Question about fireworks and closing show at MK

[Disneymom1102]

I was looking online at the times for the different closing ceremony she was at Magic Kingdom. I noticed that once upon a time is at 8:45 but fireworks looks to be at 7:55 on the same days. I thought they were one right after the other? Thanks in advance!

No, they're not. Sometimes Once Upon a Time is before Happily Ever After and sometimes it is after, and the times change.

When we were there last June, we watched HEA, waited till the crowd thinned, went and rode Peoplemover and Buzz, and then OUaT was playing as we walked out after.

And just FYI for the sake of full clarity, neither Happily Ever After or Once Upon a Time are a “closing show.” Sometimes HEA might be scheduled at closing (more frequent this time of year), but it’s not considered/called a ‘closing’ show.

Celebrate the magic used to be played about 10 min before Wishes.. So you might be thinking of that.

Once upon a time is either played 30 min before Happily Ever After, or 45 min after it.. Give or take 5 min

But neither are right after each other and neither usually close the park
