Magic Kingdom's 50th-anniversary firework show "Disney Enchantment" is returning for its second hard ticket run during Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom in 2025.

 

The nighttime fireworks spectacular, "Disney Enchantment," will return exclusively to Disney After Hours events at Magic Kingdom for 2025 – meaning on event nights, early arrivals will have the opportunity to see both "Happily Ever After" and "Disney Enchantment."

Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom will take place on select nights from January 6, through May 19, 2025. Find out more.

The original "Disney Enchantment" had its final performance as part of the 50th celebration on April 2, 2023, to be replaced by the fan-favorite Happily Ever After on April 3, 2023.

Yeah, we’ve had a few where we felt like kids in a candy store, running from ride to ride and having a blast, we’ve also had a couple where we stood in lines all night debating our decision to spend a few hundred dollars more to stand in more lines. They’ve been hit or miss for us, mostly hit but not 100%.

If everything is walk-on it’s absolutely worth it. If you don’t have an AP, I think doing an MK party + Epic and Volcano Bay or a beach day makes for a great weekend getaway! It’s what I recommend to my clients.

We’ve had mixed experiences with after hours parties over the years, we’ve had a couple where we could walk on everything, 15 minutes at the worst, and others where the lines felt barely better than during the day, 45 minutes plus on many rides. I don’t know if it’s as simple as Disney changes attendance from year to year, or some events are character driven vs ride driven, but we’ve never been able to figure out why some after hours events are absolutely amazing and others we leave feeling like we wasted our money.

A few weeks ago I was at EPCOT's AH (when it was freezing). Rode GotG:CR five times in a row (walk-on each time). I coulda had a sixth ride, but started to feel the teeniest amount of queasiness. So, I didn't push it. Fun.

No worries. “Unprecedented” should be reserved for things that have never happened before - like the present-day White Sox selling out a game. They did get a crowd in the stadium lately but it took a Mass by the new Pope to do it. (He apparently forgot to include the team in his prayers.)

This is so silly, but its fun! And just for you.... I STAND C O R R E C T E D 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

No need. Just look it up. 😉 If it happens every year, it’s due to popular demand.

Due to unprecedented demand, the after hours parties consistently sold out ;) The shorter wait times and free snacks don't hurt. ;) PS. I love to go back and forth on meanings of words. Its what makes forums.wdwmagic.com Great!!

Unprecedented means it’s never happened before. Since these parties often sell out, the demand for them is fairly consistent.

Unprecedented demand!!!
