Question about fireworks shows

[eowyn]

Hi I was just wondering if anyone knows what times the Illuminations, Fantasmic and fireworks at Magic Kingdom start? We'll be there September 18 to the 27th. Also do all three shows run every night? Thanks.

The fireworks and Fantasmic are subject to the weather... in general they do run every night.

You can check the calendars on the Disney website - http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/calendar/parkhours/calendarHome?id=EPCalendarParkHoursMonthlyViewPage -

if you click on the date in the calendar that you are visiting each park, it will give you the schedule for the day.

This is the official calendar, and the one I normally use,

This site also has a calendar of park hours and fireworks/parade schedules.

I did find some inaccuracies recently over the 4th of July holiday in this calendar.

From the calendar at the Disny website:

Illuminations will be at 9 everynight

Wishes: 18,21,23-25 9 PM
19-20, 26 8 PM
22 None (MSSSHP instead)

Fantasmic will be a 8 every night

Ecpot is usually 9 or 9:30 everynight. Have to check Disney's site to be sure of MK times.

Anything too far in advance will be pure speculation.
Events and times change frequently.

The only way to "know" is to check the official WDW calendar (or other fan websites' calendars) after Disney issues the times.

They issue about 6 months in advance.
Even after they issue the schedules, they are still subject to change as the actual dates get closer.

Thanks for info on schedules. I still can't find the abbrev. site I did what was suggested and there was nothing about abbrev. So please what is MSSHP .

Thanks everyone for the information. I think I understand now. The fireworks are at park closing.

I think I understand now. The fireworks are at park closing.

Well, no, that's not correct.
Certainly not at every park and not every night is that true.

We keep saying you need to LOOK IT UP on the WDW calendar to find out WHEN the fireworks are shown.

It can be a different time on different days.

Here is the link:

Pick your Park. Pick your Month. Click on your Day.
Disney publishes dates and times approximately 6 months in advance.
Make sure to check back often, as times and events are subject to change as the actual dates get nearer.

For EMH, click on the WORDS > "Extra Magic Hours" < on the official calendar.

Again, remember, to check back as your trip approaches,

Wishes at 8? Doesn't that seem early? When I was there on Saturday it was still daylight at 8 in the evening. They didn't have Wishes until 10:20 that night which was perfect. I just can't imagine seeing the show during the day, it would seem so akward!

We are discussing late SEPTEMBER dates.

The days are much shorter by then.

Try to keep up.
