UPDATED FULL Version of Disney Enchantment Featuring Walt & Roy Disney at Magic Kingdom

[@WDWNT]

Are these changes enough to save Enchantment?

[@facusmendoza1061]

Yeah but if were made back in october 2021 to late disney 10 months too late

[@Disney_101]

Nope.

[@sabrinaskyes9122]

Definitely not

[@facusmendoza1061]

Guys im agree with you

[@chuckdillingham]

Nice of them to come up with a show that feels like a 50th anniversary in time for the 51st!🤣

[@hollyxo9540]

This show was perfect, ‘you are the magic’ after the lockdown period was the message we all needed

[@chrismcdowell7138]

They finally got it right! They remembered the one person’s dream, who brought Disney World to fruition. Sure it started with a mouse, but the mouse would not have been realized, without Mr. Disney’s dream. Congratulations to the Disney folks for recognizing that if it wasn’t for Walt, there wouldn’t be a 50th.

[@scottwhite14]

You think this was Bob Iger's doing? He listens to the fans.

[@scottwhite14]

@@chrismcdowell7138 you said they finally got it right. Things were a lot better for the spirit of Disney under Bob Iger, and this happened after the old CEO was removed. So it could have been an initiative towards honoring tradition. What you mentioned definitely is implying the prior fireworks wasn't good and the prior CEO many real fans didn't like. So there is clearly a correlation.

[@scottwhite14]

@@chrismcdowell7138 why do you think I was unhappy? I literally just asked a question if anyone thought this was due to Iger coming back which it clearly was lol. And people like you agreed and were happy for it and the changes that happened from it. I didn’t disagree with your point of view and agreed it’s a cool change lmao. Not sure why you’re so angry or attacking random people over a question haha. I wasn’t specifically asking you anything, just commenting on a video for the algorithm. Don’t take things personally, and not sure what McCarthy you are referring to. But feel free to elaborate on who and what you meant about they.

[@chrismcdowell7138]

Mr. Iger probably wasn’t involved with the revised 50th Castle projections, since he was pretty much semi-retired since 2020, and fully retired late 2021. Since Disney World/Magic Kingdom was/is under Mr. D’Amaro and Mr. Vahle managements, I believe they were probably the ones making these type of decisions, based on the negative PR, over the original 50th projection Castle show. Mr. Chapek was also probably involved, since he was pretty much over-managing, at that point. Christine McCarthy is the CFO who apparently made that fateful phone call, to Mr. Iger, that led to Mr. Chapek’s ouster, within hours. Just guessing at all this intrigue.

When mickey closes out saying “ you are the magic” my heart 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 so cute

[@Leo_Henry]

There's no real magic without Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. It's still a small thing, but it has added great value to Disney Enchantment. I will certainly see this show with different eyes from now on.⭐

[@ImaJENationMenagerie]

Exactly!

[@toddw8396]

And Roy Disney…who actually built WDW! 😃

[@Rtp4k]

EVERYONE IS THE MAGIC THATS THE POINT

[@jamesgeorgi6627]

I also add that they managed to figure out a way to get the message across. You could argue that both the guests who come to the park and the characters represented in the show provide magic throughout the park every day

[@toddw8396]

@@Rtp4k Now hold on there just a minute…A major reason to have a 50th Anniversary is to commemorate this place we call Walt Disney World that opened in 1971 (the life work of incredible people). You can’t just exclaim (in all caps) “Everyone is the Magic” and run out of the room. 😂

[@steventuscano9233]

This Is Much Better than the First Version of Disney Enchantment! 😍😍😍

[@soitsmelaura]

Cried at the beginning so yup that addition is great and I like that the song ties everything together and then Mickey wraps it up

[@toddw8396]

🏰Roy’s speech at the grand opening (1:45)…that hits the heart…dedicated to the dream and gives his brother Walt all the credit. 💙

[@toddw8396]

Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse, and don’t forget Roy Disney who made sure his brother’s dream was actually constructed…yeah, this is what the 50th really needed to be about.

[@kyleschwartz2501]

Walt & Roy thank you for building this incredible place that my family, as well as others have enjoyed for most of our lives. This place is truly the greatest place on earth!

[@Michelle_B.]

After completing my CP this last January, this show reminds me of all the fun times that I had with my friends and the emotions that I felt watching it for the last time as a CM

[@Feral-Orange]

I remember, back in 2022, my mom was planning to take my grandmother and I to Disney for 50th anniversary cuz we’ve been a Disney family since..forever. We unfortunately weren’t able to go since my grandmother was diagnosed with brain and lung(?) cancer and she passed just before her birthday. 💔She always made Disney trips interesting, still believed in everything, and for me personally, always made me feel like a little kid again going back every two or so years. We’ll be going in May and on our first Disney cruise, but it’ll be our first trip without her and we’ll just be missing the 50th anniversary. Seeing this makes me wonder what it would be like if we were all there together for it. But, I know she’s going to be with us. Love you gamma ❤

[@Drygdhjvghdg]

I'm sorry for your lost

[@mordequan]

Seeing these changes to Enchantment to make it feel more like an anniversary show gives me hope that they’ll add the dialogue from Harmonious Live into the actual show to give it a better story line.

