    Default "WISHES" ending

    I am so sad that Wishes is ending in May. Last date is May 17th. Hope the new show will be as good. Wishes will be missed

    I'm also happy about the change. It's time, and I really can't stand the song. Looking forward to something new!

    I still enjoy Wishes but it's thirteen years old. It's time for something new.

    I'm not sure what it was that made me cry each time I watched the fireworks. It could have been the music, the themes, or just standing there in the hub in front of the castle. I hope the next show makes me feel the same way.

    I don't mind a change in the show, but I hope I'll still be able to hear Jiminy sing "When you wish upon a star"

    I know change is inevitable. I understand that not everyone feels the same way about each show. But this and Spectromagic were my first nighttime events at Disney. I'll be sad to see it go.

    This is a little bit surprising to me, but I think I'm more sad about losing the Welcome Show...

    Seemed like longer. Our kids (now 28,21, & 18) grew up singing "Wishes" on return trips.

    Sadly, we will really miss Wishes - one of our favorite fireworks shows anywhere. The concern we have is that the trend with Disney has been to make these evening events more showy than fireworks. Wishes might be the last of the mostly-fireworks shows they do - although I hope I'm wrong. And while we've enjoyed some of the "projection" shows, like the new Star Wars at DHS, there are far less fireworks and it's more important than ever that you get closer to the Chinese Theater (and possibly the castle, depending on the new show at MK) just so you can see what is going on. With Wishes, you could see it and appreciate it from Main Street or all the way across the lake. With the new show, I hope you don't have to be within 100' of the castle just to see it.

    I love fireworks. I am excited to see a new show. Like the previous post I am worried that it will be more lasers and show than fireworks.
