    What time are the fireworks or night time celebrations at each of the parks?

    Let’s get ready to watch the night sky light up above the Disney Parks! Michelle, the nighttime spectaculars are a great way to close out a magical Disney day! 

    There are nighttime shows at three of the Disney Parks – Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios. Animal Kingdom does not host a nighttime fireworks show because the “residents” of that park enjoy a peaceful environment.

    The start times of each show are based upon the seasons. The best way to see the times for each show is to visit the Disney World website, where you will find a page dedicated to each show.

    When you visit the website, search for Happily Ever After (Magic Kingdom), Luminous The Symphony of Us (EPCOT), and Fantasmic! (Hollywood Studios). When the pages open, you’ll see a small calendar icon. Click on the icon to reveal a calendar and then select the dates for which you’d like to see each show. The showtimes are usually listed months in advance to allow for better planning! As of the posting of this answer, the start times for nighttime shows are listed through mid-September 2026.

    Michelle, depending on when you visit, Fantasmic!, the show at Hollywood Studios, is sometimes held twice at night. The second show tends to be less crowded. Fantasmic! happens to be my favorite of all three nighttime spectaculars at Disney World! I feel like I’m watching a Disney movie being played out in front of me. In fact, nothing takes me back to my childhood at Disney World more than Fantasmic!

    Come on back to planDisney as you continue planning your visit!

    Dreams do come true!