[@jamesgeorgi6627]

Yeah it’s never to late to give Harmonius improvements

[@utopiaa_1775]

see i already love harmonious but if they added the narration to the show then oh my god it’d be perfect

[@ericcrum7351]

Harmonious needs to go goodbye. I love parts of the music, but it's a clip show, and the sightlines are awful and the pyro is disappointing. To me. However, things change, and at least I'll have the rides to myself at Epcot. Enchantment was fine IMO. It just needed a tag for context. I do agree with others Epcot needs a tag. I guess the beacons of magic are the tag, specifically SSE.

[@amateurmeteorologistjoshbrown]

This new sequence of Disney Enchantment really makes perfect sense!

[@curtisparsons4473]

This show will always hold a special place in my heart because I was fortunate to work Casey’s corner the summer of 22’ while on DCP. Even now over 2 years removed it stirs something in my soul that no other show really does. Is it better than happily ever after? Idk but I know I will never forget that summer and this show brings back so many memories. I remember thinking all the time when I was working. “Oh my God I can’t believe I’m working in front of the castle”. It’s hard to put into words how much this show means to me. Thank you for capturing it forever for us fans.

[@fifitheshutdownchannel1666]

i cried throughout the whole thing when I saw this live. the whole thing really did heal my inner child :'D

[@smilemiles2384]

I saw this for the first time just 5 days ago. I was so emotional. It was SO PRETTY and I had chills the whole time. I enjoyed every second of it!

[@maritadotten]

I worked at Disney World for a year. Now I have a boring officejob. Whenever I see this I cry, not sad tears, but its the most beautiful thing I seen in my life. Ive seen the Disney fireworks sooo many times. My bucketlist is to see it again and with friends and family! Words cant explain how its like in real life

[@stephen2278]

It made the show way better and I love how Mickey is the one saying “You are the magic” in the finale now. It would be way better if during the finale there was a choir harmonizing like in the Disney Dreams finale (Disneyland Paris old show) and also more fireworks in the finale like Disneyland Forever had.

[@svis6888]

DISNEY DREAMS WILL COME BACK IN APRIL !!!!!

[@reubenrubina5694]

Thank you for this version, my wife and I listen to it while we watch the fireworks neighborhood almost every night since we move to Florida

[@justsiimba]

i just saw this yesterday, this was probably the coolest thing i’ve ever seen

[@emilymiles8896]

just left disney 3 days ago and i’m ready to go back im sobbing over this video

[@mariohiccupwitwicky8453]

Even though this was way too late, I’m just glad these creators finally understand what and who this show is and should actually be about.

[@solonhamer5822]

While I agree it should’ve been there from the beginning of the anniversary, I say better late than never considering they’re still celebrating until March 2023.

[@abiliciousbakery8779]

I honestly DO NOT understand all of the hate towards this show from the Happily Ever After show fans. This is an incredible show that demonstrates all of the parks history, and where it all came from. Other Disney fireworks shows font hit the same as this in real life. I started crying the minute the blueprints showed.

[@Matterhorny]

People just have to hate on things

[@jessesaffron6093]

For me at least, it's not because I hate Enchantment, I think it's great, actually. I just think Happily Ever After is just way better. The intro part showing the origins of the resort and some of the iconic rides in Enchantment is amazing for the 50th anniversary, but everything else doesn't really hit as hard emotionally as HEA, whether it be the music, the fireworks, or the projections.

[@SashaLalmansingh]

Walt Disney was a racist and sexist. Why would we want to continue to celebrate that?

[@jessicasmith9599]

I agree. I LOVE the music in this show (so much more than happily ever after)!!!!

[@MrPaiam1]

Exactly! This show is much better than Happily Ever After. I want Disney to bring this show back.

[@thefamilymouseadventures9522]

Thank you so much for sharing the updated version of Enchantment!! I loved the first version but this one is even better!!! I love the addition of Mickey and Walt himself! It’s perfect now. Cannot wait to see it in person! 😊

[@Brielle_Lynn228]

By far my favorite show at DisneyWorld. I went there the last day splash mountain was open and I was mainly there for the show (and Splash Mountain of course). It makes me feel so magical! 😊

[@tclark1122]

This is great. I didn’t mind the show even before. We got to see it. And it’s so very special in my heart.

[@MommyNancy1979]

I love Enchantment ❤ Thanks for posting this!

