Fireworks Return to Walt Disney World July 1st

Just in time for the nation’s Independence Day celebrations, Disney’s popular nighttime fireworks spectaculars are returning to the Disney theme parks!

A Disney tradition since 1957, fireworks shows are what Walt Disney called the perfect “kiss goodnight” at the close of a magical day, and this summer the skies above Disney theme parks will sparkle with color once more.

At Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, July 1st marks the start of nightly fireworks performances at Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT.

“Happily Ever After” will transform Cinderella Castle with lights, projections and pyrotechnics, as moments from favorite Disney stories encourage you to grab hold of your dreams and make them come true.

And as part of the ongoing transformation of EPCOT, “EPCOT Forever” will produce a spectacle of fireworks, music and lighting effects over World Showcase Lagoon, highlighting the themes of innovation, exploration, imagination and celebration at the core of the park’s past, present and future.

As Disneyland park in California welcomes back all guests, the fun starts July 4th with “Mickey’s Mix Magic” presented nightly throughout the summer. State-of-the-art projections, show lighting and lasers will transform Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle and the façade of “it’s a small world” into a dance party with fireworks to celebrate the leader of the club, Mickey Mouse.
