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

[djlaosc]

Hmmm.

Is that a good "Hmmm" or a bad "Hmmm"?

Should we expect a new park CD? (and if so, could we finally get Festival of Fantasy on the same CD? Or even MISICI or one of the projection shows?) Or are we to forget about new CD releases in the future (apart from RoL at some point) - I did notice a lack of CDs available in stores when I was there last year compared to 2014...

And are we due a new 4-park CD collection anytime soon? I know that not a lot has been built recently that would result in new music being released (mainly night time shows) - but the last one was released in 2013 - could we receive a new one by/in 2021?

Hmmm.

VERY insightful, thank you.

Any around for HEA? or is it too early?

 

[MTBaymax]

The billboards have been out for about a month. I imagine the HEA billboards will debut (in digital form) opening night.

I think I remember hearing that Quasimodo had a part in the show.

Hunchback is indeed in the show.

I've heard but can't immediately confirm that they will be testing tonight 11:45-1AM. Also Disney will have a LIVE stream on the opening night of Happily Ever After.

I'm surprised they're not doing a live stream for the last night of Wishes, that seems like the perfect opportunity to possibly convince some people to stay home and limit the craziness, even though that may sound like bad business.

They stream to encourage people to come, not go. Marketing 101.

I know, it's just been predicted here just how crazy the park will be on Thursday. Disney has to know how beloved Wishes has become through the years, so streaming it would be a nice gesture to fans who can't make it there live. It would also be the perfect opportunity to market HEA, without actually spoiling the entire show for guests who want to see it.

Not saying that's good business or marketing, just the way I'd like to see it, not that there aren't other options for seeing it live on Friday.

WOW! I wasn't expecting that for opening night! maybe they learned some things from DLP25.

I love that Disney's using "the third Magic Kingdom fireworks show EVAR!" as a literal selling point. Putting their cheapness on grand display (hint: it's not a good thing that it's only the third fireworks spectacular) while at the same time forgetting shows like Magic, Music and Mayhem, HalloWishes, Holiday Wishes and Celebrate America.

Love it.

I believe their intention was "third flagship fireworks show to be presented regularly" (compared to the seasonal shows), but let's don't split hairs. XD

On another note, who saw this coming a mile away?

The stream of the new show should give us good source audio for the new show.

Expect July 4 type crowds May 11, 12, 13. They are opening backstage areas for guest viewing of the fireworks, which is typically only done on NYE and July 4.
