A LOT changed at Disney World when it reopened with new health and safety protocols in place.
Holiday Projections (and brief surprise fireworks!) at Cinderella Castle
This meant that a lot of entertainment, including parades and nighttime entertainment — like fireworks — is still not happening at the parks. Although we have seen some fireworks testing, Disney has not announced when they will return.
That being said, a new job listing could suggest that fireworks might return soon to Disney World. The job listing is for a “Principal Fireworks Designer,” who would be in charge of the Disney Live Entertainment Fireworks & Special Effects Design department.
Fireworks Testing
The job listing also specifically mentions Disney World, with one responsibility listed as: “Direct on-going ‘Entertainment Show Quality’ evaluations of existing offerings at Walt Disney World and provide support to maintain their original show intent.”
Happily Ever After
Other responsibilities include: “Participate in project’s creative development including blue sky brainstorming, project kick-offs, internal reviews and other project specific check-ins; Develop and/or execute special effects designs for live shows and facility infrastructure when required; and Direct the Special Effects Designers’ plan and execution for new shows and remounts.”
