"Celebrate the Magic" Nighttime Show Coming Nov 2012

[Thor]

According to Marni over at WDWMagic, MM&Y will be closing on September 3rd. He says they are preparing a brand new show as well as fixing infrastructure and relocating the projectors. No date has been given for the new show but it is believed to be ready by the holidays.

Is it too much to ask for a new Fireworks show instead of replacing the new entertainment? Is it Disney?

Maybe that's the replacement... Hmm....

Well if they were going to do a new show anytime soon, Phase 1 of FLE wouldn't be a bad time to start.

Wishes/MM&Y hybrid coming soon. I can dream.

For what it is worth allow me to add that I heard the exact same thing backstage from a conversation between two show producers back in December of last year.

I like having the three shows back to back to back. Find a comfy spot in the hub and watch MSEP, MM&Y and Wishes without changing spots.

Hate me all you want, I absolutely love Wishes and I never want it to go. Ever. It's so perfect and even though I've literally seen it 20+ times, I can't get over it.

Magic, Memories and You is really good as well, but I'm not completely upset that its closing. I especially hate that screen they put in front of the castle for the show, and they don't bother to take it down before Wishes starts. It's really annoying in pictures of the castle/firework.

DISNEY Dreams?

(The show is great in person btw, as with most night time shows videos don't do it justice...)

I know a version of the show has been planned for MK. Whether it happens soon or not...well, you know the deal.

And it's a very good show in person. It needs A LOT more pyro though. But overall it's better than anything we have in WDW.

The show is closing on September 3rd and the new show will be called "Celebrate the Magic".

I hope this can pave the way for a show like Dreams but when it comes to WDW, as Skip said, you just don't know whether it'll happen or not.

From the Parks Blog:

Beginning in November, “Celebrate the Magic” at Magic Kingdom Park will transform Cinderella Castle with spectacular new projection effects. Disney Parks Blog readers are among the first to see our newest sneak peek images.

When shows begin, “Celebrate the Magic” will feature all-new music, storytelling and special effects. It’ll be a journey to the heart of the most beloved Disney stories and characters, according to show director Katy Harris

Do they still do the white lights castle christmas show or is this a replacement?

Yes, the crane is actually up right now placing those lights on a castle for Christmas. This "new" show is simply the Magic, Memories & You show's tech with different film being projected.

Shows apparently begin November 13.

They did a preview (with no announcement...) on the 12th (before Holiday Wishes) when I was there. DEFINITELY cooler than MM&Y. They kept a lot of the more popular segments from MM&Y like the rocket ship, pirates (with enhancement), etc. It's definitely a cool show and gives the guests something to look at before Wishes.
