Remember... Dreams Come True was a fireworks display at Disneyland commemorating the park's 50th anniversary in 2005. Described as an "E ticket in the sky", the show features fireworks, lower level pyrotechnics, isopar flame effects, state-of-art projection mapping, lasers, searchlights, and lighting set to the soundtracks of some of Disneyland's most famous rides and shows. It was created as an homage to Disneyland and Disney parks worldwide, its lands, its attractions, and its continuing legacy.
Tokyo Disneyland also features an almost identical fireworks and projection mapping show, named simply Celebrate! Tokyo Disneyland, as part of its 35th anniversary celebration. It features state-of-the-art projection technology, lasers, water cannons, and more for a performance on a grander scale than ever before experienced at the park. With Cinderella Castle as the stage, Mickey Mouse takes guests on a magical, musical journey around the park. This show was created as an homage to all Disney Parks around the world, including Tokyo Disneyland.
==History==
Disneyland version was produced by Walt Disney Creative Entertainment, under direction of VP Parades and Spectaculars Steve Davison and fireworks designer Eric Tucker.

Cinderella (Jennifer Hale), Snow White (Carolyn Gardner), Ariel (Jodi Benson), Peter Pan (Blayne Weaver), Pinocchio (Michael Welch), and Aladdin (Scott Weinger) all share their dreams and fondest wishes.

The original announcement from the Disneyland Railroad is heard, as is the whistle and bell of DLRR #1, C.K. Holliday. Then music from Main Street, U.S.A., such as the "Maple Leaf Rag" and "Baroque Hoedown", is heard as the "old world" segment shows the Main Street Station, complete with American Flag bunting projected onto Sleeping Beauty Castle while one of the trains seems to leave from it. Then, Old Glory is projected while the stars start to move on it. In the "new world" section, not much happens in the way of projections until the final fanfare explodes with multicolored stars emanating from the center of the castle.

