I don’t know what you are smoking, but the new show is so much better than Happily Ever After. I don’t like any of the projections on the Castle or Mainstreet. Disney is known for there firework shows, and I am happy that they are showcasing fireworks again in the new show. Sure, The grand finale is very weak in the new show, but at least they are using fireworks again as the star of the show. I hope Happily Ever After NEVER comes back.
I agree – after Wishes we felt so deflated by Happily Ever After. We struggled to see any of the projections and had to rewatch on YouTube. I’m 5ft 6 and my wife is 5ft 1. At least for fireworks we look up like everyone else.
I’m sorry but what are you on? The fireworks for Enchantment are pathetic. I’m a Wishes stan through and through but at least outside of not being Wishes I loved HEA, I have so many negative feelings about Enchantment from its runtime to its song choice to its weak usage of pyro. I would rather have almost any other show.
When you go into something with certain expectations you will almost always be disappointed. People need to be more open minded and not so eager to complain. Eventually Enchantment will end and be replaced with something new that people will complain about. Personally I thought the new show was great. Do I miss Happily Ever After? Sure I do. But I also realize nothing lasts forever.
Om not s fan if the new show and need to see it on person. Very weak on storytelling and giving you a emotional impact as other shows have. A paragraph maybe once a month or on special occasions bring back the old shows.
It was exactly Disney. With the same terrible auto tuned Princesses “singing” just as badly as they do at all of the fireworks shows. Exemplified by Christina Aguilera in with her cleavage and power thighs. Everything syllable in the lyrics stretched out to a dozen. The music is always the worst part of each Disney fireworks show. Yuck.
The fireworks themselves were good. The musical score and projection mapping felt like a step backward from HEA. For the 50th anniversary it also focused way too heavily on modern disney instead of disney movies and parks through the years.
These positive reviews of Enchantment are obviously Disney goons hired to watch social media for stories like this and quickly retaliate. Both Wishes and HEA were far superior. You’d have to be blind and deaf to not see it. It’s got no “feels”! On the positive side, you can slip into more rides while everyone is watching this new garbage.
Don’t bring HEA back, bring back Wishes. Enhance it if they must but Wishes was beautiful, emotional and had continuity. It had a great message. These new shows that string together songs from the more modern movies are disjointed and have little feeling. And get us a night time parade!
Disenchantment was disappointing and nothing compared to happily ever after fireworks show. There was no nod to walt disney or the parks or nothing. They could have used songs from the movies but they had people singing it instead. There was also no build up to where tinkerbell flew. It didn’t hold my attention either. They flopped with disenchantment
I was there on the 50th. The projections are a disappointment, the score is terrible, and the pyro is incredibly lacking.
I was cautiously optimistic about this show until the livestream happened and I didn’t care for the song choices. The show only continued my disappointment when I watched it in person rather than the docks of the grand.
It’s not a matter of my fav is gone, my favorite has been gone for four years now. It’s just a weak show and significantly lesser when compared to any and all of its predecessors.
If anyone ever saw Disneyland’s 50th fireworks show “Remember Dreams Come True” than right away you would know this is a huge misstep and let down.
There is ZERO emotion or nostalgia with Enchantment. It’s the 50th anniversary but you would never know it watching this!
A decent fireworks show, but nothing special at all.
If we are going to petition to bring back a Classic MK Park Closing Show, why don’t we petition to get Wishes brought back during the 50th! Hands down that is the best MK Park Closing Show I have ever seen. Add in some Castle and Main Street projections to plus the original show! Instant Magic
They just need to adjust the current flow and a little add some transition work. Maybe add some Walt Voice over about the Florida Project and problem solved. Also the placement of where Tink takes flight needs some work. There is almost no musical build up or anticipation. I cry when I see her fly in Wishes and same with HEA. I didn’t get anything with the this past show. Like her flight doesn’t fit in where it is story wise or musically.
Another “improvement” by the wonderful, greedy CEO Chepak, who values $$ over the emotional (a k.a. magical) customer experience.
This guy has no clue about customer satisfaction. The 50th anniversary (especially post COVID) should be an once in a lifetime experience, instead Chepak makes it like visiting an outdated mall.
I was lucky enough to see the debut of this new show (and got amazing seats in Tomorrowland Terrace to boot, no extra charge because there was no dessert party) and thought it was… fine. I did have pretty high expectations, though. I still think Wishes was their best fireworks show ever.
I was unimpressed with
HEA anyway. Call me old school but I’m a Wishes hold out. IMO, nothing beats Tink starting the fireworks and ending with a bone rattling finale and amazing music. I’ll see for myself the new show next month but I already dont have high expectations.
Karen culture is out of control. The show is great. If they don’t like it. They should make their voice clear with their money. That’s Disney’s language. Until then, scoot over in trying to watch the show.
Didn’t care for it. Really want Wishes or Happily Ever After back. Heck while your at it Disney bring back the Main Street Electrical Parade or Spectro Magic.
I agree with others that Wishes was much better than the more recent shows. I sure wish they’d bring it back. I never tired of it. The newest show really had a “miss” when they didn’t use the original music from the movies.
The new show looks like a company financially hurting. Seems pared down, but I only got to see it online. Won’t know until next year what the in person experience is like in comparison.
Honestly, Enchantment looks pretty darn impressive from the video I saw. So excited to go see it. The projections are absolutely state of the art, and it hits a tone that is just right for the current year.
This show had little to do with 50 years of WDW. Not one hi ho or Steamboat Willy. The new show is decent. The only thing to me that said 50th was the big 50 on the castle.
Enchantment left me disenchanted. No magic or emotion in this at all. So much for 50 years. Don’t let bob paycheck destroy Walt and Mickey sign the petition.
Me personally, I prefer the Happily Ever After Show more than Enchantment. The music and projection in Happily Ever After is a lot more emotional and epic for me. I wish that Disney will bring back the Happily Ever After show (with more fancy fireworks, new projection and new characters like Disney Planes, Kim Possible, Little Einsteins, Star vs the Forces of Evil, etc).
The new show is HORRIBLE. Talk about a massive let down. I was so disappointed by the new show that I couldn’t sleep for two days. No joke. Compared to HEA, Encrapment is an embarrassment.
Watching the video (attending later this month), it is entertaining. There are parts I agree with that are lame, parts nobody mentioned that I found poorly thought out, and parts where some of you are just being unreasonable about.
I actually got goosebumps a few times watching it, can’t wait to see it in person. This being despite the issues I didn’t like. It was done beautifully, in a technical sense, for sure.
Here’s the thing, though…I watched a refresher on HEA, afterward, and was immediately reminded that, indeed, it’s better. Enchantment was entertaining, but Happily Ever After was a different beast that really appeals to the wallets that fund the journey to the park. Enchantment is absolutely for the youngsters. Us fans of Quasimodo and Baloo are being phased out, and it isn’t pretty to watch, but it’s their business model.

