if it doesn't it'll be a real issue.

I would HOPE TDO has that in mind! That it needs to surpass Wishes!

Speaking of Wishes, why are they replacing pyro in the final months???? Is it just supply issues? Or are they testing HEA pyro? I figured they would start that after hours, after Easter

Supply issues and running down the stock.

Well soon everyone will be wishing WDW still had Wishes

Unless you've seen a preview of the new show, I don't know why there is a need to be so doom and gloom about it. If it sucks, then let's be outraged. Let's not be outraged before we've even had the first shell fired off. I'm willing to give it a chance. As much as I love Wishes, it's getting a little stale. I actually watched it from the Rivers of America walkway in front of the Liberty Belle just for a different vantage for the first time earlier this month just to feel like we were watching something different.

As a person interested in supply chain, could you elaborate more on the supply issues?

There is no point using common sense and reason. Thats never going to fly round here

So by early May, will they be using whatever 4th of July fireworks have arrived at Walmart to avoid getting stuck with unused pyro?

I can't.

No outrage here, just expectations being set appropriately i for one would love a show that made me say Wishes what is that. That said

Disneys recent history of underwhelming replacements is more than enough justification for a doom and gloom outlook

That would cost money, WDW will just do the projection show and call it good

 

[jpeden]

I can't.

Completely understand!

Why will it be an issue?, As far as TDO is concerned the tourists are getting a fireworks show and it will likely cost less per show

Yes I know some still care but the default attitude is 'they are tourists what do they know' at TDO

Let's be thankful that we're getting an actual Theme Song!!! DLP just posted the opening scene from Disney Illuminations(Computer Animated) and DLP got SDL's Ignite's Theme: A Dream Is A Wish! Why is recycling so popular now?!?!?! Even TDL used SDL's Ignite's Frozen segment for Frozen Forever ! They didn't even do a full Let It Go for a Frozen Show! I don;t get it!

its cheap(er), and they figure the tourists wont know any different.

Exactly... it's actually severely expensive to create new music, and record it/edit it. Much easier for a park with a limited budget that wants a new show to use something already created. I'd rather get a new show with some recycled music then no show at all.. And I know that's a sad perspective when it comes to Disney...

So I guess TDO is paying dearly since they want HEA by full orchestra? I half thought DLP would maybe get HEA's theme since both are premiering within under 2 months.

Most likely. Union musicians cost a pretty penny, let alone hiring someone to create music, arrange it, orchestrate it...

Not everyone is a tourist at WDW.....

that's very true, Im not one myself, but that's the company's mindset all too often.

@marni1971 Aside from the already installed search lights on the sides of the castle, will we see anything else new? I think lasers was meantioned. What about park wide search lights? Main Street projections like DL used for Forever? Would still love to see a few fountains added in the water areas around the hub lol.
