When I saw this on the HongKong Disneyland website that the finale is going to happen on January 1, 2018, I felt sad. Officially, it is called Disney in Stars but the HongKong Disneyland fireworks needs no introduction.  The fireworks are a regular feature at the park from 2000 hours everyday.

I did not have an idea about the scale of the fireworks or what a grand spectacle it would be till I saw hoards of people taking places almost an hour before the show to get a better view. Thats HongKong Disneyland Fireworks for you.

What is Disney in the Stars – HongKong Disneyland Fireworks 

This show started in September 2015. Across all the DisneyTheme parks in the world, they have Fantasy in sky and the Hongkong Disneyland Fire works is called Disney in Stars. It’s a spectacle which only need to be experienced with wide eyes and open jaws. When you are in Disneyland, the Sleeping beauty castle is a showstopper and a centerpiece of attraction. So it is apt that this colourful pretty castle becomes the background for this show. Movie clippings projected on the castle wall and then the fireworks in the sky synchronized with the songs is nothing short of mesmerizing. Now what are the movie clippings we are talking about? Which songs? It is a collection of the best of the Disney Songs. You name it, they have it and who else would have it other than Disneyland themselves. Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Cinderella, Nemo and Dory from Finding Nemo and Finding Dory, Lightning Mcqueen from Cars; it is almost a treasure hunt for Disney Cartoon lovers. The Song – ‘A whole new world’, which I guess has been a chart topper for many a week in Radio Stations and TV Channels during my time, comes back time and again to haunt you. Remember that scene from this Song where Aladdin flies on the magic carpet with princess Jasmine? Imagine that song playing while the video projected on the sleeping beauty castle and all of a sudden, fire works start going up the air in a synchronized way. A huge population humming the song with their eyes up in the sky. Can there be anything more magical? Heard that song – ‘A dream is a wish your heart makes’ from Cinderella, ‘When you wish upon a star’ from Pinocchio and many more. The exit song is again ‘a whole new world’ from Aladdin. What cliche shall I use here? Every good thing in life comes to an end or there is no real ending but it is just the place where you stop the story.

 Do they need entry fee for HongKong Disneyland Fireworks 

There is no separate fee for the fireworks and it is free. The show takes place every night from 2000 hours and lasts for about 30 mins. As said earlier, the place gets crowded so take your seats before and once it ends, there will be a huge rush to go out.

 

I will end with this as I guess, every night it’s like a dream come true for many and many dreams are revisited. Lets dream for something bigger, better and brighter from 2nd January, 2018 onwards. 

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
