"Wishes" Exploding with vivid color, sound and gut wrenching emotion, "Wishes" is the largest fireworks display ever presented at Walt Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom.

The night time spectacular is narrated by the voice of Jiminy Cricket and the Blue Fairy. Guests of Walt Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom are told a thrilling "story in the sky" featuring hundreds of brilliant pyrotechnic effects exploding above and around Cinderella Castle.

The show begins with the Blue Fairy's narration: "When stars are born, they possess a gift or two. One of them is this: they have the power to make a wish come true." This transitions into the theme song of the show, which is the poem "Starlight, Starbright" set to music. Jiminy Cricket begins his narration about how he didn't used to believe in wishes, but is about to share the things that changed his mind. The show continues with a medley of famous Disney music overlaid with Disney characters making wishes. Snow White, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Aladdin, Peter Pan and Ariel are featured, among others. Several primarily instrumental sections follow, representing wishes for adventure, wishes for love and 'magical' wishes. Wishes then takes a turn for the slightly-sinister when the Disney villains, led by the Evil Queen from Snow White, take over the show. However, in the end, Good triumphs over Evil, and the Blue Fairy returns to host the finale, stating that "we must always believe in our wishes, for they are the magic in the world." The show ends with a mix of the Wishes theme and "When You Wish Upon a Star" from Pinocchio.
