Happily Ever After is an astounding fireworks extravaganza featuring lights, lasers and special effects—including projections down Main Street, U.S.A.
At Get Away Today we agree—there's only one way to end a perfect day at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, it's with a magical fireworks show. Happily Ever After first debuted May 12, 2017 when it replaced the popular Wishes: A Magical Gathering of Disney Dreams fireworks show. It’s been the main staple of a night at Magic Kingdom except for a brief time during the 50th anniversary celebration.
Needless to say guests and Get Away Today staff are beyond thrilled to have this iconic fireworks spectacular showing nightly over Cinderella Castle.

Where to Watch Happily Ever After Fireworks
We love catching nightly fireworks at Magic Kingdom and while lots of people enjoy this show as well, there are plenty of places to view with your family.
Here are five of our top spots to view Happily Ever After in no particular order:
- The hub in front of Cinderella Castle at the end of Main Street. This location provides the best view of the projections on the castle and Tinker Bell flying over the crowd. Arrive early!
- Main Street U.S.A. This location gives an excellent view of the fireworks, and the Main Street projections. It can be crowded, but you won’t need to arrive as early as spot one above.
- Behind the castle which offers a unique vantage point most people don’t realize is available.
- Main Street, U.S.A Train Station. Great elevated views and sometimes you can even sit down.
- Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. This attraction, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad are such fun attractions to experience while the show is going!
