8 Reasons We Love Disney World Fireworks

Fireworks are a celebration to mark something special, and that’s why Disney has fireworks every day! A day spent at Disney is something to celebrate. It’s a wonderful, magical place to be, and the fireworks displays are a big part of that. Here are some reasons why we love Disney World fireworks.





 

8 – Viewing Locations

One of the many things we love about the fireworks at Disney is the guests’ viewing options. There are a few options in Magic Kingdom for viewing the Happily Ever After nighttime spectacular. Because of the projections during the show on Cinderella Castle, we highly recommend you secure your viewing spot on Main Street, U.S.A. early in the evening. With Happily Ever After, while you’ll still be able to see the fireworks if you are not on Main Street, you won’t really be able to “get” the show without viewing the castle projections. Simply put, to fully appreciate and enjoy this show, you must view it from Main Street U.S.A., or the Hub in front of Cinderella Castle. Plus, with the return of Happily Ever After in April 2023, Disney added new projections all the way down Main Street, U.S.A.! Be sure to check out the new additions.

Any of the pavilions in the World Showcase at Epcot have views of the fireworks show “Luminous the Symphony of Us.” Many of the restaurants at the World Showcase also have good views, which allows some diners to have a delicious meal or dessert while viewing the nighttime spectacular.

7 – Day Time Fireworks

Disney doesn’t only use fireworks during the evening shows. Fireworks are used in the opening ceremony that opens the Magic Kingdom, and they’re also used in some shows that happen throughout the day in front of Cinderella Castle. The fireworks seen during the day at Magic Kingdom aren’t a big fireworks show. They’re simply just a few sent up in celebration during the shows, but it really does add to the magic at Disney, and it creates a sense of surprise.

6 – Magical Way to End the Day

There just isn’t a better way to end your day at the most magical place on earth than standing at the foot of Cinderella Castle or on Main Street as the biggest and brightest fireworks paint the night sky above you, filling your whole view with bursts of color that sparkle!

5 – Firework Dessert Parties

Disney offers fireworks dessert parties at the parks with fireworks shows, which is an amazing way to experience fireworks. At Magic Kingdom, there are three options for firework dessert parties: Treats & Seats, Pre-Party, and After Party. Sitting in a VIP area while feasting on desserts and sipping on a beverage with a perfect view of the fireworks is a sensational experience.

4 – Fireworks Cruise Dessert Parties

You can also view Disney Enchantment from a ferryboat on a special Ferrytale Fireworks: A Sparkling Dessert Cruise. Ferrytale Fireworks: A Sparkling Dessert Cruise takes place on select Wednesday and Saturday nights and offers a delicious spread of food and beverages and an amazing view of Happily Ever After.





 

3 – Holiday Fireworks

Disney goes all out during the holidays, and that includes special holiday fireworks. Both Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party include holiday music and amazing projections. We love that Disney adds some extra pixie dust to their fireworks when the holidays roll around.

2 – The Music

Music is a big and important part of the fireworks at Disney. Much of the music is recognizable and fan favorites from Disney movies.  The music is fantastic, and the fireworks are also set to the music, adding to the whole experience and show. It helps deliver the Disney fireworks experience, a feast for the ears and eyes.

1 – Disney Magic

Standing at the base of Cinderella Castle, seeing your favorite characters find courage and strength can bring a strong emotional response. Disney fireworks create a feeling; they make you believe that dreams really can come true and wishes can be answered. Only the fireworks at Disney can create that kind of magic.

Lauren lives in Hamilton Ontario, but dreams of one day moving to Orlando to be closer to the Magic Kingdom. In the meantime, she spends her days working for the family business as a barista and baker, being active in the independent theatre scene in Hamilton and working part-time as a professional personal assistant to a writer. Lauren’s most memorable Disney moment is by far when she became engaged in front of Cinderella’s Castle making it her best Disney vacation to date.
