UPDATED November 10, 2025

Disney World is known for its stellar entertainment, but one park is just a bit more magical than the rest.

We’re talking about Magic Kingdom, of course. From parades and cavalcades to stage shows and nighttime spectaculars, chances are there’s something to keep just about anyone entertained in the OG Disney World park. We don’t want you to miss a thing — so we’ve rounded up a FULL list of showtimes for parades, fireworks, castle shows, and more in Magic Kingdom.

You’ll find PLENTY of entertainment nearly everywhere you look in Magic Kingdom. From live music to parades, cavalcades, stage shows, and nighttime spectaculars — there’s always something new and interesting to see if you know where to find it! We’ve rounded up the showtimes for Magic Kingdom parades, fireworks, castle shows, and more.

But, before we start — keep in mind that these showtimes are subject to change. Disney might update these for several reasons — maybe the park is closing early one night or they’re getting ready for a special event.

The below show times are generally accurate, but make sure you check the My Disney Experience app on the date of your visit for the most up-to-date information.

We also make sure to let you know when Disney makes a showtime change, but if a parade or show is canceled due to weather or something last minute, the My Disney Experience app is going to have that updated information first! Now, onto the main events!

Happily Ever After

The Happily Ever After fireworks spectacular is currently showing nightly at 9PM. 

PLEASE BE AWARE: Happily Ever After will NOT be shown on nights when Magic Kingdom hosts Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. The extra-ticket Party has its own exclusive fireworks show!

PLEASE BE AWARE: Happily Ever After will not be shown on December 30th or December 31st. Instead, the Magic Kingdom will present an exclusive New Year’s fireworks display, ‘Fantasy In The Sky’, on both December 30th and December 31st at two times each day, 7:30PM and 11:50PM!

Disney Starlight — Dream the Night Away

A brand new nighttime parade has come to Magic Kingdom as of July 20th, 2025. It’s time for Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away!

Let the Magic Begin

What better way to start your day than with a celebration that includes your favorite Disney characters? This opening show features a Mickey-led musical number in front of Cinderella Castle.

You’ll only catch this show once per day — 5 minutes before the park officially opens (which is most often 9AM, but occasionally 8AM, so be sure to know the day’s park hours before you go).

Make sure you’re ready to head into the park bright and early if you don’t want to miss Let the Magic Begin — guests are permitted to be on Main Street, U.S.A. prior to the official opening of the park to head towards Cinderella Castle to see the show.
