Conclusion
The conclusion is also provided by Julie Andrews. She tells the audience that Disneyland has grown to become the "Happiest Place on Earth". The song "wishes" plays and Tinker Bell comes back for a return flight. The show ends in a cavalcade of fireworks then Julie Andrews says "Remember...Dreams Come True!". After the show the song "Remember When" performed by LeAnn Rimes is played throughout the park. This song was the official song of the Happiest Homecoming on Earth, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Disneyland and Disney Parks worldwide. For Christmas in 2005, however, while Disneyland opted to continue with Remember... Dreams Come True for the 50th anniversary, the snowfall finale still returned and the song "White Christmas"; both from Believe... In Holiday Magic; would be played instead of "Remember When" by LeAnn Rimes with Julie Andrews commenting that the most special time for believing in dreams is during the holidays with family and friends. As for 2017 version, the scene where Walt holding hands and walking with Mickey Mouse (forming the Partners statue), which are from World of Color Celebrate and Disneyland Forever was shown.

Soundtrack
The entire soundtrack to the show can be found on A Musical History of Disneyland and on The Official Album of the Disneyland Resort. The soundtrack reappeared on the Official Album for the Year of a Million Dreams with new narration to coincide with the end of the 50th Anniversary. The score was arranged by Greg Smith.

This fireworks show was also used during the 2006 and 2007 Grad Nite programs - the show itself remained almost unchanged except for the soundtrack being replaced with one consisting primarily of contemporary music (different each year) and projection to match it. The show is renamed to Grad Nite Explosion for these events and runs for approximately 10 minutes at 1:00am and 3:00am. Video screens along with additional lighting effects are also added on either side of the hub (already in place as part of Club KIIS).

Difference of the versions
There are actually four (or five) distinct versions of the show: the original version that presented from May 2005-September 2006, the second version presented from October 2006-2009, the third version presented from 2009-2014, and fourth version (including alternate version) beginning in 2017. While the soundtrack is almost unchanged for these versions, there are many difference:
 * The original version contains Julie Andrews narration with references from Disneyland's 50th Anniversary, such as Fifty years ago and Fifty years later.
 * Although Remember When and Wishes! are exit musics of this show, in the past, this portion can be altered due to special occasions:
 * Prior to introduction of Disney's Celebrate America in 2008, there was special Independence day tag fireworks finale in every July 4th, namely A Salute to America's Golden Dreams, replacing two exit musics in regular version. This theme song was borrowed from Epcot's The American Adventure and Disneyland's Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln attractions. This special show using combination of former Believe and current Remember... pyro equipment. This Independence day tag also appeared during Disneyland Forever engagement with Celebrate America! finale.
 * For the 2005 holiday season, "Remember When" and "Wishes!" was replaced with the "White Christmas" segment of Believe... In Holiday Magic, complete with magical snowfall. This version of the "White Christmas" segment contained a short introduction by Julie Andrews.
 * In acknowledgment that Disneyland is now more than 50 years old, current showings (from October 2006) feature the following changes to the Julie Andrews narration:
 * "Fifty years ago" has been replaced with "In 1955"
 * "Fifty years later" has been dubbed over with the word "Today"
 * In 2009 version, the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad segment was removed and pyro effect was changed into more smoother and thinner.
 * In 2017 version, following conclusion of Disneyland 60th Anniversary celebration, the show was returned with a massive upgrade, the show now utilizing projection mapping technology, laser mapping, and new lasers developed for Disneyland Forever. They also incorporate much of the new other equipments that installed for Disneyland Forever, including more than 100 searchlights that appeared around the park (in either side of Sleeping Beauty Castle and Main Street USA), new projection effect from Matterhorn Bobsleds, and new water screen in Rivers of America. The rest of the show remains unchanged as the show from 2009 version.
 * Beginning in 2017 version, there is a Alternate version for this show (if fireworks cancelled due to winds or inclement weather). In its place they ran about half the show without the fireworks, so only soundtrack, projections, water screen (in Rivers of America only) and searchlights are shown. This alternate show featured the opening and closing sections from Wishes fireworks theme song in Magic Kingdom. The E-Ticket in the Sky section was skipped. This alternate show was shown in 6 minutes (13 minutes if including exit musics), longer than Disneyland Forever alternate version which was shown in just 3 minutes (9 minutes if including exit musics).

Tokyo Disneyland version
Based on similarly-themed Remember... Dreams Come True fireworks at Disneyland, in this brand new nighttime spectacular, a magical spell is cast on Cinderella Castle and Guests are transported around the Kingdom of Dreams and Magic through dynamic visuals and memorable music. In addition to the images projected onto the castle, this grand spectacle features colorful fountains, vivid pyrotechnics, dramatic fire effects and lighting that illuminates the trees in the Plaza and fills the night sky. Cinderella Castle and the entire Plaza area are the stage for this dazzling nighttime entertainment.

''Celebrate! Tokyo Disneyland'', which described as Tokyo Disneyland's E-Tickets in the Sky, begins when Mickey Mouse makes his appearance as the orchestra conductor and opens the music score. When he waves his baton, Mickey finds that the music takes him and the audience on a magical journey around Tokyo Disneyland. Guests witness the marauding pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean, the runaway mine trains of Big Thunder Mountain, the Disney Princesses waltzing in Fantasyland, space voyages in Tomorrowland and other scenes from the different themed lands in the Park as Mickey’s journey continues. In the finale, the Disney Friends are shown with a mosaic of the 35th anniversary logo projected on the castle while pyrotechnics and lighting effects bring the magical, musical journey to a spectacular end.
