New details, concept art released for new ‘Disney Enchantment’ fireworks
The new fireworks show coming to Magic Kingdom as part of the 50th-anniversary celebration will focus on the more modern Disney and Pixar characters. And, yes, Tinker Bell will take the sky to fly.
“Disney Enchantment” debuts on Oct. 1 with the launch of “The World’s Most Magical Celebration.”
“Since opening day in 1971, dazzling fireworks shows have provided that perfect exclamation point at the end of a fantastic day at Magic Kingdom Park,” Mark Renfrow, Show Director, Disney Live Entertainment said on the Disney Parks Blog. “From ‘Fantasy in the Sky’ and ‘Wishes’ to holiday spectaculars and ‘Happily Ever After,’ each new show has raised the bar, and the best is yet to come! I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’re creating with ‘Disney Enchantment.’”
According to Disney: This all-new spectacular inspires everyone to believe in magic, featuring characters, moments, and music from dozens of Disney and Pixar animated films. In the new show, the dreamers are represented by Tiana, Miguel, Rapunzel, and brothers Ian & Barley from “Onward.” The audience goes on out an incredible journey with adventurers such as Moana, Raya, and Judy Hopps. Joe Gardner from Disney and Pixar’s “Soul” takes viewers into “the zone,” to discover a whimsical world inspired by the style of legendary Disney artist Mary Blair and filled with beloved characters from classic stories like “Beauty and the Beast” and “Alice in Wonderland” to contemporary tales including “Luca” and “Wreck-It Ralph.” Everything builds to a climactic moment, as Tinker Bell takes flight, spreading shimmering gold pixie dust and empowering all to believe in ourselves and the magic all around us.
In addition to the projections and fireworks around the Cinderella Castle, there will be enhanced lighting and immersive projection effects that extend for the first time down Main Street, U.S.A..
There is also an original song, entitled “You Are the Magic,” by seven-time GRAMMY-winner Philip Lawrence.
“And throughout the show, stunning fireworks fill the sky, providing a great experience for guests throughout the park and neighboring resort hotels,” according to Disney.
Here are some additional artist concepts of the show, released by Disney:
