Disney have put up a few new press videos in the past couple of days promoting Summer Nightastic which I wanted to share with everyone:

A magical moment happens on Main Street, U.S.A. when a young man proposes to his girlfriend on a Summer evening at Disneyland.

Make a 3D dragon roar to life, summon Tinker Bell, and launch fireworks — right on your screen! Its all part of the incredible lineup of entertainment during Summer Nightastic at the Disneyland Resort, June 12 August 23. Find out more at Disneyland.com/fantasmic3D.

This summer experience the night in a whole new light, at Disneyland Resort’s Summer Nightastic event. Watch in awe as Fantasmic! ignites the night with awesome new, lifelike creatures—like a 40 ft.-tall, fire-breathing dragon—and amazing HD animation that practically leaps off the giant mist screens! Get your glow-on all summer, from June 12th through August 23rd!

Our newest staff member here at Disneyland News Today, Conner Purzycki, was at this past Wednesday’s preview performance of Disneyland’s new fireworks show “Magical”. Thanks to our fantastic new WDWNTube Disney Parks Video Site, he brings us a full high definition video of the show:

A Magical Preview

According to the OC Register’s Around Disney blog:

Guests at Disneyland on Thursday night will likely get a sneak peek at Disneyland’s new summer fireworks spectacular “Magical.”

The new fireworks show officially begins nightly on June 12, but Disney officials plan to test it out in a rehearsal around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday – depending upon weather and scheduling.

Disney characters Tinker Bell and Dumbo, the flying elephant, will take to the skies over Disneyland to lead the pyrotechnics, synchronize to popular Disney music that recalls “Pinocchio,” “Mary Poppins” and “Cinderella.”

It marks the first new summertime fireworks show at Disneyland since the park’s 50th anniversary in 2005. It’s also the first time Dumbo has appeared in a fireworks show, flying over Sleeping Beauty Castle.

After all the kinks are worked out and the show officially gets under way next week, it will run nightly through Sept. 7.

“We’re all looking forward to seeing what our entertainment team has come up with this time,” said John McClintock, a Disneyland spokesman.
