Wishes have been a major part of a lot of people's lives. Since Walt Disney World is visited by thousands of people each year, a lot of them being a vacation for a one-time thing, or the vacation that is taken every few years or so. WDW is not a park that is used to seasonal changes like Disneyland Resort. Whereas Disneyland has a lot more flexibility and leniency with changing some of their attractions like firework shows every couple of years or redoing haunted mansion for The Nightmare Before Christmas theme around fall. Since the majority of Disneyland goers are frequent visitors, and the park is a lot smaller, it's easier to change attractions and shows without much outcry. Wishes have been a part of the Magic Kingdom for well over a decade. Although Disneyland Resort is used to changes, Walt Disney World is not, especially when it comes to the most sought out park, Magic Kingdom.

Now for many people in the Disney College Program, Wishes has been a staple of Instagram photos, Facebook photos and just so many memories in general. With thousands of students coming year after year to work for The Walt Disney Company, Wishes was one thing almost everyone would watch in the beginning and at the end of their program to signify their time at The Walt Disney Company. International CP's and Domestic CP's will and probably continue to post pictures of Wishes. People will still keep singing the song that is so loved by many.

Although Wishes is gone, a new show has emerged in a time where The Walt Disney Company is experiencing many changes all at once. With the opening of the newest park expansion, Pandora from the movie Avatar (not the last airbender, that movie doesn't exist), to the opening of Mission Breakout (tower of terror ride replacement in Disney's California Adventure Park.) I would like to think of it as a symbol of changes. Signifying that change is good, because Walt loved changes and he said it himself, that "Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future."

Happily Ever After is no Wishes, but it is an amazing show. It showcases movies that were long forgotten and brings back nostalgia to those who remembers. Also, it sheds light on the new movies such as Big Hero 6, Moana, Zootopia, Frozen. It doesn't have Frozen overshadow a lot of other movies this time around like it did when they revamped Celebrate The Magic.

The actual Happily Ever After song is on iTunes and Spotify sang by Disney Channel Star, Jordan Fisher and country singer Angie Keilhauer. The song is an amazing story from beginning to end. About dreams, hopes, love, friendship and unlocking the magic within. It is such an inspirational song. It really has a lot of recent music inspiration compared to Wishes, but it doesn't make it bad nonetheless. Change is good and we have to keep moving forward and embrace the changes to pursue all we can, with what our imagination can lead us to.
