“Harmonious” and “Disney Enchantment” Fireworks to Premiere October 1st

After all the excitement over fireworks coming back, Disney Parks Blog has just announced that two new fireworks shows will premiere on October 1st, the kick-off day for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary.

Both “Harmonious” at EPCOT and “Disney Enchantment” at Magic Kingdom will begin the 18-month long celebration.

“Harmonious” will take place in the World Showcase Lagoon. Disney Park’s Blog has described this show as one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created for a Disney Park. Many visitors to EPCOT have witnessed the large setup in the waters of the lagoon and others have witnessed the fireworks testing taking place weekly after the park has closed. The anticipation for this show has certainly been building.

We have only heard rumors before for a new Magic Kingdom show. Now we know “Disney Enchantment” will grace the skies over the Magic Kingdom. It seems that this show will temporarily replace “Happily Ever After” throughout the 50th which is being celebrated from October 1, 2021, and for the remaining 18 months. No official end date for the celebration has been announced. This show will feature music, enhanced lighting, stunning fireworks, and immersive projections not only on the castle but all the way down Main Street USA.

There will also be new daytime entertainment at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. “Disney KiteTails” will take place at the Discovery River Amphitheater starting October 1st as well. Performers will fly windcatchers and kites of all shapes and sizes out on the water. Some will stretch as long as 30 feet and depict Disney animal friends such as Simba, Zazu, Baloo, and King Louie.

Mickey Mouse and friends haven’t been forgotten for the festivities. As they host the “World’s Most Magical Celebration”, starting Oct. 1, they will be decked out in sparkling new EARidescent fashions.

Fab Five? How about Fab 50? You will be able to see 50 character scultpures displayed across all four theme parks. These scultpures should be fun to look for and photograph as part of this lengthy celebration of Walt Disney World.

NEWS: Projections Coming to Main Street, U.S.A. for Disney’s World’s 50th Anniversary

We’ve been getting excited for Disney World’s 50th anniversary!

Happily Ever After

The celebration kicks off on October 1st and lasts for a whopping 18 months. And while we’ve already got a taste of what’s in store (like new costumes for Mickey and Minnie, a ride’s grand opening, new eats, and more), Disney’s got something else up their sleeve!

Today, Disney announced that a NEW fireworks show — Disney Enchantment — will be coming to Magic Kingdom as part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations.

One of the most unique things about this show is that for the first time ever in Disney World, there will be immersive projection effects used during the show that will extend from Cinderella Castle down Main Street, U.S.A.!

We have seen projection mapping used on Cinderella Castle before during shows like Happily Ever After and the holiday projections that were done last year, but this projection show will stretch down to Main Street, U.S.A.’s buildings. That sounds pretty exciting!

Main Street, U.S.A.

It sounds somewhat similar in a sense to what was done for Disneyland Forever, a show that was featured over at Disneyland Park where there were projects on the buildings on Main Street, U.S.A.

According to Disney, Enchantment was created to launch with “The World’s Most Magical Celebration,” and it will take guests “on a journey filled with adventure, wonder and empowerment,” inspiring everyone to believe in magic. Guests will get to enjoy music, enhanced lighting, and stunning fireworks along with those immersive projections.

The show will debut on October 1st, 2021, as part of the kick-off to the 50th Anniversary celebrations.

If you’re itching to see fireworks again in Disney World though you won’t have to wait that long. Fireworks will officially return to Magic Kingdom (with Happily Ever After) and EPCOT (with EPCOT Forever) on July 1st, 2021!

Happily Ever After
