As is probably obvious now, my emotional connection was more about the fantasy of making wishes and having them come true (plus a lot of nostalgia with Jiminy Cricket), not necessarily the number of times I saw the show. I think the Wishes song was full of emotion vs. the new one being more inspirational, and it didn't hurt that Wishes had the child (or child-like?) voices singing. As I type, I think that maybe it was about reconnecting to the innocence of childhood when Santa and the tooth fairy were real (spoiler alert!) and wishes could come true!
I will say, I did like the voices/singing in Wishes better. But I think the new track does sound more like Pop music than Wishes' track did. It sounds like you connected with Wishes immediately which must make it so disappointing for you that it's gone now. But I do think people in general tend to associate these fireworks shows more with the family being there, the memories of seeing it, and having that show become a tradition over time. That's why I will be really curious to see what happens if they change it in the future.
