Happily Ever After is the best regular fireworks show to ever grace the skies above Magic Kingdom (there are only 2 others, so not exactly a huge accomplishment) and conceivably Magic Kingdom’s best fireworks show ever, period. Thankfully, both concerns were completely unfounded. It worried me that Happily Ever After would have similar issues, or perhaps an insufficient amount of pyro for a Magic Kingdom fireworks show… Suffice to say, Disney Illuminations felt like a poorly-edited commercial for hot new films, completely disjointed and lacking heart. I shared my thoughts on that fireworks show in our recent trip recap, but most of you probably didn’t read that. Then we saw Disney Illuminations in Disneyland Paris. Disney’s initial announcement sounded promising it seemed a lot of effort was being put into the show. Initially, I was cautiously optimistic about Happily Ever After. We weren’t alone in this–for many Walt Disney World fans, Wishes was the only normal Magic Kingdom fireworks show they had ever known. While it was not a fireworks show of which we were particularly fond, over time nostalgia had wormed its way into our hearts, giving us a sense of attachment to that show. If you read my Wishes – A Magical Gathering of Disney Dreams Tribute, you know it was bittersweet for us to see Wishes go. (This review contains spoilers…to the extent text and photos can spoil a fireworks show.) In this review of the nighttime spectacular, we’ll take a look at whether Happily Ever After lives up to the legacy of Wishes, how it compares to other ‘castle park’ fireworks shows, and share photos from show. Happily Ever After is the new fireworks show in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
