my favorite show

“You see, it’s just like I told ya!
Wishes can come true, if you believe in them with all your heart. And the best part is, you'll never run out of wishes! They're shining deep down inside of you. 'Cause that, my friends, is where the magic lives.”
–Jiminy Cricket


Wishes, the fireworks show that happens (almost) nightly at the Magic Kingdom, is my favorite show. It has been since I first saw it... and I love working nights when I can hear the soundtrack in the restaurant. One of my absolute favorite things to do here is to be out in the middle of the park to see Wishes (it's a lot easier when you're just one or two adults and can duck in at the last minute). Not only do I love the show, but I love being there with all of our Guests as they see Tinkerbell fly, and hear Jiminy talk to everybody about having dreams and wishing that they will come true.

Yep, there are tears in my eyes every time... it reminds me why I'm here, and why I'm working so hard to be here. Here are the song lyrics... but I truly hope that all of you can come stand with me in front of Cinderella's castle one night, and be swept up in the magic of it all with me.


"Wishes"

Music composed by Gregory Smith

Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish, I wish tonight.

Ohh, a world of wishes,
A world where dreams come true.
So make a wish, see it through.
Dare to do what dreamers do.

Wishes... dream a dream.
Wishes... set it free.
Wishes… trust your heart.
Just believe!

We’re all just children,
Reaching for our dreams.
They’re shining high above us,
And even though it seems so far (so far)
We put our faith and hope on a shooting star.

Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish, I wish tonight.
We’ll make a wish and do as dreamers do.

And all our wishes,
Will come
True…
