Coming to MK soon with DD who has some acute issues with certain sounds.

The schedule lists a "Once Upon A Time Show" @ the MK Castle. The description doesnt mention fireworks but the picture shows them. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/entertainment/magic-kingdom/once-upon-a-time-castle-show/

Are there fireworks at this (or at the end)? if so, I have to make sure we are miles away or in Small World at that time.

Also, two restroom questions:
1. are there family restrooms at MK?
2. Do the restrooms at MK have dryers? Dryers cause us major issues.

Thanks very much for any intel.

A. Yes.
B. During the show -and- at the "finale."

HERE is a YouTube of the show, so that you can judge for yourself.


1. Yes.
2. Some do.

May be a silly question but have you tried noise reducing headphones for Disney?
Or at least for times when you need to use a bathroom or during the show?
Seems like there may be 1 burst of fireworks during the other show in the daytime, who's name has totally left my head

1. Yes, Loud, quick burst of fireworks during the finale. Happens at least 5 times per day.

2. Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire

There was a family bathroom over at the restrooms right outside Pirates of the Caribbean.

HERE is a list of the Family/Companion Restroom locations at WDW.

The restrooms adjacent to City Hall (Guest Relations) in MK's Town Square are/were in refurb recently.
There MIGHT be a new Companion Restroom there after the work is completed.
 
The companion restrooms are not designed as family restrooms. The toilets are taller and are more designed for people with wheelchairs. There are automatic flusher on some of them as well as hand dryers in some.
You could try the baby care center. They don't have small toilets but it's less crazy
 
Others have covered the question of fireworks during Once Upon A Time, but I wanted to share something that helped us.

You probably already know this, but one tip I found useful when the girls were little was to use Post-It notes to cover the automatic flush sensor for the toilets. The Post-It keeps the toilet from flushing until you are ready and remove the paper.
 
Royal friendship faire (castle stage show) which repeats several times a day has some darn loud fireworks at the end of it. You can set your watch by it-- fireworks go off 23 minutes after the start of the show.

Also - they can be heard all over MK - not just by the castle
 
I also have a noise sensitive kid. The noise canceling headphones are a lifesaver for us. There is just no telling where the next unexpected noise is going to come from. The trip before the headphones was exhausting for all of us. They are at least worth a try!!
