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.

Or drones... but there's nothing that can match a good old-fashioned firework as far as bang for your buck...literally!

We'll be leaving the 7th, guess we'll catch it one last time. I still can't believe I haven't heard anything about a night time parade..... I can't believe we won't have one when we go??

Watching the Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights with the cameos from Walt was one of the most comforting times when I was a little girl. The best part of the show was seeing Tinkerbell fly across the castle with fireworks going off. It seemed like an invitation to a magical world. I never got to WDW until I was an adult with my own children. Wishes took me back to my child self, full of awe and wonder. I like the other night shows at WDW, but for me they are just attractions. Wishes has been something truly magical for me. I can't imagine anything replacing it could be better. I am afraid we are losing something as essential as the castle itself. I wish they would add new shows if they must, but keep Wishes at least for some nights.

Me Too. I have the same memories of Wonderful World of Disney. Tinkerbell mgically setting off fireworks over the castle. Even when our old TV was black & white!

I love Wishes, but I am ready for something new. Whatever show it is, I'm sure it will become another sentimental favorite.
