Magic Kingdom is ringing in 2025 with the annual fireworks spectacular, “Fantasy in the Sky” for New Year’s Eve. We were there to see both performances on Monday, December 30, 2024.

Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks for New Year’s Eve 2025

A colorful fireworks display creates a fantasy in the sky as it illuminates a fairy tale castle at night, with crowds gathered below taking photos.

“Fantasy in the Sky” is a version of the first-ever Disneyland fireworks show that originally debuted in 1958. It performs for New Years Eve at Disneyland also, on December 31 only.

Fireworks burst in a fantasy in the sky above a castle, with "Happy New Year" projected on its walls, enchanting a crowd capturing the magical moment.

The fireworks show runs approximately 10 minutes and was performed at 6:30 p.m. and 11:50 p.m. on December 30. Guests visiting on December 31, New Year’s Eve, will get to enjoy the show at those same times.

After dancing the night away at the park’s parties, Mickey and his friends came out on the Cinderella Castle stage to introduce the 11:50 p.m. fireworks. They will presumably come out before the 11:50 p.m. fireworks on December 31, too.
