If you’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World in Florida, one of the most magical experiences you can have is watching the fireworks at Magic Kingdom. And the ultimate fireworks show at this iconic theme park is Happily Ever After.

Happily Ever After is a nighttime spectacular that premiered in May 2017, replacing the previous fireworks show, Wishes. This show is more than just a fireworks display, it’s a multi-media extravaganza that uses projection mapping, lasers, and special effects to bring Disney stories to life.

The show begins with an opening narration by Jiminy Cricket and then launches into a stunning display of fireworks choreographed to a medley of beloved Disney songs. You’ll hear music from classics like The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, as well as newer Disney hits like Moana and Frozen.

But what really sets Happily Ever After apart is the way it weaves together scenes from classic and modern Disney movies. The castle serves as the backdrop for projections of characters like Simba from The Lion King, Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, and Elsa from Frozen. The projections are so vivid and detailed that it almost feels like the characters are leaping out of the screen and into the park.

Throughout the show, the fireworks are perfectly timed to enhance the emotional beats of each song and scene. During the emotional finale, when the classic song “When You Wish Upon a Star” begins to play, the fireworks crescendo into a breathtaking display of color and light that fills the sky.

Happily Ever After is a truly unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling inspired and uplifted. If you’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World, be sure to add this to your must-see list. The show runs most nights, but be sure to check the park schedule to confirm showtimes. And if you want to get the best view, be sure to arrive early and stake out a spot in front of the castle.
