Like many of you, I had heard that the new Disneyland fireworks were amazing and on the level of Disneyland Forever, Wishes, and Happily Ever After. So I didn’t watch the media previews for it and went in blind on the first day of Disney 100th celebration.
This is NO WHERE NEAR ON THE LEVEL OF DISNEYLAND FOREVER OR HAPPILY EVER AFTER. Not even close. Its basically Enchantment (plussed up) with musical influences from Harmonius. It was good. But just good.
I watched it from Mainstreet and the projections were BEAUTIFUL. It was art on the buildings. The segment of Aladdin in Happily Ever After where it was hand drawn scenes of him fighting Jafar and made just for the show, take that and expand it and thats the projections for this show. It was actual cartoon scenes rather then just shapes and effects. The theme song is good but nothing that gets you in the heart like HEA and DL Forever.
The issue I have is, like Harmonius, they take multiple songs and sing them at the same time at the top of their lungs. I HATE that style of music. These songs are legendary on their own, this ruins them. The other issue is there is no big suprises. DL Forever had snow, inflatable underwater plants on top of the roofs on Mainstreet, rotational sparkling fireworks on the castle turrets, it was a spectacle. A true nightime spectacular. Baymax is the only practical and extra thing to this show. Other then that, its just fireworks (and not alot or big) and projections.
side note: Toontown and laying on the grass, runaway railway and its queue are truly AWSOME. And the stainless steel tumbler is BEAUTIFUL. Beef Birria sandwich at jolly holiday is extremely tasety as is the chicken salad at Pacific Wharf. The addition of fountains to sleeping beautys castle moat is PERFECT. Had an amazing time overall.
