Fan favorite firework show 'Happily Ever After' will return to Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in 2023.


'Disney Enchantment' is expected to come to an end alongside the conclusion of Walt Disney World's 50th celebration in March, with 'Happily Ever After' taking its place from April 2023.

Speaking at D23 Expo, Disney Parks Chairman Josh D'Amaro said that an "the popular anthem 'Happily Ever After' will play again when an updated nighttime spectacular returns to light up the skies over Cinderella Castle."

Jordan Fisher and Angie Keilhauer performed "Happily Ever After" to announce its return to Magic Kingdom.

Fan reaction to the 50th 'Disney Enchantment' show was poor, so it comes as no surprise that it had a limited 18-month run at Magic Kingdom.

I found it in HEA's Calendar on MDE. Celebrate America is not on MDE yet.

They will definitely have celebrate America. I wouldn't bet on HEA for those nights, But I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Just looked and it looks like there's nothing listed for those dates right now, at least for me. No Celebrate America or HEA

Anyone get to see the test or find videos of it last night?

This and Fantasy in sky, they didn't even change the words in Fantasy in the sky they just re recorded it and it sounds worse, also I noticed every year the speakers are always out of sync and lower volume from every other show. Also the fourth of July show is only ok. I think I'd rather them just do hea with more pyro and fourth tag like Epcot.

It moves to 9 pm on August 10 this year.

I'm still confused why they redid the whole narration to change a few slight words, new narration sounds worse.

The musical selections and their performance for the 4th of July fireworks show is... bad. Remember, I'm a pixie dusting shill. So, if I say that...

Huh?

MisterPenguinJun 12, 2024

Hopefully the 4th show is updated from the previous awful show whose music was... bad.
