If watching the fireworks in Magic Kingdom is a must-do for you, there is an important CHANGE you need to know about.
Disney Enchantment
Disney Enchantment is Magic Kingdom’s regularly scheduled fireworks show (it’s not offered on nights when Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party takes place, as a special Halloween-themed show is offered those nights). Previously, Enchantment was offered at 9:20PM. That then changed to 9PM. And now fireworks times are changing AGAIN.
If you look at the Magic Kingdom park times on the Disney World calendar for the week of August 19th, you’ll see the 9PM Enchantment time listed on days when it is offered.

That continues through to October 15th. Starting October 17th, however, you’ll notice a change. On that date, fireworks times CHANGE to 8:15PM.
That’s a pretty significant difference and a big jump to keep in mind. Daylight Savings doesn’t officially end until November 6th in 2022, but it appears likely that these changes are being made in advance of the time change.

It appears that this 8:15PM time continues past that 17th date and further into October. Disney World hours have only been released through part of October, so the calendar wouldn’t let us see beyond that, but we expect these times could continue further into the year.

Of course, things are subject to change again. Be sure to check the My Disney Experience app for updates before and throughout your trip.

They change it based on when it gets dark, not the time change. They literally do this every year.
Fireworks will now only be shown when you’re not watching.
For some guests this will not represent a change.
Best approach: Pretend you’re not watching. Once they start you can watch with no problem.
We will be in Magic Kingdom on Wednesday November 9 when the park will be open until 10pm. Could you please tell me what time the fireworks are so that we can make dinner reservations for a time that we won’t miss them
Also is there an Electric light parade or was that discontinued.
Hi Maryann. Starting October 17th, fireworks will be at 8:15pm. The Main Street Electrical Parade was in Disneyland this year, but has not returned to Walt Disney World.
On your screenshots above I can see the detail of the fireworks etc, however on my own Disney Experience login, those areas for Fireworks and Parades are blank for every day. Is it because I am accessing via the UK? Finalising plans etc, but would like to know what times evening events are from 18th Oct to 1st Nov.