I agree with you. Wishes was so much better. Fantasmic became my favorite fast after I viewed HEA a few times.

I thought it was subpar compared to HEA . Happily ever after had a very short run and was taken too soon .
Catherine

And that’s by design. Wokeness destroys.

Totally agree
Should’ve started with steamboat Willy and shown through the years

You probably think I get paid by the Clintons to be a Democrat too 🤔 🙄 🤣. I liked it. Sue me.

Any nighttime show is great for us because it gives us a chance to escape while everyone else is comatose.

Any of them will be fine. Just get rid of the vocals in the music. Instrumental music only.

I wonder how many of the complainers have actually seen the show in person and not just online.
The show will be staying in spite of the petition. This ain’t the same as folks complaining about noodles no longer being on the menu.

Enchantment and Harmonious were underwhelming. I long for Wishes and Illuminations again! They wrre such good shows.
Brensk
I would prefer, if anything, to have Widhes return. The soundtrack was so touching and meaningful. Much better than just a sampling from Disney songs.
Kate
Didn’t care for it. Really want Wishes or Happily Ever After back. Heck while your at it Disney bring back the Main Street Electrical Parade or Spectro Magic.

I agree with others that Wishes was much better than the more recent shows. I sure wish they’d bring it back. I never tired of it. The newest show really had a “miss” when they didn’t use the original music from the movies.

Wait…not the original music?
Nick Johnson
Love Wishes!
Disappointed by Happily Ever After (if you are going to create a petition, please use proper English and capitalize proper names).
Really enjoyed Enchantment! Thought the story and emotion was spot on.
Then again, I detest mayonnaise, while so many seem to enjoy it. Go figure.
Vickie
What difference does it make now that the fireworks are temporarily closed
Randy W
The new show looks like a company financially hurting. Seems pared down, but I only got to see it online. Won’t know until next year what the in person experience is like in comparison.

Happily Ever After was not impressive. Wishes or Fantasy In the Sky they need to bring back.
