Believe... There's Magic in the Stars

Believe... There's Magic In The Stars was a nighttime fireworks show at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. The show was introduced in late 1999 for the Resort's 45th Anniversary, replacing the aging Fantasy in the Sky fireworks display. At the time, the show was the most complex and lavish ever to be produced by the Disneyland Entertainment team. Many guests formed an emotional attachment to the show and regarded it as the best ever.

On November 1, 2004, Believe... was replaced by Imagine... A Fantasy in the Sky and subsequently on May 1, 2005 by Remember... Dreams Come True for Disneyland's 50th Anniversary celebration.

During Believe's entire run at Disneyland, a similarly named fireworks show, Believe... In Holiday Magic, ran during the holiday season, typically from early November to early January. While that show was having its seasonal run, Believe... There's Magic In The Stars would be on hiatus.

The song
The main musical theme of the show is the song "Believe...There's Magic In The Stars", composed by Don L. Harper; this theme is interwoven throughout the entire show. Most of the song is sung by Sandi Patty.

The show
The show, like any other Disneyland fireworks show, utilizes musical themes from various Disney movies. Those themes help to illustrate the message & the plot of the show, which is just to believe in magic. The show is broken up into various segments, based on the themes of the movies and Disneyland, each of which are introduced with the "Believe..." theme song.

Opening
The show begins with a woman's voice gently whispering the word "believe", the show's main theme. A child's voice is heard saying "I wish I never had to leave this magical place", otherwise known as Disneyland. He then wishes on a star for his wish, and the Believe musical theme begins.
