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

[disney4life2008]

You mean just like the people who were behind the castle for Wishes and only saw fireworks? I'd imagine it would be the same experience, only those watching HEA from behind the castle saw more fireworks than those who saw Wishes from behind the castle.

If i recall, you could be in fantasy land and enjoy the entire show. I don't recall any significant projections?

 

[disney4life2008]

I did not watch the stream. I stopped myself because I'll be seeing it live Tuesday. I have received an influx of major Wishes fanbois doing nothing but praising this show to the high heavens, so I take that as a good sign

Lol

Didn't watch it but was there any Walt in the show? Projections, voice clips, anything?

Also who is the narrator? Jiminy?

Surprised when you wish upon a star wasn't part of the music in the show. Seemed more modern movies than older nostalgic ones

I was just re-watching and I think there is a tiny piece of it in the transition for Little Mermaid to the next scene.

There was no Walt, and it wasn't Jimney either. Actually not sure who narrates it but it's a nice voice.

Zero.

THEY DID IT! NO PYRO was cut from the testing! Perfection! We got I see the light, DLP Dreams' Out There and the finale of Go The Distance sounds like TDL's old Countdown Music!

As far as Tink, going from the testing vids, not DPB's, She was right on time. She flies on the last You Can Fly ,right into the last refrain. Just like Wishes, when she flew the music was loud.

[danlb_2000]

Any idea who did the opening and closing narration?

Sounded like Jeremy Irons, for a minute I was waiting for the guy to say "Like a Grand Miraculous Spaceship" LOL.

I loved how all the characters became stained glass at the end. It subtlety fit in with the message. Kind of like, "These characters found their Happily Ever After. Now it's your turn."

 

[aladdin2007]

so no narration at all? at least its not olaf, is mickey part of the show or is the magic kingdom even mentioned? i havent watched it yet will wait for wdwmagics vid.

My favorite line from the old spaceship Earth. Do not get me started on the new narrator.

I thought it was a great show. There were lots of fireworks, and the movies easily helped show off the theme.

Why is it if you didn't like this you get comments on how your jaded and in her just to dis Disney? My wife didn't like it either and she has been going to disney every 2 years since 1982.

It's perfectly fine to say you don't like it. I hate MK's PotC. There. I'm not a pixie duster.

The difference is when the reason you give is self-contradictory or you have strong dislike for trivial reasons or you tie it to a hatred of something else (Iger is the devil!!) or you just out and out make up spit like saying this has less fireworks than Wishes, which is not true at all.

So, some people are indeed getting a hard time for expressing a minority opinion, it's just that when the minority opinion is backed up by stupidity, then that is what's being attacked.

Note the people who are saying they liked Wishes' storytelling better... they're not getting attacked for that. Wishes had narration linking each segment, HEA doesn't. Valid point.

The characters almost open the segments. I know Merida, Tiana and Aladdin all open up a segment. The main guy opens and then leads into the finale.

That was my first thought also.

His tone and inflection reminded me of the narrator for the July 4th show.

And also Jeremy Irons.

I don't recall mickey or any of the classics. I think Jungle book may be the oldest. I think Cinderella was in there.
