Planning a Disney World trip can be complicated — we certainly know that firsthand. You’ve got to worry about when to visit, what sort of tickets to buy, which hotel to stay at, where to make dining reservations, and a whole lot more.
Happily Ever After
Things can get even more complicated when you realize that Disney is known for changing park hours and showtimes around, and you don’t want to be left out of the loop. The Disney World calendar is always changing, but we’re constantly checking it to make sure we have the most up-to-date info — and that’s why we need to let you know about this upcoming Magic Kingdom fireworks change!
Heads up, Disney fans! Your Magic Kingdom game plan will need to change starting in November. Happily Ever After, Magic Kingdom’s current fireworks show, will start at 8 PM each night beginning on November 1st. For now, that change will continue as far as the Disney calendar currently goes, but we’ll keep an eye on it and let you know of any further changes.
Happily Ever After
Happily Ever After is the nighttime fireworks show in Magic Kingdom, complete with lights, lasers, and projection effects. It takes place most evenings (though it may not run if the park is scheduled to close early for a special event that day), and the showtime typically varies throughout the year depending on daylight hours and park operating hours.
Happily Ever After Projections
As of Monday, August 31st, the start time for the Happily Ever After fireworks is 9:30 PM. Disney often updates the start time for these fireworks based on park hours and as the time changes throughout the year. Since Daylight Saving Time is scheduled to end on November 1st, it makes sense that Disney would make this change on the same day.
