Wishes

Jiminy Cricket is your host for the show. As the lights go down, Jiminy welcomes guests you a short introduction:

"I bet a lot of you folks don't believe that -- about a wish coming true, do ya? Well, I didn't either. Of course, I'm just a cricket, but let me tell ya what changed my mind. Ya see, the most fantastic, magical things can happen; and it all starts with a wish!"

With these inspirational words, the show begins! What follows are 12-minutes of pure magic as you are whisked away through all the beloved tales of fantasy and romance from your favorite Disney films. The dazzling display weaves a thrilling "story in the sky" with hundreds of brilliant pyrotechnic effects exploding above and around Cinderella Castle.
