Disney World Confirms Holiday Fireworks Lineup at Magic Kingdom for Late December
The shift opens a Christmas-week viewing window for non–party guests before the park’s two-night New Year’s countdown.
Overview
- Disney confirmed that Happily Ever After pauses in the second half of December and returns on January 1.
- Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks runs for all day guests December 22–29, typically starting at 8:30 p.m.
- The Minnie-led show is the full party version, offered without requiring a Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party ticket.
