Let's Talk about Wishes

Wishes: A Gathering Of Magical Dreams

This show started October 9th, 2003 and has now run for about 13 years.  This fireworks show replaced 32 year old Fantasy in the Sky show. While it has closed at Disneyland Paris, it's still going strong at Disney World's Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida. This show holds a vey special place in my heart, since it was the first fireworks show that I have seen at The Disney Parks.

The show is narrated by Jiminy Cricket, and uses classic disney songs and character voices and also an original song called Wishes (which makes me cry every time) accompanied by choreographed fireworks. Wishes broke a lot of boundires for the park because of its specially designed pyrotechnic effects that were never seen before.

Steven Davison, was the creator and the show director. 

The Fireworks designer is Eric Tucker. He's an award-winning pyrotechnics designer who has previously designed "IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth" at Epcot.


Steve Skorija was the music director for Walt Disney Entertainment

While Gregory Smith designed the songs (Wishes) used in the show.

Yep, That's right. This song is sung by Peabo Bryson. The same man who sang the 90s pop versions of A Whole New World and Beauty and Beast. I hope you enjoy this song and the show just as much as I do.
