When you’re visiting Magic Kingdom, there’s just so much to see and do. Now, of course, you’ll want to ride ALL the rides, especially all those classic rides. But you’ll also want to make time for the entertainment, including the Festival of Fantasy parade and Disney Starlight.

Happily Ever After

But one of the most ICONIC shows you can see in Magic Kingdom happens just before the park closes. We’re talking about the nightly Happily Ever After fireworks show, which will make you laugh, cry, and feel nothing but joy (EVERY time, y’all). Well, if you’re visiting Disney World soon, we’ve got a big fireworks update to share with you.

Currently, the Happily Ever After fireworks can be seen on nights when there isn’t a Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at 10 P.M. However, with fall coming up quickly, that will change soon. The time will change to 9:30 P.M. on August 31st, but as of October 5th, Happily Ever After will happen at 9 P.M., an hour earlier. This change is usual this time of year as the days get shorter and the nights get longer. But it means you’ll get to see the fireworks an hour earlier!

Happily Ever After

Happily Ever After is probably one of the most popular fireworks shows in Disney World that isn’t JUST a fireworks show. It also incorporates music, projections on Cinderella Castle, and projections on Main Street, U.S.A. Many Magic Kingdom visitors will choose their fireworks viewing spots early and camp out until they start.

However, you can always get a great view of the fireworks by booking a Happily Ever After dessert party, which gets you a buffet of desserts and snacks plus drinks as well as a guaranteed view of the fireworks from Plaza Garden or Tomorrowland Terrace.
