Wishes is being replaced!

http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions...-happily-ever-after-nighttime-spectacular.htm

I know people on here generally like this idea of changing it up, but what I am seeing from the "real world" of facebook is that there are also a lot of people very upset they are changing Wishes. It just brings around the point "you can't make everyone happy".

No commentary, but I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

People defintely become attached when something is around for 14 years.

I'm in the exact same boat.... already planning on seeing Wishes on the 10th, now I'll have to try and see the new show on my last night, the 12th

Thankfully, my last night is the 13th, so I'll do day 2 which theoretically will have less crowds.

I do this with my husband too. This is my one topic that I know before him. I am trying to get him to go on another WDW trip soon (he doesn't want to go until after Stars Wars Land is open) so I have been sending him everything new that comes up. No go so far.

don't stop trying!

I often wonder if these types of pyro shows are all programmed of if they are one offs. I mean would it be feasible on the two show nights in the summer to do one of each (wishes and the new one) or is that not a flip of the switch, add fireworks in launch container type of thing that can be done. I would suspect the Illuminations and the Christmas extended one are just that. However, probably more on the pyro side for a whole show change. Music and lights would probably be flip of the program switch.

Thinks Ng the exact same thing - a lot of people have an emotional connection to Wishes (probably more than any other show) - myself included

I will say the music featured in the preview video gave me a similar feeling as that in Wishes so I am cautiously optimistic

That promo video actually has me really excited about this - the music sounds great, the visuals look really good. I'm totally ready for something new and fresh. I'm also excited to see projections and lighting designed to take full advantage of the new lighting elements they added around the castle.

DCharacterNews on twitter is reporting we will see one more announcement. This person said we would get an official Rivers of Light announcement today.

Any timeline of when we might see this mystery announcement?

I would imagine by the end of this week. However there is nothing that suggests when.

question: with the specialty magicbands that are version 2.0 - is the feature that causes the "special effects" connected to the puck or the band?

Guess I am asking if this one will result in special effect but then you move the puck to a different band, will you still get the special effects?

Puck, the band is just a band, it has no capabilities except for holding the puck.

ok, thanks - I knew all the info as far as passes, etc. was stored in the puck but didn't know for the "special" bands if that aspect was seprate from the puck. Appreciate the answer

Everything lives within that icon.
