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

[Natsalways1]

I will say it was a bit hard to tell from the Disney Live stream how the fireworks are...but WOW. Amazing!

Tangled is my favorite and they did it right. Altogether stunning visuals and I loved the music overall. A lot of focus on movies from Eisner on...but that is ok. They are great movies.

Love it love it love it.

I enjoyed it, but as usual some people just like to pee in people's cornflakes. Why even bother???

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 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

Nice! Well enjoy!!

Great show, Wish it was used for Hollywood Studios instead.

Locked and loaded?

Sorry my opinions do not agree with yours or anyone who thinks Disney can do no wrong? Do your comments about me hurt my feelings? Absolutely not lol.

Yes in fact i have a PH.D. don't forget the period. Again, I am a strong African American man with a PH.D. When you join the 2 percent let me know then we can go toe to toe.

Is this guy serious?

I really don't feel like indulging you tonight.

No worries. Any one who thinks Disney can do no wrong will get teary eyed at the drop of a piece of glitter on a Disney notepad at the emporium. Then spend $20 on it. Lol

Loved the pyro and lighting design, great job guys!

Some really nice new pyro products being used too.

I wonder how people enjoyed the show on the other side of the castle? Oh no wait they missed Most of the show because it's only good from the front.

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.

I was really hoping it would be, but I really liked the song choices otherwise. I really appreciated Trashin' the Camp.

From my position in front of Walt's statue it was stunning. Crowd loved it (though I imagine new shows attract crowds that will, by default).

Thought the music, projections and pyro were a giant middle finger to Universal, personally. Loved it.

You're making me want to watch it now!

My $.02...

Lacked flow. No cohesive "feel." Projection technology is impressive, but I just personally don't enjoy it. Pyro is tangible; you can feel it. Projection feels I'm looking at a screen, which I already do all day.

I was expecting a reduction in pyro to cut costs. Glad I didn't bet on that, as if I had to bet now I'd say there was a 20% increase in pyro. Very well done.

Ultimately though it isn't fair to compare to nostalgia, and not fair to judge a new show on a YT live stream. The pessimist in me wonders, however, if the pyro was increased just for opening night and will eventually be dialed back? I'm not normally one of "those people" so don't hate...

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.

I noticed a small bit of it during the first segment, I'll have to watch again to see if I was hearing correctly...

The problems is you basically miss most of the show, with Wishes or whatever else you didn't need the castle to enjoy the show. Don't get me wrong it wasn't a bad show, but it wasn't great.

Sounds like rivers of light lol
