It’s New Years Eve! At Walt Disney World, that means it’s time for fireworks shows you’ll only see at the end of the year. As MouseHouseNews.net previously reported, there are three ways you can ring in the new year. Whether you are ringing in the New Year at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there is a show for you.
Magic Kingdom
For visitors to Magic Kingdom, Happily Ever After is the regularly scheduled nighttime fireworks show. However, this show will not go on tonight. Fantasy In The Sky Fireworks is a New Years Eve themed show that will light up the sky in place of Happily Ever After. There will be two shows tonight. The first show will be at 7:30 PM and there’s a second showing at 11:50 PM. Happily Ever After returns on January 1, 2026.
EPCOT
At EPCOT, the regular nighttime show is Luminous – The Symphony Of Us. This show will be shown earlier tonight. You can expect to see Luminous – The Symphony Of Us at 6:30 PM. Then, at exactly 11:54 PM, EPCOT will put on Cheers to the New Year: A Sparkling Celebration. This will be a fireworks show timed to ring in the new year right at midnight. Also, EPCOT will be open until 1:00 AM tonight. Luminous – The Symphony Of Us returns to its regular time tomorrow.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, New Year’s Eve will not bring about any changes to the regular nightly show, Fantasmic! That show will go on as planned at 9:30 PM. However, the park will be open until midnight tonight and there will be an additional fireworks show just before midnight. You can watch the New Year Countdown Fireworks starting at 11:57 PM at Hollywood Studios.
However you choose to ring in the new year, have fun! If you will be in the parks tonight, bundle up, as temperatures have nose-dived and you can expect temperatures only in the low 40s around the time the clock strikes midnight. If you are celebrating New Years Eve at a Disney resort, be on the lookout for special activities to celebrate the holiday. These activities are likely posted around the main swimming pool at the resort. MouseHouseNews.net will bring you more information as it becomes available.
