* Disney loves this trope ''soooooo'' much, that they finish [[Disney Theme Parks|EPCOTs]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Big Damn Pyrotechnics Show]] ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB36HWWsePY Illuminations: Reflections of Earth]'' with one of these.
** This trope extends into the other parks, at the Magic Kindgom its in the form of a duet reprise of the song Wishes played after the fireworks show of the same name, and at the Beauty and the Beast Show at Disneys Hollywood Studios guests exit the show while the Celine Dion version plays.