[@PedroHenrique-sx7uk]

I’m just so happy they did this, the show is much better, It May not be perfect, but they listened to the fans and for what It seems they learned from their previous mistakes, that was the better they could do.

[@enzojayden1]

Yes ur right!

[@lliamjurdom9505]

Disney is an incredible achievement for one mans vision and his brothers steady accounting competence from the first day of their great partnership.

[@ImaJENationMenagerie]

Why wasn’t the show made like this to begin with? Is Disney so disconnected with the park goers and fans to create a show that no one wanted? This show finally feels like an anniversary show. It’s now, finally, partially filling the very large shoes of HEA. Mickey ✅ + Walt ✅ + Roy ✅ = FINALLY!

[@ians4535]

The duration of this show is now 18 minutes, similar to HEA.

[@ImaJENationMenagerie]

@@ians4535 I noticed… and then I laughed.

[@chloewildner167]

Yes. Corporate Disney is that disconnected. But it’s not that they didn’t know what fans wanted. They just didn’t care. They don’t think we represent park-goers as a whole. Hopefully they learned something from this mistake.

[@brittneyvaleski9402]

The old recordings were extremely difficult to auto tune. From insider reporting this was to be the thought initially but Walt’s voice was tough to enhance at such a volume. Glad they finally figured it out!

[@matthewleininger8079]

Also, don't forget that the WD Corporation had a different CEO when this show was created who has since been fired and replaced with his predecessor. Things got a little bit better when that happened.

[@fairieofficial]

The Walt and Mickey section brought more 50th Anniversary uniqueness which we were probably all expecting in the first place. So glad they added this eventually

[@gabrieldally6044]

Mickey at the end saying you are the magic was truly incredible

[@fortimusprime]

Whilst this certainly is a step in the right direction, I think Enchantment now suffers Identity Crisis. What was teased in the beginning is what it should've been all along, but now we get a weird hybrid between Park Anniversary and Film Celebration. It is better than what it was before, and It is a step in the right direction; props to Disney for adding that even though it's too late. But what was added, is what it should've been all along: The 50th Anniversary Celebration of The Most Magical Place on Earth. But I will admit I got emotional seeing the new intro and the addition of Mickey Mouse. That's what makes Disney, Disney. Happily Ever After is still superior, and I can't wait for its triumphant return. Happily Ever After knew what it wanted to be since the beginning, and it emotionally and successfully delivered.

[@cruiseboston638]

Sorry but nothing will compare to Happily Ever After! I have seen it in person and also so many times on video. Most people want the magic, a story and Disney songs with heartfelt lyrics. I don't understand how a group of EXECS in a room thought Enchantment was ideal with an orchestra and less lyrics?! This addition of Walt, Roy and Mickey makes my heart swell...however wow almost a year too late for so many guests that can not afford to visit often. It is just shocking how bad they missed the boat on this. smh For now I will appreciate this addition and be thankful. Thank you so much for this video. 🥰

[@TwilightLink77]

What about comparing Happily Ever After with Wondrous Journeys?

[@alexisbailey7097]

So beautiful. I love this show!!!

[@mattandsarahaschan]

I'm so glad THIS is the version I got to see. Though I was a bit spoiled. I was at an After Hours Party, so I got Happily Ever After and this in the same night. With the addition of Walt, Roy, and Mickey, I was sobbing directly from the start.

[@leealvarez6857]

Much better but they should have said something to the effect of how Roy loved his Brother so much that he made sure to complete Disney World for him and have Disney World thank him for that . Just a little more emphasis on Roy Disney. This was his moment.

[@AJPlutosWorld]

2 years on and this show still makes me blubber!! I cannot wait to come back to WDW soon!❤❤

[@dannygrau2983]

I love the fact they added Walt Disney. Should have been there all along, but better late than never my friend.

[@radiantliving6543]

NOW they got it right, wow....!? This beginning is GREAT & Would have been Fantastic from the beginning! Nearly a year later, Why wasn't it this from the start🤔🤩💜 Well Disney Co thanks for listening to your fans...

[@EternityGroups]

FINALLY!! For the first time, I’m actually starting to love enchantment as the anniversary show! Good job improving it Disney!

[@kennyc201]

Well don’t get used to it 😌 2023 is the return of HEA

[@Stark_117]

It was terrible honestly. Zero feels. Glad it’s gone in April. It’s 100 steps lower than HEA

[@omarpresa796]

[@charatertravels]

hope they keep! this is was disney world means to me.

[@etittle1978]

The Magic Kingdom and Walt Disney World Resort was the push of Roy Disney to get it done to honor his bothers dream.

[@jackybones5887]

Wow. I thought the first one was good but it was missing the feelings of true Disney, something Disneyland does proudly. This does a good job at honoring Walt and Roy. It felt like Disney, not just another tourist attraction like normal

[@spider_bite2429]

i remember watching this at the park and it was the first time i went to disney in 14 years

We stayed on property 2 weeks ago, and I found it interesting that they have HEA available on demand on the room TVs.

Shockingly, it’s growing on me. I’m actually excited to see it in person now 🤷‍♀️

[@GPC-tu7ti]

I had written this show off due to watching (part of...it was so dull I couldn't stand it) the original version. I thought Happily Ever After was phenomenal, and Enchantment was SUCH a let down. Fireworks/Nighttime Spectaculars are one of my favorite thing about WDW, and I couldn't believe I was going to go down and NOT watch MK's show. But the additions of Mickey, Walt, and Roy do save it for me. I will make sure to see it when I'm there. It's still not even close to Happily Ever After IMO, but it's at least enjoyable to watch now.

[@MrKelvin2230]

[@bullwrinkle29studiosshow37]

I’m glad they brought back happily ever after back this week before spring break cause that show was badass and awesome AF. Also I’m glad they added Walt but enchantment will forever and still be one of the most probably worst and forgettable firework shows. HEA and Wishes are the OG’s everyone remembers.

Disney Enchantment reopens in summer 2024?! (opens with Paint the Night Electrical Parade)

[@kimmie7683]

I am sooo happy that they presented Walt and Roy and Mickey. I love Angela Bassett but Julie Andrews should have been the hostess of the show as she opened the park in 71 AND.... those singers... the original characters would have been better you know? but... guess you can't have it all.... i can't wait to see it....

[@josephm5353]

It's about damn time, it only took them almost a year to acknowledge Walt and Roy Disney, but from what I've been hearing all over the web is that they may be changing Walt Disney World to just Disney World, so I'm fearing that they are trying to soften the blow to fans if they go ahead with the name change. They've already omitted Walt's opening day speech from Disneylands Birthday last month. I don't believe or trust the management of the Walt Disney company these days and wouldn't put it past them to slowly remove Walt from the Wall Disney company

[@utopiaa_1775]

ok but that walt rumour? utter bs he’s literally the origin and the namesake of the company, them forgetting to play his speech ONCE doesn’t mean they’re purging his existence

[@kimmie7683]

THIS WOULD TRULY MAKE ME ANGRY AND THIS IS WHEN WE ALL NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND PROTHEHELLTEST! CAUSE HE IS THE REASON WE HAVE OUR PARKS ITS HIS PARKS! WHY WOULD THEY REMOVE HIS NAME.... I CERTAINLY DO HOPE THAT IS A RUMOR CAUSE ...NO.

[@cruiseboston638]

Tinkerbell did indeed fly last night (8/22/22) Weather was likely the cause for her being absent tonight.

[@liadelrio1091]

I watched the original Enchantment here on youtube when it debuted last year and thought it was meh. Definitely not up to the same standard as HEA so I was disappointed with it. I didn't bother to watch it again because I knew I would be going to Disney before the end of the year so I figured I would watch it in person and see how I felt about it then. Well yesterday was my trip, and I saw it live at the park for the first time and was pleasantly surprised at the changes made. I love it now! Its so much better for an anniversary show and it all flows together amazingly. HEA is still my favorite, but this one has now become a very close second.

After I watched Enchantment for the first time last December, I said to my family that I wished they would have included projections of Walt and Roy and / or the history of WDW. I LOVE that this is included now!!! It really makes it 100x better in my opinion. I will probably not see it in person before it’s changed again, but I still love that it’s a thing. Lol

As a person who watched all of the Disney night-time spectaculars in-person and on sceen, this is a one that I have HIGH hopes for, ITS DISNEY WORLD, the most magical place on EARTH! I have mixed feelings about it, the sound track is definitely beaten by Hong Kong Disneyland's Momentous Soundtrack and performance. This is easily beaten by Fantasmic, and Momentous. This is really good, but could be better.

[@charlottebowker2447]

I do like it but what about the hunchback of Notre Dame (Out There) like the scene. I just wish they would put that in.

[@abibachelor1249]

I wasn't fortunate enough to watch any of the 50th shows in person, but just from watching online, Harmonious seemed amazing. This on the other hand seemed to be a bit...lackluster. Like it's missing something (even with what was added). I really liked the Frozen and Moana section but that's about it. I feel like more intention went into Harmonious which is fine. Both shows served their purpose. I'm glad HEA is back though and I hope to see it in person one day

HKDL still has better storytelling as their chapter are more touching and better planned. But the amounts of fireworks still is really amazing comparing to any other parks around the world. Btw, SHDL is cutting 10% fireworks in 2023 due to they run 2-4 "ILLUMINATE" per night, so cherish the epic firework.
