food IS a theme park
August is right around the corner, and Disney World is changing rapidly.
Happy 50th!
There are a number of things that will be different in Disney World in August, so let’s go over everything you need to know if you have an August trip planned!
July was a BIG month for Disney World fireworks.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT Forever at EPCOT both returned on July 1st! Although both of these shows are closing in September, we have some new nighttime shows to look forward to for the 50th anniversary celebrations. Fireworks have been missing from Disney’s Hollywood Studios since it reopened last year, but now they are BACK!
Can you believe that tomorrow is the first day of AUGUST?! This year has been much quicker than last year!
This year is more than halfway over!
Over the past 7 months, we’ve seen a lot of huge changes and massive news bombs come out of Disney World, and the wild ride is just beginning! Not everything has fully reopened yet and some things are even taking a step backward in terms of health and safety protocols, so if you’re traveling soon, here are 11 things you need to know about Disney World in August.
While the departure of Happily Ever After has been a surprising piece of news recently, we cannot wait for the arrival of Disney Enchantment in Magic Kingdom and Harmonious in EPCOT.

We have known that these firework spectaculars are debuting on October 1st for some time now, but the showtimes for both nighttime specataculars has remained mysterious…until today! [Read more…]
We’ve been anticipating the debut of EPCOT’s new firework show Harmonious since it was announced in 2018!
Harmonious BARGES!
And we won’t have to wait much longer! The show is set to premiere on October 1st, Disney World’s 50th anniversary. It’s one part of EPCOT’s historical transformation and is one of the largest spectaculars ever created for a Disney park! We’ve seen the barges and equipment in the World Showcase Lagoon over the past few months, but now we finally have a FIRST LOOK at the show!
Disney World is still phasing out a lot of their previous health and safety guidelines, and we’re seeing more and more attractions and pre-shows return.
