I never view HEA from infront of the castle. Usually at a resort or Fantasyland area and still think it’s fantastic.

I don’t disagree that HEA is this way for some people, but I’ve rarely watched HEA with a view of the projections (especially before COVID), and have still thought it was a great show. In fact, even when I’m infront of the castle I don’t look at the projections at all, I’d say I consciously notice the lighting in the trees more than the castle. Anyways, not disagreeing that many people find it unenjoyable without the projections, but everyone that I know, myself included, think the show it just as good without the projections.

HEA is still a young show and their track record for replacements is quite bad.

Geez, lucky. 👍🏻 I had to pay for our private viewing. 😂

We didn't, as it was one of the smaller transportation boats from Wilderness to MK. We were the only ones on-board, and the captain asked if we wanted to stop in the middle of Bay Lake as Wishes! started so we could watch. It was pretty darn cool.

We had audio on our Wishes boat tour.

Agree to disagree on this topic. :) HEA is an ADD nightmare that, to me, is projections-first, lighting second, fireworks third. I don't really care what people want to claim is the shell count - Luminous has a ton of shells but when you're launching the same stuff from 5 arms at the same time, that count goes up in a hurry. And types of shells and how they are used matters. I "watched" 5 minutes of HEA from Frontierland last February and ... it was awful. You cannot get whatever story they are pretending to convey unless you are able to see the castle. I watched 'Wishes!' from two different places at the Contemporary, BLT, and from a boat on Bay Lake and knew what was going on because you had the audio going along with things. Well, except for that boat ride, but by that time in our lives we knew what to expect.

Just like in the Dinosaur retheme thread, we need additions not replacements. Animal Kingdom needs a nighttime show. Hollywood Studios needs a nighttime show (again) that's fireworks-first. Either of the 3 parks needs a daytime parade, probably Hollywood Studios. Stop it already with the replacements, bring on the additions and additional capacity and offerings. They've tried that already with Disney Enchantment and Harmonious and look how it turned out. The former was reverted and the latter was replaced immediately for a better show. It's sad we are not back to pre-Covid numbers in terms of parades and nighttime spectaculars. #SaveDinosaur

But the limited Wishes reruns they've done, like for cast member celebrations, already had projections created for it and included. Bringing it back would just do more projections not less. And last I checked, HEA is fireworks-first, projections-second. The numbers and % of the show speak for itself.

While not comparable to a whole new theme park, it'd be a heck of a way to capture all of those locals/APs who were fond of nighttime parades and fireworks while they're (essentially) blocked out from Epic Universe. With Epic requiring full-priced day admission, I can't imagine most AP holders will pay for more than 1 day until they can purchase an Epic inclusive AP. Not sure if Disney would, but it would be an easy win for them. Summer has also become a semi-slow time for the parks, so it would allow more guests to come in when they previously wouldn't.

I'm in favor of a nighttime show that is fireworks-focused, can be seen and viewed from a dozen spots inside and outside the MK, and doesn't have projections.

Starlight and Wishes would be a great Magic Kingdom summer promotion.

Starship8243 days ago

If they were to ever bring back Wishes I think it would need to be a limited time run. I love Wishes but I don't wanna see it just replace HEA. Wishes had its 13 years in the spot light and HEA got interrupted by covid and then 18 months of Enchantment. I'd love see limited time Wishes throwback in the summer with Starlight though.
