Magical: Disney's New Nighttime Spectacular of Magical Celebrations
Magical: Disney's New Nighttime Spectacular of Magical Celebrations was a 2009-2014 summer fireworks show at Disneyland. The show features recorded music and dialogue, fireworks, lower level pyrotechnics, 10k spotlights, and gobo projections via Vari-Lite 3000 Spot fixtures housed in enclosures on Sleeping Beauty Castle and the Matterhorn. The show's main musical theme is an adapted rendition of the main theme from Tokyo Disneyland's "It's Magical" 10th Anniversary Castle Show and Epcot Center's Splashtacular. "Magical" was intended as a replacement for "Remember... Dreams Come True  and as a nighttime entertainment offering for Disneyland's Summer Nightastic promotion. The show was produced by Walt Disney Creative Entertainment. The show ran in the summers of 2009-2014, alternating with Halloween Screams" in the fall, "Believe... In Holiday Magic" in the winter, and "Remember... Dreams Come True" in the spring. The show begins with a fanfare of the "Magical" theme while new lighting effects on the castle shimmer and twinkle, and behind the castle 10k spotlights shine up into the night sky. Show summary. A comet is launched across the sky and Tinker Bell sweeps past the castle  as the chorus sings the show's main theme. The show transitions into a Neverland theme. Eden Espinosa sings a rendition of "The Second Star to the Right," from the Disney film "Peter Pan". As the song "When You Wish Upon a Star" (from Disney's 1940 film "Pinocchio") is played, Geppetto is heard making a wish on a star for Pinocchio to become a real boy. The Blue Fairy is heard saying, "Little puppet made of pine, wake. The gift of life is thine." We now hear the song "Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee" with an array of multicolored comets  shooting up from behind the castle. Excerpts from the songs "Give a Little Whistle" and "I've Got No Strings" are played. Eden then sings "Chim Chim Cher-ee" from the film "Mary Poppins" and the voice of Mary Poppins says, "See, children? Everything is practically perfect in every way, or my name isn't Mary Poppins!". "Jolly Holiday" plays, followed by "Step in Time", "Let's Go Fly a Kite", and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". Eden Espinosa sings "Baby Mine" from "Dumbo". Timothy Mouse is heard saying, "You can do it, Dumbo! You can fly! You don't need a magic feather !" An airborne puppet of Dumbo appears above Sleeping Beauty Castle, flapping his big ears and moving his legs. (Note: Dumbo does not fly every night.) Blue shells are shot in the background. The music softens and Dumbo makes his exit. "True Love's Kiss" from "Enchanted" plays, followed by a short excerpt of "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" from "Cinderella". Cinderella is heard saying, "I can't believe, not anymore. It's just no use." The Fairy Godmother says, "Come, come now, Cinderella. Dry those tears, and you shall go to the ball!" She says the magic  words, "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!" and a short passage from "So This Is Love" plays, followed by music from "Beauty and the Beast" and "Once Upon a Dream" from "Sleeping Beauty". The three good fairies of Sleeping Beauty are heard reminiscing over the enchantment of the dazzling show. Merryweather and Flora get themselves into a fight over a Pink or Blue finale, which becomes chaos for a short time. Fauna stops the fight and tells them, "It's all beautiful!" and explains that when we believe, any wish can come true. A Mickey Mouse-shaped firework then appears in the sky . The "Magical" theme music is heard once more, and "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" is reprised. "Gold Chrysanthemum" fireworks and stimulating bulbs (fireworks that explode and show flashes of light on the ends of the trails) are heavily used in the finale. Tinker Bell makes a return, and the show ends as confetti is launched from the rooftops of Main Street. Show facts. Occasionally shows are canceled due to high winds at high elevations or rain.
