Happily Ever After quickly won the hearts and minds of Disney fans when it replaced the long-running Wishes. Fans where disheartened when Happily Every After was replaced by Disney: Enchantment during the 50th Anniversary Celebration, and were even less enthused after they saw the new show. Disney eventually added a scene featuring Walt and Roy to the beginning of the show, but this change still was not enough to win over fans.

The video below, taken by OneLittleSpark JL, shows the recent testing:

While Disney: Enchantment utilized amazing effects, it lacked the heart and soul of Happily Ever After. Fans complained, and Disney listened-announcing the upcoming return of Happily Ever After earlier this year. The announcement did included indications of updates to the show, however the updates are seemingly focused on incorporating the Main Street U.S.A. projectors that were installed for Disney: Enchantment. The testing provides solid indications that the main show will remain the same, much to delight of fans across the world who have been waiting for the its return since October 2021.