====Conclusion====
The concluding narration is also provided by Julie Andrews. She tells the audience that Disneyland has grown to become the "Happiest Place on Earth". The song "Wishes" plays and Tinker Bell comes back for a return flight. The show ends in a cavalcade of fireworks then Julie Andrews says "Remember...Dreams Come True!". After the show the song "Remember When", performed by LeAnn Rimes, is played throughout the park. This song was the official song of the Happiest Homecoming on Earth, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Disneyland and Disney Parks worldwide. For Christmas in 2005, however, while Disneyland opted to continue with Remember... Dreams Come True for the 50th anniversary, the snowfall finale still returned and the song "White Christmas" (both from Believe... In Holiday Magic) would be played instead of "Remember When", with Julie Andrews commenting that the most special time for believing in dreams is during the holidays with family and friends.
As of 2017, the scene of Walt holding hands and walking with Mickey Mouse (forming the Partners statue), from World of Color: Celebrate! and Disneyland Forever, is shown.
====Soundtrack====
The entire soundtrack to the show can be found on A Musical History of Disneyland and on The Official Album of the Disneyland Resort. The soundtrack reappeared on the Official Album for the Year of a Million Dreams with new narration to coincide with the end of the 50th Anniversary. The score was arranged by Greg Smith.
This fireworks show was also used during the 2006 and 2007 Grad Nite programs - the show itself remained almost unchanged except for the soundtrack being replaced with one consisting primarily of contemporary music (different each year) and projection to match it. The show is renamed to Grad Nite Explosion for these events and runs for approximately 10 minutes at 1:00am and 3:00am. Video screens along with additional lighting effects are also added on either side of the hub (already in place as part of Club KIIS).
====Difference between the different versions====
There are actually four (or five) distinct versions of the show: the original version that presented from 2005-2006, the second version presented from 2006–2009, the third version presented from 2009-2014, and fourth version (including alternate version) beginning in 2017. While the soundtrack is almost unchanged for these versions, there are many difference:
*The original version contains Julie Andrews' narration with references to Disneyland's 50th Anniversary, such as Fifty years ago and Fifty years later.
*Although Remember When and Wishes! were both used as exit music, in the past, this portion was altered for special occasions:
**Prior to the introduction of Disney's Celebrate America in 2008, there was a special Independence day fireworks finale in every July 4, namely A Salute to America's Golden Dreams, replacing two closing themes in the regular version. This theme song was borrowed from Epcot's The American Adventure and Disneyland's Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln attractions. This special show used a combination of the former Believe and current Remember... pyro equipment. It also appeared during Disneyland Forever with the Celebrate America! finale.
**For the 2005 holiday season, "Remember When" and "Wishes!" were replaced with the "White Christmas" segment of Believe... In Holiday Magic, complete with magical snowfall. This version of the "White Christmas" segment contained a short introduction by Julie Andrews.
*In acknowledgment that Disneyland is now more than 50 years old, current showings (from October 2006) feature the following changes to the Julie Andrews narration:
**"Fifty years ago" has been replaced with "In 1955".
**"Fifty years later" has been dubbed over with the word "Today".
*In 2009, the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad segment was removed and the pyro effects were made smoother and thinner.
*In 2017, following the conclusion of Disneyland's 60th Anniversary celebration, the show returned with a massive upgrade, with the addition of projection mapping technology, laser mapping, and new lasers developed for Disneyland Forever. It also incorporates much of the other new equipment installed for Disneyland Forever, including more than 100 searchlights that appeared around the park (in either side of Sleeping Beauty Castle and Main Street USA), new projection effects from Matterhorn Bobsleds, and a new water screen in Rivers of America. The rest of the show remains unchanged from the 2009 version.
*As of 2017, there is an alternate version of this show (if fireworks are cancelled due to winds or inclement weather). This version omits the fireworks so only the soundtrack, projections, water screen (in Rivers of America only) and searchlights are shown. This alternate show featured the opening and closing sections from "Wishes". The E-Ticket in the Sky section was skipped. This alternate show was shown in 6 minutes (13 minutes if including exit music), longer than the alternate version of Disneyland Forever which was shown in just 3 minutes (9 minutes if including exit music).
===Tokyo Disneyland version===
Based on the similarly-themed Remember... Dreams Come True fireworks at Disneyland, in this brand new nighttime spectacular, a magical spell is cast on Cinderella Castle and Guests are transported around the Kingdom of Dreams and Magic through dynamic visuals and memorable music. In addition to the images projected onto the castle, this grand spectacle features colorful fountains, vivid pyrotechnics, dramatic fire effects and lighting that illuminates the trees in the Plaza and fills the night sky. Cinderella Castle and the entire Plaza area are the stage for this dazzling nighttime entertainment.
While recycling soundtrack elements from Remember... Dreams Come True, it also features its own original arrangements, as well as many elements from World of Color and World of Color: Celebrate!.
====Opening====
*Introduction: In a similar fashion to Mickey's PhilharMagic and the Mickey Mouse Revue, the orchestra tunes up with Goofy getting everybody ready before Mickey Mouse makes his appearance on the castle balcony to conduct the show.
*Let the Memories Begin: Taken from The Magic, the Memories and You, a montage of many of the park's attractions plays, including it's a small world, the Primeval World, Tom Sawyer Island, Splash Mountain, and Peter Pan's Flight among others. Eventually, the music carries Mickey away on his music book to journey through the different realms of the park.
====Adventureland====
*The Enchanted Tiki Room: Inspired by Aloha e Komo Mai!, Stitch appears throughout the performance of "The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room" before crashing the party and starting a storm.
*Jungle Cruise: Mickey pilots a Jungle Cruise boat through the rivers of Adventureland as the music builds into an instrumental version of "Circle of Life", with characters from The Lion King and The Jungle Book appearing on the castle.
*Pirates of the Caribbean: As Mickey rides a boat through the attraction, a montage of moments from the attraction plays set to the music of "He's a Pirate" before cannon blasts end the scene.
====Westernland====
*Mark Twain Riverboat: Mickey pilots the steamboat along the Rivers of America to the sound of an instrumental arrangement of "Just Around the Riverbend".
*Big Thunder Mountain Railroad: Reusing Remember's Frontierland audio segment, Mickey drives a runaway mine train accompanied by the Country Bears, with the sound of Little Oscar's horn ending the segment.
====Fantasyland====
*Carousel Princess Montage: As Mickey and Minnie ride the Castle Carousel, a reprise of Let the Memories Begin leads into a montage of many classic Disney films, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, and Cinderella.
*The Haunted Mansion: As we find ourselves in the Haunted Mansion's stretching room, Mickey dons a top hat and a mischievous grin as the various happy haunts appear on the castle, with Mickey playing the pipe organ. While the sequence follows a similar structure to Remember's version, much of the music is re-arranged.
====Critter Country and Toontown====
*Splash Mountain: As the Haunted Mansion sequence ends, Mickey finds himself on a log to take the plunge down into the Briar Patch.
*Toontown: After Mickey drops from Splash Mountain, he finds himself floating down into Toontown by balloons and drives the Jolly Trolley before being pulled into the Gag Factory, where he conducts firework launches with his baton, is pulled into a whirlwind, and finally drops onto a TNT lever. Reuses the music from Remember's Fantasyland/Critter Country/Toontown montage.
====Tomorrowland====
*Tomorrowland's Past: Mickey drifts into the spacey realm of Tomorrowland to the sounds of an area music re-arrangement of "Miracles From Molecules" while attraction posters for many Tomorrowland attractions past and present drift by, including the extinct Star Jets and Meet the World attractions. Eventually, Mickey sees the attraction poster for Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters and dives in.
*Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters: The battle between Buzz Lightyear and Zurg seen in the attraction plays out to the sounds of the Toy Story 2 prologue soundtrack. Recycled soundtrack from World of Color.
*Star Tours: Mickey climbs aboard Star Tours: The Adventures Continue and joins the Starspeeder's escape from Star Destroyers before jumping to the under-construction Death Star and escaping to a landing pad on Coruscant.
====Finale====
*Popcorn: A brief interlude has an exhausted Mickey cranking a popcorn machine and filling Cinderella Castle with popcorn.
*It's a Small World: As the popcorn fades, the facade of It's a Small World is revealed, with the clock opening on a "35" to commemorate the Anniversary.
*Finale: A finale reprise of "Let the Memories Begin" plays as Mickey rides the music book through all of the park's lands in a recap of the show, culminating in Mickey appearing on the castle balcony to say goodbye, followed by a final blast of fireworks.
