50th Anniversary

In February 2021, the Walt Disney Company announced the 50th Anniversary celebrations for Walt Disney World. Each month excitement grew
Disney released more entertainment, decorations, and merchandise information.

Walt Disney World announced two new nighttime shows. In Magic Kingdom, the beloved nighttime show “Happily Ever After” would be replaced with “Enchantment”. Also, in Epcot Guests enjoy “Harmonious”.

Fireworks Schedule

Both “Harmonious” and “Enchantment” are listed on Character Locator. Be sure to add both of these new shows to your touring plans for your next Walt Disney World vacation.

Check out Character Locator for fireworks show times.

Previous Testing

Before fireworks returned nightly, Disney World tested fireworks on and off for several months. However, this testing was due to the show not being released yet for the 50th Anniversary. Since then, guests delight in “Enchantment” and “Harmonious.”

Testing Details

Testing includes burst fireworks both on the castle and other rooftops inside the park. Although it shouldn’t last long, guests staying nearby will hear them. If you’re lucky enough to stay at a Bay Lake Disney Resort, you may even catch a glimpse of them.

New Testing Date

Now, Disney tests fireworks at Disney’s Magic Kingdom beginning at 12:45am on January 20. This testing takes place to prepare for the Disney World Cast Celebration. However, this event is limited to Cast Members working for ten or more years. It’s wonderful that they honor these Cast Members who have been making magic for so long.
