Happily Ever After - Live Event on Disney Parks Blog - Yes or No

[Sweettears]

Thought it was great. Watching at home I can't gauge if the pyros were diminished but it seemed to me that they were pretty impressive at points. I think the biggest thing I miss Is Jiminy Cricket along with some narration. Good show but didn't have much of a story. I was fine with the music and singing.

I LOVED it. Totally lost it when "Now that I see you" started. Those lanterns! Cannot WAIT to see it IRL in Sept.!

So happy Tink still has a job

Also, I'm looking forward to seeing The DIS' video or one from one of our folks that had a fixed camera position. The zooming in and out didn't help my enjoyment, though I loved what I saw!

Anyone watch from California Grill? I would love to know how show looked from there!

I left the park an hour ago. I was torn about missing it but I know that I made the right choice. That was nuts! It's going to take hours to get out of that mess on the bus.

Oh man. You have to be kidding!

Didn't like it at all...the fireworks weren't coordinated to the music at all. They gave way too much time to unpopular movies. Barely any Cinderella on her own castle and no mickey mouse! Big disappointment. They should have given Illuminations a make over and kept wishes.

 

[Sweettears]

I didn't watch it but I'm so happy you guys like it. Does it have a moment of wanting to shed tears like every time I heard star light star bright during wishes lol

There is a bit of that in there. Although I have to say that I'm not sure I got tears eyed the first time I saw Wishes

Glad Tink was still there, the projections and colors were amazing. Didn't like the vocals.

It's starting again. I guess it's just the recording of the live stream.

Fireworks were coordinated fine with the music. I like it better than Wishes.

yeah, if they didn't have the producer on before telling us what the storyline was I am not sure I would have gotten it - and I am a sucker for Jiminy Cricket so definitely didn't like the new narrator as much ... but the show itself was incredible

Yes, this!!! I always got teary/goosebumps with Wishes. None of that here. It was an impressive show, but I prefer Wishes hands down.

I was glad to see a shout out to Tarzan. Other than the since cancelled show at DAK there is nothing.

haven't seen that yet but I saw on facebook somone posted some footage from Ohana and the music was very prominent as were the fireworks, but obviously couldn't see the projections great

although I was disappointed they didn't use the Phil Collins version of the song

The projections on the castle are amazing and I'm sure in person were even better than on the computer...I think having the projections takes away from the fireworks and at times the fireworks seem like an after thought. Can't wait to go and see them live!

Despite my typo you are missing my point. Wishes became emotional to me but not as much the first time. I think HEA might generate the same response as time goes on.

Agreed. Probably would have cost Disney a couple of thousand dollars.

I'm waiting...we're there in June, so I want to see it in person!
