We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — no two Disney World days are alike.
Magic Kingdom
No matter how much planning you do, you might run into hiccups that put a damper on your day, which is why it’s always a good idea to stay flexible. If you’re heading to Magic Kingdom soon, you need to know about this fireworks change!
Heads up if you’re heading to Magic Kingdom soon! Happily Ever After fireworks showtimes are changing this weekend. Currently, you can catch Happily Ever After nightly at 8 PM. But, on Sunday, March 9th, those showtimes move to 8:30 PM.
Happily Ever After
This is to help account for the light difference once the clocks change for Daylight Savings Time, which is happening this weekend as well. Then, on Sunday, March 30th, 2025, Happily Ever After fireworks showtimes change yet again. Starting then, you’ll be able to see the fireworks nightly at 9 PM.
We LOVE Happily Ever After!
Showtimes will be at 9 PM for the foreseeable future — at least as far as the Disney World calendar currently shows. Disney will often change the showtimes for fireworks to account for how long it stays light out, with the showtimes getting later thanks to those long summer days.
This isn’t the only change happening in Magic Kingdom currently — and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on it all!
Happily Ever After
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is currently closed for a lengthy refurbishment.
- Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America Are Closing Permanently: These classic attractions will make way for a brand-new Cars-themed area, which will definitely expand Frontierland in a whole new direction.
- Villains Land Construction Is Underway: Beyond Big Thunder Mountain, Disney is working on the all-new Villains land. If you’re coming in 2025, and the noise, walls, and disruption are most likely going to be impossible to ignore.
- DVC Lounge Replacing the old Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade: Over in the heart of Frontierland, the former Shootin’ Arcade is being replaced with a Disney Vacation Club lounge.
