PHOTOS, VIDEO: “Happily Ever After” Returns to Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom’s fireworks show, “Happily Ever After”, has returned after a year with no nighttime spectaculars. We witnessed a full show test from afar a few days ago, and Cast Members got their own special preview last night, but tonight was the first time guests got to see the show up close since March 2020.

The crowds turned out en masse as guests were excited for the return of fireworks to the Magic Kingdom.

The “ladies and gentleman, boys and girls” greeting before the show has been removed to promote inclusivity.

And yes, the mass exodus from the parks post-fireworks is back. We exited tonight via the redone west bypass path.
