Enchanted
After a two week holiday we returned home with a nice tan and some beautiful new memories. While the first 10 days where a non Disney holiday (how is that even possible) at the Cote d’Azur, we ended up in Disneyland Resort Paris (of course). Although there where a lot of magical moments, one of them has totally stolen my heart.
The new Enchanted fireworks is awesome! Finally, after the (in my opinion) poor Wishes display, we got the fireworks this park deserves. The music is fitting, the fireworks are spectacular (and plentiful), the use of the projections on the castle look great (it didn’t work for me on the Wishes show) and the magic was definitely there. I applaud the creators of this amazing experience they are sharing with the guests, fans and Disney fanatics. Job well done!
Unfortunately there are some things that should be looked at by Disney. After watching Fantilusion (Oh, that wonderful, wonderful dragon), guests are pushed back away from the front of the castle up towards the side of the hub. While guest could still stand in front of the castle during Wishes, they now loose a big part of the viewing area with this new enforcement (I know, sounds a little harsh). Best place to be is in front of the stage (be early) or on the sides of the stage (but away from the trees). Although it was busy Cast Members where able to control and push back the people, but when the park will get the full summer crowds it might not be that easy to get the people back and away from the front. I wonder why so much extra room had to be scarified for the new show and I hope Disney will have another look if there is no other sollution to get those parts open again otherwise crowd control might become very hard during the next months.
Still, this is the only complaint I would have as the show is awesome and should not be missed by anybody visiting the parks during the summer. A big thank you to everybody involved making Enchanted, the best firework show I’ve seen in Disneyland Resort Paris so far…
