Traditional fireworks and show schedules?!

[katyringo]

As Disneyland pros...

when Covid isn’t a thing does WDW typically run shows every night?

its fairly typical for Disneyland to only offer fantasmic and fireworks on weekends unless it’s a busy time.

we booked for 2022 so I’m asking as I think about our park reservations.

Yes, in normal times there are fireworks/nighttime spectaculars every night.

No idea if/when a night time show will return to AK as Rivers of Light was retired (again).
By 2022, would expect the other 3 parks to have their night time shows back.

Sometimes Fantasmic has only run a few nights per week during very slow times. MK fireworks and Epcot show have pretty much always been every night.

*** weather permitting!
If a nighttime show is a priority, make sure you do a park hopper or schedule that park twice for single park tickets.

there have been times the shows are delayed a few minutes-ish, and then times where the weather looks fine and they cancel them anyways.

AND let’s say you miss it on your reservation day... well there’s several places to view the fireworks at MK (some with accompanying music!) in case you need an emergency backup plan.

• Once Epcot starts HarmoniUS that should be nightly like Illuminations was.
• HS alwasy did StarWars fireworks nightly and usually Fantasmic as well, even sometimes have 2 Fantasmic showtimes on busy days. Slow weeks sometimes skipped doing Fantasmic a few nights but that was pretty rare in recent years.
• MK has their fireworks show nightly except during the Halloween and Christmas party seasons. Parties require a separate ticket to attend and regular ticket guests needed to leave before nightfall. The regular MK fireworks played on non-party nights and special holiday fireworks played on party nights. Party season is from August thru December.
• AK retired their night show without confirmation of a replacement.

If you're not attending a party but want to see the special fireworks, the ferryboat dock at the TTC is a great place to watch - nice view, few people, and they pipe in the music. If you want to do it, book a dinner at an appropriate time at the Poly and walk over (5 minutes).

Thanks all. We are suckers for dessert parties .. so we hope in June 2022 to have the option for a fantasmic dessert party and mk firework dessert party. We are planning 2 days in HS and MK. We aren’t planning to buy hopper tickets.

what Happens with the dessert parties of the shows are canceled? I think their disclaimer is that it’s non refundable right? We’ve done the desert part for world of color at Disneyland many times and fantasmic dinner package. Luckily never impacted by weather.

Right.

You basically have paid to "eat dessert."
