Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks debuted this past Friday at the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of 2019. Unfortunately, the first party of the year was a rainy one, but since then, the weather has cooled and crisped up, making it perfect for recording and experience this new fireworks spectacular. Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks features medleys of classic holiday songs, including “Joy to the World”, “Deck the Halls”, “Up on the House Top”, and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.”
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is set to kick off tomorrow, November 8th, 2019 for this holiday season at Walt Disney World. Not only that, there will be a new fireworks show that will debut during the event. This new fireworks show is Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. For those of you who can’t wait to check it out, it looks like you will get your chance! #DisneyParksLIVE is hosting a live stream of the debut performance!
If you want to check out the live stream, you will just need to head over to Disney Parks Blog tomorrow at 9:55 PM. There will be a link to enter the live stream and watch the very first performance of this amazing new show.
Per Disney Parks Blog, “In the new show, Minnie invites you to take in a sparkling, yuletide fireworks display as the sky above Cinderella Castle brightens to the tunes of Deck the Halls and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. The fireworks show is exclusive to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, which guests can attend on select nights November 8 through December 22, 2019.”
Get ready to escape into the mainframe with TRON Lightcycle Run at the Magic Kingdom! Yesterday, the first few pieces of track got installed, and overnight, it seems more pieces were also added. Let’s see what the software engineers have made progress on so far.
You can see how the launch portion (down by the lower right-hand side of the photo) then leads right into a curve that takes guests up and around the illuminated outer canopy portion of the ride. This section comes straight out from the show building, up overhead past guests entering and leaving the ride, and into the main show building.
For a look into what the completed attraction will look like, check out this video of its sister attraction, the TRON Lightcycle Power Run roller coaster:
“Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks” is a new nighttime spectacular that will debut November 8, 2019, as part of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom Park. The holiday extravaganza invites guests to experience the magic of Christmas by painting the sky with fireworks and transforming Cinderella Castle into colorful holiday scenes. The show replaces Holiday Wishes, which ran at the holiday season for several years.
Disney has released some new preview images of the fireworks show today:
