'Happily Ever After' and 'Fantasmic' Showtimes Changing in Late August

Showtimes for Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom and Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will soon shift earlier in the day.

Happily Ever After Showtimes

Colorful fireworks explode above the Magic Kingdom's illuminated castle with vibrant projections, set against a night sky.

Currently performed at 10 p.m. nightly, Happily Ever After will shift to 9:30 p.m. performances beginning on August 31. The nighttime spectacular is scheduled for this time through at least September 19.

Note that Happily Ever After will not perform on dates with a Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Fantasmic! Showtimes

Fantasmic Moving to Earlier Performances in March 2026

Fantasmic! will continue to perform at 9 p.m. every day and 10:30 p.m. on Fridays and select Saturdays through August 22. Beginning on August 23, it will perform at 8:30 p.m. daily and 10 p.m. on Fridays, Sundays, and Tuesdays. From September 18, the 10 p.m. performances will move to 9:30 p.m.

These changes are standard for this time of year as the days get shorter. The shows may move to even earlier times as we get further into the fall and winter.
