Happily Ever After
Magic Kingdom’s Happily Ever After fireworks show is an 18 minute, spectacular journey through Disney’s most beloved films. This show uses projection mapping, lights, fireworks, and music to tell the story of heroes, love, and friendship from so many of the Disney movies we know and love.
This show is incredibly beloved and missed by Disney fans everywhere! Happily Ever After retired September 29, 2021, and there has been something missing from Magic Kingdom ever since.
The show was replaced with the 50th anniversary nighttime spectacular, Disney Enchantment, leaving many fans...disenchanted.
D23 announcement
As D23 Parks panel opened, fans were greeted by Jordan Fisher, singing a fantastic rendition of “Happily Ever After,” the beloved fireworks spectacular’s theme song.
In the first few minutes of D23, Josh D’Amaro announced Happily Ever After would be returning to Walt Disney World in 2023! However, we were so excited we may have misheard this announcement.

The Happily Ever After Firework show should be brought back as it was. Why Disney felt they should replace it after such a short run is unexplainable. And to replace it with the inferior Enchanted, which does not bring the goose bumps I always got when watching fireworks over the Castle clearly is not in step with fan's wishes

Seeing all the excitement and happy tears this announcement brought perhaps they should heed the desires of the fans and bring back HEA in it's entirety!

Enchantment needs to go in its entirety. It's one of the worst shows ever.
