Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT Forever at EPCOT both returned on July 1st! Although both of these shows are closing in September, we have some new nighttime shows to look forward to for the 50th anniversary celebrations. Fireworks have been missing from Disney’s Hollywood Studios since it reopened last year, but now they are BACK!
Earlier today, we saw Cast Members putting tape down to create a walkway for fireworks crowds.

Tape is going down!
About an hour before fireworks start, we started to see crowds gather.

Fireworks are back at Hollywood Studios!
The show features projections of Disney’s animated movies on the Chinese Theatre to celebrate over 90 years of animation! Characters from your favorite Disney and Pixar films star in short sequences that celebrate friendship, magic, family, and adventure! While it mostly focuses on the projections, there are a few fireworks in the mix.
Here’s some of the Wonderful World of Animation in Hollywood Studios!
