An upcoming fireworks change could impact your future Magic Kingdom plans!
Magic Kingdom Fireworks
For many guests, a Magic Kingdom day isn’t complete without watching the Happily Ever After fireworks show to cap off the night. If that sounds like you, heads up that this upcoming change could shift your plans in the park!
Happily Ever After is the nighttime fireworks show in Magic Kingdom, complete with lights, lasers, and projection effects. It takes place most evenings (although it may not be performed if the park is scheduled to close early for a special event that day), and the showtime typically fluctuates throughout different times of the year depending on daylight hours and park operating hours.

Currently, the Happily Ever After fireworks are scheduled to start at 10:00 PM on the evenings when a show takes place. However, that’s about to change! Beginning on Monday, August 31st, the start time for the Happily Ever After fireworks is changing to 9:30 PM.
Happily Ever After
The 9:30 PM start time for Happily Ever After will continue through early October, when the start time will be pushed up again to 9:00 PM beginning October 5th.
