UPDATED October 5, 2026

Disney World is known for its stellar entertainment, but one park is just a bit more magical than the rest.

We’re talking about Magic Kingdom, of course! From parades and cavalcades to stage shows and nighttime spectaculars, chances are there’s something to keep just about anyone entertained in the OG Disney World park. We don’t want you to miss a thing — so we’ve rounded up a FULL list of showtimes for parades, fireworks, castle shows, and more in Magic Kingdom.

You’ll find PLENTY of entertainment nearly everywhere you look in Magic Kingdom. From live music to parades, cavalcades, stage shows, and nighttime spectaculars — there’s always something new and interesting to see if you know where to find it! We’ve rounded up the showtimes for Magic Kingdom parades, fireworks, castle shows, and more.

But, before we start — keep in mind that these showtimes are subject to change. Disney might update these for several reasons — maybe the park is closing early one night or they’re getting ready for a special event.

The below show times are generally accurate, but make sure you check the My Disney Experience app on the date of your visit for the most up-to-date information.

We also make sure to let you know when Disney makes a showtime change, but if a parade or show is canceled due to weather or something last minute, the My Disney Experience app is going to have that updated information first! Now, onto the main events!

Happily Ever After

The Happily Ever After fireworks spectacular is currently showing at 9PM nightly*. 

Evening showtimes will change to 8PM starting November 1st*.

Please keep in mind that Magic Kingdom closes early on select nights in August, September, and October to host an extra-ticket event, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. On those evenings, Happily Ever After will not be shown, and Party guests will enjoy the exclusive Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular!

Please keep in mind that Magic Kingdom closes early on select nights in November and December to host an extra-ticket event, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. On those evenings, Happily Ever After will not be shown, and Party guests will enjoy Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks!

You can catch it every afternoon at 2PM. 

Disney Starlight — Dream the Night Away

A new nighttime parade arrived in Magic Kingdom in 2025: Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away!

Disney Starlight is presented once or twice per evening. 

Please keep in mind that Magic Kingdom closes early on select nights in August, September, and October to host an extra-ticket event, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. On those evenings, Disney Starlight will not be shown, and Party guests will enjoy the exclusive Boo-to-You Parade!
