Magic, Memories & You To Be Replaced with New Show

[HackLaSalle]

After hearing of this and posting it, I got into wondering... What is the possibility of adding the technology Disneyland uses for Glow Lights with World of Color and soon Fantasmic???? If they are updating Fantasmic in DL with this technology, they could easily update MK and MM&Y with the technology too...

Man, I'm kicking myself now for not seeing it! We just never had the opportunity to catch it and now I guess we never will.

Kind of a shame .....

I'm ready! Bring it!! I mean I LOVE MM&Y, but I'm excited about seeing what they're cooking up!

In my Hello newsletter from Disney, it mentions "Summer edition of The Magic, The Memories and You! nightly on Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park" through Sept. 3rd. This leads me to believe there will be a Holiday/Winter edition of the MMY. I've never seen it myself, so I'm looking forward to hopefully catching the new show, whatever it may be.

IThis leads me to believe there will be a Holiday/Winter edition of the MMY.

The summer edition was the same show with a couple of unique overlays thrown in (like a beach scene). That didn't require any refurb time. Last year's Christmas version was the same deal. There were some unique scenes, but nothing that required a shut down of the show. Whatever the new show is will truly be something new.

As I was reading this a tweet popped up with a link to a new post on the Disney Park Blog. Here is some information on the new show.

Disney Park Blog 8-22-2012

Beginning this November, guests visiting Magic Kingdom Park will be able to enjoy a new nighttime projection show on Cinderella Castle. “Celebrate the Magic” will incorporate favorite elements from the current show, “The Magic, The Memories and You!,” with all-new music, storytelling and special effects.“‘Celebrate the Magic’ takes us on a journey to the heart of the most beloved Disney stories and characters,” said Show Director Katy Harris. “This amazing show will magically transform Cinderella Castle with spectacular projection effects, choreographed to a new music soundtrack. The show will be full of emotion and storytelling, proving that, with imagination and magic in our hearts, anything is possible.”

“The Magic, The Memories and You!” will be presented for the last time on Labor Day, September 3, at both Magic Kingdom Park and Disneyland park. While “Celebrate the Magic” will be exclusive to Magic Kingdom Park, Disneyland Resort guests can look forward to the return of “it’s a small world” holiday later this year, as well as the debut of a new live entertainment experience in the Fantasyland Theatre, opening in summer 2013.

You beat me to it Cindy. I was just coming in to post that.

Sounds good. Glad they're changing up the projection show to keep it fresh.

[DizneyFreak2002]

Why don't I ever make bets that anything new Disney names would have dreams, memories, magic, or celebrate in the title... LOL..

Sounds like guest pictures will NOT be part of this show... I felt that was the weakest part of MM&Y... Already an improvement..

Hopefully this show only improves on the technology used in MM&Y, which was a pretty decent show...

Got to see MM&Y 2 times during our trip to WDW last week. I agree that the weakest part of the show was the photos. Not clear or large enough to even know who they were and we were right at the castle.

Glad we got to see this as well as MSEP since Spectromagic may be back before we return.
I loved MSEP BTW....

I am fine with a new show. I hated the photo part of MM&Y. I loved the rest of the show, but always felt that the pictures and videos just got in the way of the cool projections.

I can't wait to see what the new show will be like.

For what it's worth, MM&Y at Disneyland was just not that good. They always had technical problems with it and the Small World facade isn't ideal for that type of thing as it has multiple textures, colors and moving elements already on it.

Hey, were you eavesdropping in our recording of the podcast last night? I essentially say this same thing.

Were you talking extra loud? Maybe I heard it and it stuck in my subconscious...

It has such a creative title, too!

Remember the Magic

Disney names things by throwing darts at a will covered with marketing buzzwords: "celebrate," "remember," "magic," "fantasy." It's the only explanation.

So true! Kinda of like the name changes the towers of the Disneyland Hotel has gone through in the past few years, AFTER they were changed from the original, unique names of Bonita, Marina and Sierra.

Dreams -----> Adventure
Wonder ------> Frontier
Magic --------> Fantasy

Whoopee.

Saw Magic, Memories, and You on the last day when I was at the Fireworks Dessert Party and had a great view, I'm so glad I saw it!! One of the CM's at the party said it was the last showing ever, so it definitely will be a new show coming!!

[Dsnygirl]

Wish the new show was premiering while I was going to be down in October... would like to see it w/o all the photos/videos. NOT my favorite part of the show, but loved everything else -- think if they've improved on that, it should be awesome!!

Looked at the couple pics on the blogsite and am impressed with what they are doing with/to this display.
