Remember... Dreams Come True is a fireworks display commemorating Disneyland's 50th anniversary. Described as an "E ticket in the sky," the show features fireworks, lower level pyrotechnics, isopar flame effects, projections and lasers set to the soundtracks of some of Disneyland's most famous rides and shows. It was created as an homage to Disneyland, its lands and attractions, and its continuing legacy.
The show was produced by Walt Disney Creative Entertainment, under direction of Creative Director Steven Davison and renowned fireworks designer Eric Tucker.
The show officially returned on January 20, 2007, after being on hiatus for the 2006 holiday season, during which Believe... in holiday magic was the nightly fireworks show.

The song Wishes performed by various artists from the special CD with proceeds going to the Make A Wish Foundation began to play after the fireworks as well.
