Hi Kris!
Welcome back to planDisney! I'm glad you stopped by to see us again! Whether it's your first trip or your fiftieth, we're always happy to help you plan a vacation that is practically perfect in every way.
Happily Ever After is a "must-do" for me on each visit. Between the music and the beautiful fireworks over Cinderella Castle, I tend to get a bit emotional no matter how many times I've seen it! Kris, I'm happy to share that Happily Ever After is typically included with your regular admission to
Magic Kingdom Park and is available most nights. However, you will want to check the
Hours & Events Calendar about 60 days before your trip to confirm the park hours and showtimes during your stay. You'll likely find a few nights during your trip that Magic Kingdom Park closes early due to
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - a special-ticketed event available select nights throughout the fall. Happily Ever After is usually not shown in the park on those party nights.
Kris, you can view Happily Ever After from several spots around the park, but the most popular is from the hub directly in front of Cinderella Castle or Main Street, U.S.A. There are also dessert party packages available that feature a dessert buffet and a preferred seat for the show. My family likes the
pre-party option so that our little ones can head back to the hotel right after the show, but you'll also find a
post-party and
Seats & Sweets option. Whichever you consider, I'm sure you'll find it a
SWEET way to end the evening!
I hope this information is helpful, and I'm sending lots of pixie dust your way as you continue to plan what I'm sure will be a magical vacation! Remember Kris, you've got a friend in me here at planDisney, so please stop by again if you have any other questions!
Cheers,
Kristi
