I'm another person who went "meh" when they first announced the show. Then I saw it (by accident, I must admit, on the way to meeting family members for Wishes), and I was blown away. There were many times during the show when my sister and I looked at each other and said, "Did you see that?"
I also hope they keep the show after the current theme is over. It's deserving of a very long run.
Many visits over 35+ years!

If they are actually going to keep the show going, I really do wonder how that will work.
The lights used are very small. Additionally they are clear glass. I wish I had a photo to link to of the castle in daylight with the lights attached. You can see them, but the wires are the most noticeable part not the bulbs themselves. Yes, when the lights are on at night, all you can see are the bulbs, but these are not the conditions that would be in place. The better comparison is how it looks in daylight to see how "smooth" the surface is. The regular castle is not that smooth anyway.

I'm all for having a great multi-media pre-show before Wishes but I hope (here he goes again) some bean-counter doesn't eventually decide to phase out fireworks entirely and replace them with an LED/projection all technology no boom-boom alternative that any single park technician can run twice a night 365 days a year simply by pressing 'play'.
For me, fireworks over the castle is the iconic Walt Disney World image. How iconic is it? Every Walt Disney PIctures feature begins with it.

I'm sooooooo glad I'm not the only crier in the "virtual audience".
I remember reading about this and forgetting almost instantly about it. Now I'm off to check the schedule for next week to put it on "the spreadsheet".

I caught it by accident a couple of weeks ago. I decided it was a great time to try another feature on my new iPhone, so I tried recording it. I, too, got all teary-eyed when I watched the show in person. I have to admit, watching the recording on my iPhone also gets me choked up. The special effects are truly amazing. Disney at its best!!!
