Happily Ever After is a fireworks and projection mapping show which debuted at the Magic Kingdom on May 12, 2017. Unlike its predecessor, Wishes: A Magical Gathering of Disney Dreams, the show includes projection mapping across Cinderella Castle, lasers, and searchlights, in addition to pyrotechnics. The show includes characters and music from a wide array of Disney films. The music also includes a theme song from Angie Keilhauer and Jordan Fisher.
A keyhole appears on Cinderella Castle. A narration says that each of us has a dream and, when we pursue it, we embark on a journey, only if we look inside and ‘unlock the magic within’.
Magical pixie dust flows through the keyhole and covers the castle and surrounding turrets in royal red and gold as the Happily Ever After theme song plays.
Introduced by Tiana, we see various Disney characters longing for their deepest desires. Ariel wishing to be ‘part of our world’, Remy for his own career as a cook in Paris, Rapunzel for freedom from her tower, and Quasimodo for one day to be ‘out there’ from the tower of Notre Dame.
Songs include: "Down in New Orleans (Prologue)", "Part of Your World", and "Out There".
Introduced by Merida, characters from Brave, A Bug's Life, Cars, Up, Finding Nemo, and Moana are shown embarking on their adventures.
