One Man’s Wish
When the sun sets at most Disney parks guests can be sure to expect a spectacular display to close out their day. Legacy Park is no different and will be host to One Man’s Wish; a nighttime spectacular dedicated to Walt Disney is his dream for his parks; the be a place of joy, wonder, and togetherness for people of all ages. When the skies above Legacy Park begin to darken you will be treated to a breathtaking symphony of sound, pyro, water, and lasers over all four areas of the park for a truly immersive experience. Because of lower light levels during the show, please watch your step and take small children by the hand. Get ready because One Man’s WIsh is about to begin…
The show is broken up into five main parts each centered around the kind of vision Walt had when designing Disneyland and future projects. Each segment will be introduced by a Walt quote covering that theme and will pull from beloved music from Disney nighttime shows and attractions past. The score for each section will have a main piece of music that will be interwoven with songs and soundbites from relevant shows and attractions to fit the melody.
Dreams
Main Song: Wishes Opening
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”
Joy
Main Song: Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da
“Happiness is a state of mind. It’s just according to the way you look at things.”
Wonder
Main Song: Epcot’s Entrance Melody
"It's kind of fun to do the impossible."
Togetherness
Main Song: We are One - Illuminations
“And sitting there alone, I felt there should be something built, some kind of family park where parents and children could have fun together.”
Imagination
Main Song: Celebration from Illuminations
“That’s what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.”
Unlike most nighttime shows One Man’s Wish is meant to be enjoyed from every section of the park with the fireworks and effects providing a full 360 degree experience so there is never a bad seat in the house. The main attractions in each land throughout the park will also have their exterior lighting synced with the score encouraging guests to view the show in a different location each time. No matter what One Man’s Wish is the perfect way to close out a day at Disney’s Legacy Park.
