Have you heard? Fireworks are returning to Disney World!
Holiday Projections (and brief surprise fireworks!) at Cinderella Castle
Starting July 1st, we’re seeing Happily Ever After come back to Magic Kingdom, along with EPCOT Forever in EPCOT. And people are clearly excited — Park Pass reservations are going FAST! But the return of these nighttime spectaculars brings up other questions…namely about the After Hours BOO Bash event debuting in August.
BOO Bash is this year’s “replacement” for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but it’s being marketed more as an After Hours event and less as a holiday party. However, while both Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and select After Hours events have featured fireworks in the past, as of now, fireworks have not been announced for BOO Bash.

But should the return of fireworks change that? Well, we asked our readers on Instagram! And a whopping 93% of ya thought that yes, Disney should add fireworks to BOO Bash.
Here’s what our readers think!
Since fireworks were a part of holiday events in the past, it’s not too surprising that most of you want to see ’em back. And considering BOO Bash tickets are considerably more expensive than they were for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, it would certainly give guests a little more bang for their buck.
Magic Kingdom
But of course, we have to remember that BOO Bash is a completely different event than previous Halloween parties. It’s shorter, with limited entertainment options (aka we’re not seeing parades either, just cavalcades). We also haven’t heard anything about themed ride overlays or character meet-and-greets just yet. We have just heard a bit about cavalcades and a few character pop-ups. So since other elements of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party aren’t returning (at least as of now), does that mean fireworks won’t, either?
Halloween Cavalcade
Now, we say “as of now” because there IS a chance Disney just hasn’t announced BOO Bash fireworks yet. After all, the return of Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever was JUST announced! We may learn about a BOO Bash fireworks show as the start of the event draws closer. But of course, there’s no guarantee.

Hello from Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
We’re checkin’ out Disney World’s flagship park to see what’s new in construction, merchandise, and more. Let’s get started!
We’ve been keeping an eye on the scrim on Peter Pan’s Flight in Fantasyland. Recently, more of it has been removed!
More scrim is gone!
We also noticed some new trees planted by Cinderella Castle, towards New Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.
Lookin’ spiffy!
Speaking of Tomorrowland, the main entrance area by Monster’s Inc. Laugh Floor is still being repaved.
Still some work being done here!
We’re also keeping up with ALL the progress on the Jungle Cruise reimagining! Recently, we noticed a few new additions: the animatronic skipper’s sunken boat…
Oh no!
…and a new Boats and Baits and Bites shop!
Anyone hungry?
With the further relaxing of safety policies, guests are also being seated a little differently on here now. The plexiglass in the boats is down, and guests can now occupy the middle crates.
We spotted quite a few new pins in Frontier Trading Post! There are 3 new arrivals for The Hunchback of Notre Dame‘s 25th anniversary…
Hunchback of Notre Dame Pins
…a Flounder terrarium pin…
Hi, Flounder!
…and an 80th anniversary The Reluctant Dragon pin!
Anyone remember this movie?!
These are all $19.99 apiece.
There’s MORE new Stitch gear at Star Traders! We found a kids’ t-shirt for $19.99…
MORE Stitch Stuff!
…and a kids’ sweatshirt for $39.99.
Stitch Sweatshirt
The Americana fanny pack has also been restocked!
The fanny pack is BACK, people.
Snag it for $24.99 to celebrate the upcoming 4th of July.
In Tomorrowland Light and Power Co., we found a new magnet to celebrate Indiana Jones’ 40th anniversary.
Indiana Jones Magnet
It’s $14.99!
And lastly, Pride Month gift card bracelets are BACK in the Emporium!
We love these gift card bracelets!
You can activate them with a minimum of $15.
We’re continuing to see changes to safety measures across property. On the monorails to Magic Kingdom, the plastic dividers have all been removed.
No more dividers!
The Walt Disney World Railroad remains temporarily closed. However, as a reminder, guests can request the Main Street Train Station as a location when they purchase a PhotoPass photoshoot package.
Anyone want pictures here?
Lastly, bad weather in the area recently caused over 15 rides in all 4 parks to temporarily close — including in Magic Kingdom. The issue was resolved later that day.
Splash Mountain Temporarily Closed

We have a whole gift guide if you still don’t know what to get for Dad! But, if you’re in Disney World, you can find themed treats like an adorable Father and Son Cupcake or a very unique looking Father’s Day caramel blondie. And we recently saw a NEW treat just in time for the holiday!
Check out the “I Am Your Father” Petit Cake from Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs! Is it just us, or is this cake so witty that you laughed out loud a bit?! I know I did!
The treat is red velvet cake, cream cheese filling, dark chocolate mousse, and white and dark crisp pearls.

Look at that little lightsaber! Now, Darth Vader isn’t the best example of good parenting, but this is might be the most famous movie quote having to do with fatherhood EVER!

This is the PERFECT treat to grab for your dad if he’s a big Star Wars fan! It could also be a funny reminder to give your kids if they forget the holiday, like “Hello? Remember me? I am your father!”
