Wishes vs. Remember... Dreams Come True

[Missus Toad]

I've seen Remember... Dreams Come True, the DL 50th fireworks show (just amazing, btw) a few times from the castle hub, but have only seen Wishes from outside the MK and missed the audio. Can someone who has seen both give me an idea of how similar/different they are up close and personal? For instance, I just read that Jiminy Cricket is the narrator for Wishes while Julie Andrews does Remember. Also does Wishes focus on the rides like Remember does? And does anyone have any links to Wishes audio or video? Thanks!!

Wishes does not focus on the rides. There was a thread maybe two months ago that had a link to movies of both shows. That isn't too helpful though.

You can see the whole Wishes show on this site ( w/ audio ). Just go to the main page and check out the video section for MK.

Thanks DJ. Great video!

I see now that the difference is that Wishes is movie focused while Remember is ride/park focused, going through each of the lands. The shows are similar (except the Jiminy/Julie Andrews difference) up through the first Wishes/When You Wish sequence with the characters wishing, then they diverge, with both returning to the Wishes/When You Wish songs at the end.

For those who haven't seen it, I soooo recommend Remember if you find yourself anywhere near DL. There's nothing like seeing fireworks set to Haunted Mansion, Pirates, (original) Tiki Room, DL RR, Riverboat, 20,000 Leagues, Splash Mountain, Star Tours, Indiana Jones, and so many other legendary rides. Walt's and Julie's voices really add to the tear factor too, big time. Truly a very special show.

That said, I am looking forward to Wishes this fall! Thanks again for the preview.

Edit to add: Does Tink fly during Wishes, and where? In Remember, it's an amazing flight up and down on both sides of the castle. Some cool rigging that really makes you believe she's flying. Last time I saw Tink fly during MK fireworks it was between the castle and Tomorrowland.
