A Bolt Out of the Blue
The seas swirl as colorful story barges begin to circle the harbor, each revealing a Disney Character ascending on a sparkling tower.

The Wish of Romance
As the orchestra builds with the songs from each film, a majestic tableau forms as romance fills the air in a climactic, heartwarming burst of elegant illumination.
