After dark

End the day with fireworks

As night falls, Main Street fills with families finding their spot. Then the music begins, the castle comes alive with projections and the sky explodes with colour in Happily Ever After. On many nights, the Disney Starlight parade glows its way through the park too.

✦The first burst of fireworks over the castle, and the whole of Main Street gasping at once.

  • Best view: Main Street U.S.A. looking towards the castle
  • Quieter view: from the Contemporary’s California Grill, or the beach at the Polynesian
  • Tip: grab a snack and a spot 30 to 45 minutes before showtime

Your questions answered

Magic Kingdom FAQs

At least one full day, and most families love to return for a second day or evening. With a multi-day ticket, many UK guests visit two or three times during a two-week stay.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Peter Pan’s Flight and ‘it’s a small world’ are perfect for little ones, along with meeting Mickey at Town Square Theater.

Main Street U.S.A. looking towards the castle gives the full projection show. For a quieter view with dinner, California Grill at the Contemporary is magical.

It’s not essential, but on busy days it can save hours. Lightning Lane Multi Pass covers many rides, and Single Pass is for the biggest headliners. We’ll advise based on your dates.
