'''''Believe... There's Magic In The Stars''''' was a nighttime fireworks show at the [[Disneyland]] Resort in [[Anaheim]], [[California]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Strodder |first1=Chris |title=The Disneyland Encyclopedia |date=2017 |publisher=Santa Monica Press |isbn=978-1595800909 |edition=3rd |pages=193–194}}</ref> The show was introduced in early 2000 for the Resort's 45th Anniversary, replacing the long running ''[[Fantasy in the Sky]]'' fireworks display.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Moseley |first1=Doobie |title=An Interview With Steven Davison |url=https://www.laughingplace.com/w/leg/?legacyasppage=News-ID502780.asp |website=The Laughing Place |accessdate=8 July 2020 |date=June 12, 2001}}</ref> At the time, the show was the most complex and lavish ever to be produced by the Disneyland Entertainment team.

On June 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.

== Show summary ==
The show, like many other Disneyland fireworks shows, utilizes musical themes from various [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] films to illustrate the message and plot of the show, which is to believe in magic. In the preshow announcement, a child's voice is heard marveling over Disneyland, and the pictures and dreams he can make from the stars above. He then says, "Maybe if I really believe, all my dreams will come true".  

The show is broken up into various segments, based on the themes of the films and Disneyland, each of which are introduced with musical theme of the show, "Believe...There's Magic In The Stars", composed by Gregory Smith; most of the song is sung by [[Sandi Patty]]. 

===Opening===
The show begins with a woman's voice gently whispering the word "believe", the show's main theme. The child 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:
