Less than a week after fireworks lit up the sky at Disney World again, Epcot Forever fireworks have been canceled tonight. Will Happily Ever After endure the same fate?
Fireworks Return
It has been almost one week since the return of fireworks at Magic Kingdom and Epcot. It is special timing as our country celebrated Independence Day this past weekend!
Check out best viewing spots for Happily Ever After inside and outside Magic Kingdom.
Tropical Storm Elsa
Unfortunately, Tropical Storm/Hurricane Elsa has loomed over the area for the past few days. Disney has been preparing by adding hurricane meals at various resort restaurants.
There is also a flood watch and a tornado watch in effect for the area. If you are in the area, please be safe! Disney does a terrific job preparing for storms.
It would be helpful for you to have extra food and battery-operated flashlights and phone chargers in your room. Maybe grab some card games or other activities to keep you occupied in your room during any periods of time that you may be asked to remain in your room.
Canceled Fireworks
Due to the severe weather that is in the area, Disney has taken the precautionary measure of canceling Epcot Forever tonight, July 6.
At time of publication, Happily Ever After is still set to happen at 9:15 pm. Check out the screenshot below from the Disney calendar.
As a reminder, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom do not have any nighttime shows so there are no canceled fireworks at those two parks.
So far, we do not know of any other measures Disney World has taken. The parks are all still open at the time of writing this. Please Elsa, don’t let the storm rage on. Be safe, everyone!

I think it’s a great excuse for Disney to save money and blame it on somebody else. Once again they take away everything but the price of admission. We are cutting back on our visit there as a result of they’re limiting policies are no longer make any sense.

I understand that no one can co trol the weather, but Disney World is very expensive and families have been planning and saving for this maybe once in a lifetime experience. I hope the executives will make up to their guest in someway for this. They already canceled their dining plans. SAD..VERY SAD

St. Basil's is in Moscow but yes, the paint scheme ( or colored lights) are reminiscent of St. Basil's.
