Fireworks over Cinderella Castle are an iconic part of a Disney World vacation.
Happily Ever After fireworks in Magic Kingdom
For many people, a Magic Kingdom day just isn’t complete without staying for the nightly fireworks. And the fireworks shows are getting more and more elaborate — going from basic fireworks in the “Fantasy in the Sky” show that ran at Magic Kingdom from its opening day in 1971 to 2003, to the first show with a storyline and music designed to elicit emotion (“Wishes”), to the addition of castle projections and today, projections on the castle and all the way down Main Street, U.S.A., as well as spotlights and other effects in “Happily Ever After.”
But what if the fireworks that have been a part of almost every evening for more than five decades went away? Nearly 1,000 people responded to our question about this on Facebook, so let’s take a look at what YOU said!

Ever since The Walt Disney Company’s earnings call that announced Moana 2 was not only in production but would be dropping in November of the same year our Moana-loving hearts just about exploded!
