What is Believe?

[DonnaRy]

I've been seeing posts that mention a Believe Show. Can anyone tell me what it is. I was at Disneyland this past October and I'm heading back next month. Don't remember seeing anything about this last time, is this something new to check out?

It's the fireworks, Donna..."Believe: There's Magic in the Stars"...known as Believe for short. It is a wonderful fireworks show, so don't miss it if it's showing while you're here. :)

Oh, I didn't realize the fireworks had an official name. I thought Believe was some new show or parade I didn't know about yet. ;)

Thanks!

It's only the best-done fireworks-only show ever done at any Disney park ;) (IMHO -- and I don't count Illuminations (WDW) or Fantasmic (WDW or DL) as fireworks-only)

Perfectly synchronized to the music, with some of the most touching music. Beautiful fireworks.

The fireworks shows used to be called Fantasy in the Sky and still is at WDW. Believe tops Fantasy bigtime.

Try to catch Believe from Main Street in about the middle of the street between the photo shop and Coke Corner. -- that's the best viewing area :D

Oh, I LOVE Believe. Unfortunately, I when my family and I were there in August, something came up and we weren't able to watch the show in front of the castle. We ended up watching from Frontierland. I'm not saying that was bad or anything (because it wasn't!), but people tell me I missed a lot of the lower fireworks. Plus, we were in front of some tall trees so that didn't really help. :)

Anyway, I hope I will be able to check it out again next time I am there since I hear that it is showing again.

I have to agree with everyone - I finally got to see "Believe" last week -- and it's one of the best fireworks displays I've ever seen....do not miss it!

We stood a few feet away from the Partners statue and had a nice view.

Don't miss it! :)

Actually, Brian, and others....the best spot to view Believe is not in front of the castle. They make you believe that (excuse the pun ;)) by the commercials, billboards, and some of the cast members even concur, but it's not true. You see, the fireworks are actually shot off somewhere behind the Toontown/Small World area. Therefore, if you stand in front of the castle, you are not only getting a sort of side view of the fireworks but also probably not seeing all of the lowers, which is a huge part of Believe. The true best spot to view the show is right in front of Small World, facing the left a little. This was the case for the Holiday version of Believe as well. You will have to look back towards the castle if you want to see a few short bursts that go with the main display and to see Tinkerbell but the whole show is best seen by IASW.

Have fun!
