food IS a theme park
Tonight is a bittersweet night for fans of Happily Ever After. While fans look forward to the new fireworks spectacular Disney Enchantment, premiering this week for the 50th Anniversary Celebration, that means that we have to bid a fond farewell to Happily Ever After, the resident fireworks show in Magic Kingdom.
Happily Ever After
If you were thinking of heading to Magic Kingdom to watch the final performance and you aren’t already in the park, you may want to make your way over there NOW.
Disney World is preparing to debut TWO brand-new fireworks spectaculars next week: Disney Enchantment in Magic Kingdom and Harmonious in EPCOT.

Both of these shows will premiere on the first day of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, which officially begins on Friday, October 1st. As Disney puts the final touches on these shows, those around the resort area may hear (or even see!) some fireworks testing taking place.
Disney World’s 50th anniversary is almost here!!
SO many things are happening for the celebration, like a new ride opening, a new cavalcade, and a new fireworks show — Disney Enchantment. The show will take place at Magic Kingdom and replace Happily Ever After during the 18-month celebration. Along with the show, Disney is also hosting several dessert parties you can attend, and reservations are now open for the parties!
It’s almost Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
Happily Ever After Fireworks
The 18-month long celebration kicks off on October 1st with new entertainment, experiences, and MORE! One of the most anticipated things coming to Disney World is the new nighttime spectacular, Disney Enchantment. That means that Happily Ever After (the current fireworks show at Magic Kingdom) is going away soon, and guests trying to see the show tonight might have to wait a bit!
Are you ready for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary?

The MAJOR celebrations kick off on October 1st with new decorations, new looks for our favorite Disney pals, and of course, NEW FIREWORKS. Not only will Harmonious be debuting in EPCOT, but Magic Kingdom will get the brand new Disney Enchantment nighttime spectacular!

When the parks reopened back in July of 2020, the fireworks shows did not return in order to avoid crowds from forming. We missed ending our day in Magic Kingdom with Happily Ever After, but now, it’s BACK!! Tonight was the first time we’ve seen the nighttime spectacular in over a YEAR and it did NOT disappoint! Take a look!
We’ve got BIG news for those traveling to Disney World later this year!
Cinderella Castle
As you’ve probably heard, Disney World will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year. On October 1st, 2021 the 18 MONTH-long festivities will begin for “The World’s Most Magical Celebration“. The celebration includes special transformations coming to the parks’ icons, new outfits for Mickey & Minnie, and a whole lot more. And now, we’ve got MORE BIG NEWS about the Anniversary!!!
We haven’t seen an official fireworks show in Walt Disney World in over a YEAR!
Fireworks Testing
There were a few flares around the holidays, as well as some random fireworks testing, but not a full show! Recently we learned that fireworks will be returning to Walt Disney World on July 1st, and now we have official times for the shows! Take a look.
Things definitely feel a bit different in Magic Kingdom without the iconic nightly fireworks!
Cinderella Castle
This holiday season, Cinderella Castle is being illuminated by projections, which rotate between several different festive patterns. And while the nightly fireworks shows have not yet resumed, we did get a small taste of fireworks in the park tonight!
