Watching Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom is one of our favorite ways to end a day in the parks.
It’s a beautiful show that makes us cry nearly every time, and we know a lot of families want to be sure to grab a good spot around half an hour before showtime. Which is why you need to know that as the days get longer, the time for fireworks is about the change!
Currently, Happily Ever After begins at 9:00PM, but starting May 12th, the new start time will be 9:20PM for the foreseeable future.
This is because the sun starts to set later and later, and Disney wants to make sure it’s completely dark before the show begins! This way, you can see the projections and the fireworks themselves very clearly.
This means that you’ll want to secure your spot along Main Street U.S.A. between 8:20PM and 8:50PM if you want to ensure you get the best spot you can.
