on June 15, 2021

As we teased last week fireworks are back! Disney has just announced the return of fireworks at Walt Disney World. Beginning July 1st, Happily Ever After and Epcot Forever return to Walt Disney World. On July 4th, Mickey’s Mix Magic will return to Disneyland.

Happily Ever After will go off at 9:15 p.m. and Epcot Forever at 10:00 p.m. for the month of July. Fans of Epcot Forever will notice some slight changes to the show as well.The kites for example in Epcot Forever likely will not be back for this go around of the show.

Here is what Disney has to say about the return:

“At Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, July 1 marks the start of nightly fireworks performances at Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT. “Happily Ever After” will transform Cinderella Castle with lights, projections and pyrotechnics, as moments from favorite Disney stories encourage you to grab hold of your dreams and make them come true. And as part of the ongoing transformation of EPCOT, “EPCOT Forever” will produce a spectacle of fireworks, music and lighting effects over World Showcase Lagoon, highlighting the themes of innovation, exploration, imagination and celebration at the core of the park’s past, present and future.

As Disneyland park in California welcomes back all guests, the fun starts July 4 with “Mickey’s Mix Magic” presented nightly throughout the summer. State-of-the-art projections, show lighting and lasers will transform Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle and the façade of “it’s a small world” into a dazzling, family fun dance party that goes sky high with fireworks to celebrate the leader of the club, Mickey Mouse.
