WISHES, the NEW fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom, debuted to the public October 9, 2003, replacing the long running Fantasy in the Sky fireworks which premiered in 1976.
THE STORY: Narrated by Jiminy Cricket, "Wishes" tells of making wishes come true, using classic Disney songs and character voices accompanied by meticulously choreographed fireworks.
According to Disney, "Wishes" was created in honor of the launch of Magical Gatherings, the new program designed for friends and extended family traveling together to Walt Disney World. The show is designed to bring guests together at night for a heart-tugging spectacle that will create lasting memories.
INTERESTING FACTS
The show runs approximately 12 minutes, about five minutes longer than "Fantasy in the Sky," the previous fireworks show at Magic Kingdom.
There are 557 fireworks firing cues, and 655 individual pieces of pyrotechnics.
"Wishes" features the voices of:
* Jiminy Cricket , the Blue Fairy and Pinocchio (from 1940's "Pinocchio")
* Snow White and the Evil Queen (from 1937's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs")
* Cinderella (from 1950's "Cinderella")
* Peter Pan (from 1953's "Peter Pan")
* Ariel (from 1989's "The Little Mermaid")
* Aladdin and Genie (from 1992's "Aladdin")

Steven Davison, the creator/show director, is creative director with Walt Disney Creative Entertainment. He also developed the "Believe. . .There's Magic in the Stars" fireworks spectacular at
Disneyland.
Fireworks designer is Eric Tucker, an award-winning pyrotechnics designer who previously designed the fireworks for "IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth" at Epcot.
Music director is Steve Skorija, music director for Walt Disney Entertainment.
The composer/arranger is Gregory Smith, who previously worked on such Walt Disney World productions as "IllumiNations 25" and "Splashtacular" at Epcot, and the "Mickey Mania" parade at Magic Kingdom.
In addition to Gregory Smith's original theme, which is based on the children's nursery rhyme "Starlight, Star Bright," the score for "Wishes" contains portions of 12 songs from 10 classic Disney animated features:

"Wishes" features pyrotechnic effects never seen before in a Disney theme park, including several developed especially for the show:
* The show's "wishing star" crests approximately 100 feet above the castle's bright spires.
* The Blue Fairy is represented with a spectacular star-shaped shell that "paints" each wish high in the sky with enchanted starlight.
