Once Upon a Time and Happily Ever After question

[SoDakDisneyMom]

What is the difference between these two? Such a rookie question but I can not figure it out. Thanks!

Once upon a time is a 14 min projection show

Happily ever after is a 18 min new projection/firework show

Do they normally play these on the same nights? We are going Nov 30-Dec 7 and I only see Happily Ever After scheduled to show.

Yes. Disney does not typically post show schedules this far out, and what little they have is not particularly reliable.

Not sure if this is your first trip, but Happily Ever After recently replaced Wishes and Once Upon a Time replaced Celebrate the Magic. Currently HEA is being shown at 9pm and OUAT is at 9:45. Both are best viewed from hub area in front of castle since they involve projections on it.

As mesaboy2 mentioned, you will have to wait till much closer for schedules to be out for your trip. Just an FYI, the week you are going will have MVMCP(Christmas Party) at MK 3 or 4 nts., with park closing at 7 to those w/o a party ticket, so you will have to be at the park on one of the other nts to see these. Check out this thread for info on those dates: https://www.disboards.com/threads/o...tmas-party-2017-believe-in-the-magic.3587769/

Not entirely true. HEA won't air during MVMCP - it'll be Holiday Wishes.

I guess I did not communicate that clearly - was trying to give OP heads up that she would not be able to see the show on party nights for her planning purposes- didn't mean to imply that it would be shown during the party.

Thank you all so much!
