There are many ways to finish a night in Magic Kingdom, but for many it involves fireworks!
For the 50th anniversary celebration at Disney World, a new show called Disney Enchantment debuted replacing Happily Ever After. Soon, though, you’ll be able to watch Happily Ever After again in Magic Kingdom — and we got a sneak peek!
Magic Kingdom’s Happily Ever After fireworks show is officially returning on April 3rd, but at a media event with Disney, we were able to get a preview of the return of the show!
We got to watch Disney Show Director James Silson speak about Happily Ever After’s big return.

We knew the show would be a little different when it returns, and Silson was able to give us some insight on the changes. The main change for the show is the addition of projections on Main Street, U.S.A. which was a feature used in Disney Enchantment, but is new to Happily Ever After.
So what’s the BIG change in Happily Ever After? An immersive experience brought to life through projections down Main Street U.S.A! #AllTheDisneyThrills #WaltDisneyWorld #mediaevent pic.twitter.com/uDQRJwjqsA
