On Saturday, I was able to see the new fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom. It's call Summer Nightastic and it was okay. I think I honestly need to see it again before I completely write it off. I thought I read that there was going to be some other effects. Saw a picture somewhere that I can't find that had a picture of Dumbo in it (and it wasn't a Disneyland picture as I know Dumbo flies there). Maybe it was my imagination.
They started out kind of slow with the Fairy Godmother speaking. There was some fighting over the castle being pink or blue from the little fairies from Sleeping Beauty. (Hmmm why would they fight over what color Cinderella's castle is???? Can understand Sleeping Beauty's at Disneyland, but not here.) The pirates took over at one point and the castle was under attack. That was a great effect. It was also a play off of the Pirate and Princess party fireworks. The fireworks were the only good thing about those parties! I want to give it another chance.... there were some cute moments, but overall, they just didn't capture Disney's magic as much as Wishes does. There is something magical for me when I watch Wishes. And Wishes is romantic. I want to see them with that someone special one day and kiss under the falling sparkles of light.
These fireworks are suppose to go only until August 14th. I noticed a sign as I was going to Magic Kingdom that said expect delays nightly for perimeter fireworks.
