Well I knew there would be some orchestra based on the video. All I'm hoping is that this pop version, or anything like it, isn't in the show at all.

Will it actually be a pyro reduction or just the same amount of pyro from Wishes which is 12 minutes long, spread along the new 18 minutes Happily Ever After? Of course it will seem like a reduction but with the additions of projections, lasers, lights, this is nothing but an upgrade. But I guess it's a taste of preference, would people prefer just 12 minutes of pyro and nothing else supplementing it, or 18 minutes and a much more impressive infrastructure, technology and show elements.

I still say "nay, nay"
Might we see some things from Disney Illuminations coming to DLP in March?

Right, so the article posted on this website confirms Tinkerbell and the holiday versions of the shows to continue, so I can only assume that means perimeter effects as well.

Not filled with confidence given Iger announced cost cutting is to continue across the parks.
But I welcome the updated entertainment. It was becoming almost laughable.
DHS' 20 year old entertainment next please...

I would rather have 20 year old quality entertainment than most of the stuff Disney craps out today.

ROL has shows beginning February 17. So plenty of ROL shows prior to May 17.

I'm sad to see Wishes go
The music for Wishes was brilliantly done but that's just my opinion. The new show has some pretty big shoes to fill! I can't imagine walking down Main Street after the fireworks and not be singing "Wisheeeesss!" LOL

I just read that Hunchback of Notre Dame will be included in this show. This is the most exciting thing I have read about it and will be eagerly awaiting this segment. I fully expect to see, feel and hear "Hellfire."

I'm game. For all the pig headed decisions Disney has made this past decade, they've been consistent in quality with their nighttime offerings. I'm much more confident in this than I would be if another attraction was removed in favor of the IP of the month. (Yes Guardians, I'm looking at you!)

Agree, we did Narcossee's on our last trip for my wife's birthday. Fireworks is definitely an important element booking a late dinner there.

This 100 times over! I am so glad we got to see the original Star Wars Fireworks show at Hollywood Studios. The replacement projection/fireworks show is just such a step down in the fireworks department and I was very disappointed. Maybe it would have been better if I hadn't seen the original. Then I wouldn't know what I was missing.
Also thought the Disneyland 65th Fireworks show was quite an inferior show to the Julie Andrews hosted Remember Dreams Come True show that preceded it. The projections on Main Street were nice but the fireworks and music/story were nothing compared to the previous show. It was just a mash up of Disney/Pixar movie characters, classic and new, with no compelling story line tying the segments together. Some of the effects were very cool but it just didn't make me feel the Disney magic like Wishes, Dreams, and Illuminations do.
Wishes is my second favorite nighttime Disney show after Dreams Come True and followed by Illuminations and I will be very sad to see it go. That said, I hope the new show is great and makes me cry like a little girl! LOL! I am just not very optimistic this will be the case after seeing what they have done as follow up shows for Star Wars a Galactic Spectacular and Remember Dreams Come True. But I will try to keep an open mind. Can't wait till August to see it!

Only to be replaced a week later by an extended "temporary" Pirates segment.

Maybe the asterisks are related to what effects they will be using for those segments. Perhaps they will be the scenes accompanied by pyro and fireworks, with the others being projection only.
Cool to hear Hunchback of Notre Dame being included. Weird to see only two classic Walt era films though (surprised with no Snow White or especially Cinderella).
