We’re starting to see things return to pre-closure normal at Disney World, and well, some of those things are making us pretty emotional!
Happily Ever After (February 2020)
First, ride pre-shows have returned (we might have shed a tear seeing the Haunted Mansion stretching room come to life again), interactive queue elements are now available to guests waiting in line for some rides, and fireworks will once more light up the skies above Disney World on July 1st!
To prepare for the first Happily Ever After fireworks spectacular to happen in over a year, Disney World tested fireworks at Magic Kingdom last night, and we are not going to lie — it was an emotional sight. So many happy tears.
BAWLING!
And in case you missed it, we got video of some of the show!

But it got better because we saw a certain fairy flying away from the castle! IT’S TINKER BELL! We love the crowd’s reaction when they saw her!
It’s….TINK! 🧚 pic.twitter.com/ZN2qIab8or

In case you’re in the area and missed this testing, there will be another fireworks test on Tuesday night, and then the show comes back full force on Thursday. And we will be there taking photos and videos to share with you!

We really want to book a fireworks cruise in August. Have you heard any news about specialty cruises coming back?
Thank you for the video. You made my night!
Fantastic news!!!
Thank you AJ. I did cry. But they were tears of joy. It was so wonderful to see the fireworks again after the year that we have had of such uncertainty. It gives you hope and a sense of joy. Thank you for sharing that with us. We’re planning to be in Disney World this August 2021. One of the joys that I’m looking forward to seeing the fireworks in person. I cried tonight, and I know I’ll cry then. And they will be happy tears. Thanks again.
OMG!!!! I’m crying so much! Can’t wait. Thank you for this preview! More, more more!
Andie, no news from Disney at this point.
