    Default Some rumors for your enjoyment

    A few Disney fan site feeds have sprouted out a few rumors on Twitter and their site.. Wanna chew on some juicy info? Remember, these are only rumors, not confirmed by Disney in any way, shape or form..

    1. Wishes run will end in 2015/2016 with a new fireworks show starting in 2016... Working title: Dreams Come Alive

    2. Festival of Fantasy will be performed twice daily...

    3. The reason for the twice daily Fesival of Fantasy Parade is because MSEP will be taken offline for a major refurbishment/rebuild of the parade units...

    4. Because of the height of the new floats in Festival of Fantasy, come the holiday season, the garland which drapes across Main Street will have to be removed or reconfigured, which could lead to the possibility that there will be no garland decorations at all...

    5. Mickey's Jammin Jungle Parade will end its run in October... Mickey's Jingle Jungle Parade will only be shown during the weekends of the holiday season... This continues the entertainment cuts in DAK.. Eeyore was removed as a meet and greet character already (not a rumor, this has happened or will be happening very soon)...

    6. The reason for the end of MJJ parade? Well, remember Countdown to Fun parade in DHS was ended? The funds were allocated to Festival of Fantasy... Well, rumor is, the same will be happening here... Mickeys Jammin Jungle parade ends and the funds allocated to Festival of Fantasy...

    Feel free to discuss

    BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

    It will be a very sad day for me if they end Wishes! It is my all-time favorite! Just can't imagine a trip to Disney without Wishes.

    I will also be unhappy with no garland draped above Main Street because of parade floats. That stinks. Kinda like the Epcot Christmas lights that never got replaced. You would think a company such as Disney would figure out a way to keep these holiday elements the guests love so much. Sigh, not that I am surprised tho!

    While I like Wishes, it is a decade old now... although, Fantasy in the Sky ran for 3 decades, right? Still, I wouldn't be adverse to a new fireworks show. "Dreams Come Alive" isn't very original though... isn't the Disneyland show called "Dreams Come True?"

    As for Festival of Fantasy, I would NOT be happy without a night time parade at MK! And I really would not be happy with no Christmas garland! It seems as if each year the Christmas offerings get reduced more and more. The garland is a huge part of the theme!

    It is about time they get rid of Wishes. I am so sick of that grating song with those children singing. The show itself is rather underwhelming by today's standards. I hope they do something more similar to what Disneyland did for the 50th anniversary...make the fireworks about the parks, and not so much the old movies. I loved hearing theme park/ride sound clips and then having accompanying fireworks. That was SO cool.

    Agreed! I'm glad for a Wishes replacement.

    Now, where are those Illuminations replacement rumors?

    Interesting note: When my DD20 was in training for her role as a character attendant, the CM trainer gave some interesting history on Wishes. The kids singing are actually "Make A Wish" kids...one of the kids had a wish to be involved in a Disney "show". She was recorded to be part of "Wishes", but passed away before getting to see the final show. My DD & I tried to investigate to confirm/deny whether or not this was true, but haven't been able to find anything on the true origin of Wishes. I realize it could be an urban legend, however the trainer that related the story had been at MK long before Wishes started and everything else she told the CP's checked out. Whether or not it's true, I always count my blessings whenever I watch Wishes. There are a lot of "Make A Wish" kids and families out there, and I feel very fortunate to have a healthy & happy family. Wishes just reminds me of what's really important in life.

    This is an urban legend. The "little girl" who sings the Wishes song is a child soloist named Charity Farris. Her name appears on the inside CD cover of the Wishes soundtrack. She is alive and well.

    This rumor has been going around for YEARS now and it's not true, thankfully. I don't understand why someone would start this kind of rumor. I think it's in very poor taste.

    Regardless, the sentiment of the show is indeed very moving. I just find the singing annoying, that's all.

    The Jammin' Jungle Parade is one of my favorites but I never seem to last that long in AK to see it. I'm done in that park well before 4 p.m. Still, it makes me sad to think it will be gone.

    Good riddance to MJJ parade...made the park a nightmare to get around in when that was rolling through.

    I loved Wishes when it first debuted, but now I'm kind of bored with it. Still enjoy it, but if something new came along, I would welcome it.

    I totally agree! We have been trapped TWICE by that parade, at really bad times. That park doesn't seem like it's set up for a parade. They shouldn't have one there, IMO.

    Sky Dance was a rumored replacement for Illuminations a few years ago...

    I like Illuminations... Not because of the fireworks, lasers, or globe, but because of the music... The music, to me, is EPIC... I can sit here and listen to Illuminations (including the 30 minute long pre-show loop) all day...

    I wouldn't mind a replacement as long as the music is as awesome as it is now... if they used music like Wishes, I'd have a fit...

    I like the music too. In fact, I listen to it often. No, the music isn't the issue I have with Illuminations.

    Hey! Have you ever been sitting by the Tiki Torches on a 100+ evening when they light up during Illuminations? Ugh

    Seriously this.

    I've seen so many guests exasperated by that parade because they can't get by, so they walk a huge detour to find out... NOPE, can't get by here either. In fact, you can't get by anywhere! Sorry! GG no RE!

    I've only seen MJJ once, and I am glad it happened to be running when we stopped by that afternoon. It was the tail end of our only trip to WDW during December. Had it been weekend only, we would never have seen it. As such, I am sorry they've decided to deprive people of the experience who might only be there during a weekday.

    It's not - and neither was EPCOT when Tapestry of Nations/Dreams rolled out. But, I'm not sure how you were "trapped" by the parade. Most, if not all (with the exception of the Tree) of DAK's attractions are on the outside of the parade loop...

    Then what do you hate about Illuminations? The music is 99% of the show.. Without the music, you just have fireworks, lasers, and a giant globe...
