(Hence the air quotes around permanently.) Guest satisfaction is the big one, and everything else really flows from that.Īt this point, I want to turn back to an article we published last July, long before fans started clamoring for its return or anyone had even seen its successor: Happily Ever After Ending “Permanently.”That post came after Walt Disney World officially announced that the beloved nighttime spectacular was being permanently retired, a statement of which we were highly skeptical at the time. With the “what” out of the way, let’s turn to the “why” and cover the company’s potential motivations for making this change to Disney Enchantment. It’s also possible that nothing will come of this for regular guests–one of the coolest tests recently was a montage medley that ran during Cast Member EARidescent Evenings. It’s always possible that more projections will be added or tweaks will be made prior to debut. It’s unclear whether what was tested is the finished product. It’s a lot like a holiday tag, but as an intro rather than an outro. The new footage is approximately two minutes long and plays prior to the normal Disney Enchantment. The recent test showed clips in the 50th Anniversary medallion, as well as on the lower sides of Cinderella Castle–not much on the higher turrets or what you’d typically expect in the way of projection mapping. Segments included scenes the famous “Florida Project” video that Walt Disney filmed to pitch what would become Walt Disney World, as well as footage scouting and surveying the site, other archival footage, and early-era ‘Vacation Kingdom’ clips. This test was of a modified version of Disney Enchantment, which included a new introduction featuring clips of Walt Disney, Roy Disney, Central Florida prior to development, and opening day. This overnight testing was for Disney Enchantment, but with a twist. While today’s news is not that good–still nothing on Happily Ever After–it is an incremental step in the right direction. Recently, more attention has been paid to testing by the fan community as we’ve gotten our collective hopes up that one of the tests would be an updated version of Happily Ever After.
They’re usually fairly standard testing, with teams getting ready for the seasonal shows or special events. Normally, these notices are released with a bit of advance notice–I can’t recall one previously going out on the same day (but that could just be bad memory). In this post, we’ll run-through the updates spotted during overnight fireworks testing at Walt Disney World, why these could be happening, and the timeline for a refreshed show.Īt the last minute, Walt Disney World scheduled overnight fireworks testing at Magic Kingdom, alerting nearby communities of this so as to not be alarmed by loud explosions at 1 am. Significant changes could be coming to the Disney Enchantment nighttime spectacular at Magic Kingdom.
