When are the Star Wars fireworks at DHS over

[joxer1014]

Just arranged a last minute trip to WDW. Will be there from 2/1 to 2/5. I would like to know if anyone out there knows how long the Star Wars fireworks will be there. I believe I read somewhere that it is on until March 20 but I don't know if that is accurate. Also do they run the fireworks every night or only certain nights?

Thanks very much

Every night.
Ends March 19.

The fireworks dessert party ends March 19, there's no official word when the fireworks end. It can be assumed they end then as well. Although they started Dec 19 and the dessert party started Jan 5, so they don't necessarily have to go hand in hand.

Where are the Sta Wars fireworks held in relation to Fantasmic?

 

[Robo]

Fantasmic! is held in the theater in the far north end of DHS.

The fireworks are displayed above the Chinese Theater/Great Movie Ride, in the central section of DHS at the west end of Hollywood Blvd.

What time are the fireworks?

What time are the fireworks?

Right now:
Sunday at 11:00pm
Monday at 10:00pm
Tuesday-Saturday at 8:00pm

Figure that they will make changes in start-time as the length of daylight changes, week-by-week.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I thought the fireworks would run all year?! We're going in April. I am so upset.

They might still be running then. Disney doesn't even have the February schedule up, so we only know that they will go through 3/19 because of the dessert party schedule. I think we will just have to wait and see.

Does anyone know a decent viewing area to see the fireworks from a distanceif you aren't planning to go to DHS? We have a short Disney visit coming up and only have time for two park days and are doing Epcot and MK, but not buying park hopper tickets.

I have no insights as to the end date, but I will add that if you are at WDW while they are still on, DO NOT MISS THEM. THEY ARE AWESOME. Saw them three times this past week.

@Robo has a map for viewing areas at the front of the park and along the walkway that leads to the Boardwalk/Epcot resorts. It's posted in other threads regarding Symphony in the Stars fireworks.

Good views along the plum-colored pathway inside the area that I shaded in green on the map below.

The music is what makes the fireworks awesome. I don't know if they pipe music in outside of the park.

The music can't be heard outside of the gates and in some areas of the park.

Some people have had success starting up a YouTube video when the fireworks begin to hear the audio.

On March 14 someone posted the fireworks would be at 9:30, but according to the Disney website park hours are only until 8. Does that mean the hours will more likely be extended? It also says Fantasmic is at 8:30 March 14. Will the fireworks be before or after the Fantasmic show? Is it possible to see both in one evening? Thank you so much!!

The park hours will be extended. If there is only 1 F! show, then I believe the fireworks would be before that. So, I think F! would be at 10 or 10:30pm. For instance tonight DHS is open until 8:30pm. F! is at 9pm, and the fireworks are at 8pm. If there are 2 F! shows, then it is sandwiched between them. 8pm seems early for a Spring Break closing time anyway. I bet it will be later. Last year on 3/18, DHS closed at 9:30pm. There were no fireworks at that time. We are doing the fireworks dessert party the following night, 3/15. It's scheduled for 8:30pm, which means the fireworks would be at 9:30pm. I think they might do two F! shows during that time, since the park is open so late.

soniam thanks so much for the information! I figured they would extend the hours, but I wasn't sure since we have only gone in October never March. Thanks again for the information!

This would be great. I will be there in March and I do not do Fantasmic anymore due to lack of back support/kills my low back!
