Is the new castle projection show running AFTER Wishes?

[ekatiel]

We leave in less than two weeks, so I'm in full on touring plan mode right now. I just went to update my touring plans, and the castle projection show is listed at 10:45pm, while Wishes is still listed at 10pm. Does it run AFTER wishes or is this just a mistake on Disney's calendar?

 

[Robo]

Yes.
It runs AFTER Wishes.

Yes.
It runs AFTER Wishes.

Do we know how they are handling the Dessert Party and this show? Is the Tomorrowland Terrace staying open until after OUAT?

 

[Robo]

The Dessert Party is for Wishes.
Guests can stay in (or move to) any area they'd like after the party.

 

[ekatiel]

Yes.
It runs AFTER Wishes.

Thanks. Now to figure out what to do with the 30 minutes in between. . .

Depending on where you are/what the crowd is like, 30 minutes is about what it takes for the crowd to adjust post-wishes

I wonder if the Terrance party people can move to the plaza viewing area for it?

Any idea why they are not showing it before and after, especially with no parade?

Crowd control (?)

It looks like they are trying to rectify the really bad situation they had created when they had been scheduling THREE major nighttime spectaculars (MSEP, CtM, & Wishes) timed in such a way that it created a crush of guests trying to cram themselves in one place (the Hub) for multiple events.

This is the reason that at DHS they are scheduling (on most days) Fantasmic! and the New Star Wars fireworks shows in such a way
that the mass of guests exiting F! do not try to crowd into the small area in front of the Gt. Movie ride to see the fireworks.

I far prefer it after the fireworks, since I don't like Wishes but I love the castle show, so this is good news for me.

But I would presume that on those nights when the fireworks are closing time, it will still show only at the usual 15 minutes before.

I was just checking for my week in December and Wishes is scheduled at park close at 10pm (there is EMH), but it says the castle show is still at 10:45. Is this true or would they show it before? I just moved a dining reservation so there wasn't as much lag time before the fireworks since the show was running after.

 

[Robo]

If MK actually has a closing time at 10pm, there will be no show at 10:45pm.
As to whether there would be a Once Upon a Time show before the fireworks on those nights remains to be seen.

The greatest unknown (and this is nearly a day-to-day issue) is when and if the posted park hours and events will be extended.

For me it's time to hit up Casey's Corner.
