How was this? How does it compare to CTM? I would love to hear about it.

well i dont want to watch it since i dont want to ruin it i just want to hear what people thought

I wouldn't watch any videos right now. A lot of them are putting up lesser quality videos since they all wanted to be the first to post it. I'm waiting for the DIS's video of the show. For what I saw, I like this show a lot more than Celebrate the Magic. CTM was getting old for me, and I would usually skip it on my trips unless it was right before the fireworks. I really feel like this new show tells a story more than Celebrate the Magic did.

Just curious to see if anyone who saw the new show has any opinions!

I watched it today and I was less impressed with the content compared to CtM. But I'll freely admit I love CtM and it would bring me to tears. This show did not. It looks like a quality show though.

Overall, I was pretty unimpressed with it.
The projections themselves are good, and the pyro is cool. But the story is very lackluster.
I walked away from it saying "You took away Celebrate for that? At least I don't need to stay after fireworks for it"

Is this playing every night? We will be there Sunday.

 

[knicksak2]

was wondering if anyone else had opinions on it?

We are locals and popped into MK on Saturday for dinner and a couple of rides. I was really hoping to like it, but all of us walked away feeling bitter that CtM was replaced with that. The projections were good, the pyro and effects were good, but there was no cohesive "story" and it felt like someone just threw it together. Much of it was paced slowly and Frozen got TWO songs' worth of time. There were only a few movies showcased and it felt massively incomplete. Kudos to Disney though on the self promotion because Beauty and the Beast is a huge part of the show and I'm sure that was done due to the live action movie coming out. I would've ranked CtM as a 9/10...Once Upon a Time is about a 5/10-mainly due to the effects.

Yes. Celebrate the magic and wishes are done nightly (except party nights or when the park is rented out) and this took the place of CtM

Unfortunately, it doesn't play on party nights, and since there's a MVMCP on Sunday, it won't be showing.

The show actually came from Tokyo Disneyland, where it's been running for a while. For WDW, they just cut some of the Tokoyo version, and added in Frozen (although Tokyo does have a seasonal version at includes Frozen). He rest is the same as the Tokyo version.

Ditto this exactly! We were there Saturday as well. I hate the new show and it makes me incredibly sad that CtM was replaced with such an inferior show. I felt like CtM really encompassed everything that Disney is about and this show is just am obvious promo for the new Beauty and the Beast.
