Nighttime entertainment in the winter

[CdnCarrie]

I have searched the historical park hours but not found what I'm looking for exactly.

January/early February what can we expect for evening entertainment. From what I remember from our 2005 trip it was fireworks only on Saturday night?


Fantasmic is seasonal right? So any idea if WOC will be one night and DL fireworks another one? Nothing during the weekdays?

I'm just trying to decide whether to book a Saturday-Saturday trip or a Thursday - Thursday or something.

I know that like for 3 or so days after the new year the park was pretty light on crowds and still had the full entertainment schedule. It quiets down after that. I think the fireworks run weekends only. If the fireworks are running I'm sure WoC will be also, perhaps only on the weekends. I think F! also goes dark during that time.

Wait for more people to chime in.

Fantasmic is not seasonal. It runs year round. In off-season like you are talking about it will be weekends only - which usually means Fri/Sat/Sun but sometimes means Fri/Sat. WOC will probably be weekends only but we will not know how Disney plans to handle WOC until the first off-season time comes this September.

How about fireworks? Weekends only?

Would there be anything Monday - Thursday?

Probably, I forget what fireworks show takes place during that time. If its Remember Dreams Come True, that is one great show. Take a look at the past hours, if the park closes before it gets dark than yea.

From your OP I thought you must have seen these links. But maybe not...

Fireworks, Fantasmic and probably World of Color will be weekends only in off-season - except for Christmas holidays when fireworks shows nightly from mid-Nov thru New Years.

In the past year Aladdin has shown Thursday-Sunday year round - high season or low. This summer Disney made it daily with less shows each day - to support the extra crowds for WOC.

Parades tend to run daily. In off-season they do only one parade instead of two for high season.

We are planning a trip for may. I looked what happened I think last year (from a link here) and it looked like F did not go at all thru the times I was looking at and fireworks where only on the weekend. I changed my days to add in a saturday and sunday but may change that to only friday if F is not playing like last year and its only fireworks. Plus the park closed at 8 pm so I wont have a problem using mm or ttmm in the am duing the weekdays. Then I saw the Parade only runs during the day on weekdays and during the day and at night on weekends.

This year was unusual for Fantasmic. The river was drained from Jan-May, so no Fantasmic during that period- just because of the refurb. Expect to see it all year, with weekends only in the off-season.

F! was down this year because of the ROA being drained.
8 pm closing is typical for during the week in the off season. Parks will open at 10 am.
MM and TTMM will still be going like normal.
Parades only have 1 showing on weekdays because of the earlier closing time and crowd levels.

I know its off season thats why everything is less then the weekdays then the weekend. I did not know the reason F was down just thought it was because it was the off season. Aslong as its running again this season then we will keep our days sat-wed to see F on night and fireworks the other night. I planned on using my mm and ttmm on saturday morning that way we dont feel rushed to see everything when the weekdays are shorter.
