ORLANDO, Calif. — Walt Disney World has announced the return date of “Happily Ever After” fireworks show at Magic Kingdom and revealed an update on its nighttime spectacular plans for Epcot.
“Happily Ever After” will begin again at Magic Kingdom on April 3, replacing “Disney Enchantment,” set to be seen nightly through April 2. “Enchantment” debuted on Oct. 1, 2021, Disney World’s 50th anniversary date. “Happily Ever After” was previously seen at the park from May 2017, when it replaced “Wishes,” through September 2021.
Epcot’s end-of-night show has been “Harmonious” since Oct. 1, 2021. The production, which has centered over large black barges in the World Showcase Lagoon, also will wrap up April 2. There will be a “phased removal” of the show’s fireworks platforms after that, according to the official Disney Parks Blog.
“Epcot Forever” will return to the park for a temporarily stint beginning April 3. That show was seen in 2021 in between the runs of “IllumiNations” and “Harmonious.”
Disney had announced in September that it was planning a new nighttime spectacular that would start at Epcot sometime in 2023. It has not revealed more details or a more specific time frame.
