List of fireworks/opening shows

[Jasmineandrajah]

Does anyone have a link or list of all of the fireworks shows at all 4 parks? I'm having trouble scheduling around our evenings. It seems that some parks have more than one show at night? Also is MK the only park with a park-opening show? Sorry, first-timer here

The fireworks can change at different dates and times of year.

At DHS, look for "Star Wars Galactic Spectacular"
and "Fantasmic!" (which is much more than a "fireworks show.)
DHS Christmastime finds "Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM" fireworks, too.

MK has "Happily Ever After" fireworks.
Add to that a "projection show" Once Upon a Time.

Epcot runs IllumiNations at "park closing time" ("regular hours" closing)
which is most-often 9:00PM (9:30PM during Christmastime) nearly every night of the year.
That CAN change for special occasions.

DAK does not offer any fireworks, but there is a formal "evening spectacular" called
"Rivers of Light."

The only park with a "formal" opening show is MK.
That show takes place on the castle stage about 6 minutes before MK is scheduled to
OPEN ("regular hours open time") every day.

Thank you! I'll look up the times for my specific dates while planning!

Robo, you're confusing me. I thought Happily Ever After was the fireworks and Once Upon a Time was the projection. Help!

There are also a couple of minor events, like the Tree of Life Awakening, which runs periodically at Animal Kingdom and there is to be something similar added to the Hollywood Tower/Sunset Blvd. area at Hollywood Studios for the Holidays. They are just short little projection shows and they run several times each night. I probably wouldn't schedule around these, but if you are in that park at night you might stop and watch if you see them.

You're correct.

Thanks! I was wondering if I needed to plan around the AK one!

I'm going in March but it is not showing any Rivers of Light showings. Will that change?
