    7 Reasons You’ll Love Happily Ever After

    1. It has a beautiful message The one thing that made Wishes so special to me was the message it offered for guests—our wishes are the magic in the world and beautiful things can start with a wish. Somehow, Happily Ever After took that message and built upon it, offering guests this new mantra—you are the key to unlocking your own magic. Wishing is wonderful and it is powerful, but ultimately the

    5. It’s Celebrate the Magic and Wishes combined For me, Celebrate the Magic and Wishes was a package deal. When Celebrate the Magic ended, I feared that Wishes wouldn’t be too far behind—and I was right. However, the creators of Happily Ever After knew the significance these two shows had and made it a point to incorporate many of the elements into the new spectacular. From the Pirates and Tangled

    4. Incredible soundtrack When I first heard the title song for the show, I will admit I was a little nervous. It sounded too pop like and not in keeping with what I was used to from Disney shows. Thankfully, the version that was released wasn’t the exact version used in the show, nor was it the entire soundtrack. There are modern twists on favorite songs, like ‘Love is an Open Door’ and ‘Go the Di

    3. It’s nostalgic One of the things that made Wishes so appealing was the fact that it held such a strong nostalgic value that people couldn’t get enough of. Thankfully, Happily Ever After gives us plenty of that as well as it references plenty of older movies that adults in their 20’s especially will appreciate and, like me, probably cry over. And some day, the newer movies will become nostalgic

    7 Reasons You’ll Love Happily Ever After

    When Disney announced that Wishes: A Magical Gathering of Disney Dreams would be ending at Magic Kingdom, many people, including myself, were devastated. Wishes held a special place in many guests’ hearts as it was emotional, nostalgic and a beautiful representation of all the magic Disney brings. However, we never could’ve known that its successor, Happily Ever After, would do the exact same thin

    7. It’s longer than Wishes While Wishes was a decent length for a fireworks display, Happily Ever After runs long enough to fully immerse you in the story of the show and keep you captivated the entire time. Some may argue that it’s too long, clocking in at 18 minutes versus a little over 12 minutes for Wishes, but if it was any shorter I would feel unfulfilled. It gives you time to truly apprecia

    6. Fireworks, pyrotechnics and projections, oh my It cannot be denied that Wishes was a little old school, which is why we loved it so much. It didn’t need projections or the like because Celebrate the Magic filled that void. When Celebrate the Magic was replaced, it left that hole that Wishes simply couldn’t fill on its own, and Once Upon a Time just didn’t quite do the job, either. Happily Ever

    7 Reasons Why Winter is the Best Time to Visit Walt Disney World

    5. Cooler weather While Florida doesn’t typically have a ‘winter season’ by most standards, it can experience chilly days quite often. We’ve had days where the starting temperature is 28 degrees! However, most of the temperatures will hang around the low to mid 80’s, with occasional days in the 70’s, which is definitely better than high 90’s and humidity. Trust me—my sweatshirts and scarves have g

    4. Seasonal merchandise I’m the biggest sucker for merchandise and seasonal merchandise in particular is a favorite of mine. There are always new ears to fall in love with, new holiday t-shirts and magicbands, and, of course, plenty of tasty seasonal treats you’ll want to get your hands on. Every year I either get a new pair of ears or a new sweatshirt depending on which one calls to me more, but

    3. Lower attendance Because it’s harder for people to get time off during the winter season (unless it’s around the holidays), you have a good chance of going to the parks when the attendance is significantly lower than during other points in the year. If you go during the week leading up to Christmas until New Year’s Eve, you will see substantial crowds. However, the crowd levels during most othe
