A new nighttime spectacular, Disney Enchantment, made its debut on October 1, 2021, at Magic Kingdom. Created to launch with the World’s Most Magical Celebration, the show takes guests on a journey filled with adventure, wonder and empowerment, inspiring guests to believe in magic. Disney Enchantment features music, enhanced lighting, stunning fireworks and, for the first time, immersive projection effects that extend from Cinderella Castle down Main Street, U.S.A. Angela Basset (Black Panther, Disney Pixar Soul) narrates the show!
The last performance of Disney Enchantment will be on April 2, 2023.
This high-energy parade heads down Main Street, U.S.A. towards Cinderella Castle several times a day.

Harmonious made its debut on October 1, 2021, just in time for the launch of Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary and celebrates how Disney music inspires people around the world. The last performance of this fireworks spectacular will be April 2, 2023.
Harmonious is one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created and features music and images that were reimagined by diverse cultural musicians and artists from around the world.
This nighttime spectacular features massive floating set pieces, custom-built LED panels, choreographed moving fountains, lights, pyrotechnics, and lasers. The floating set pieces transform from fountains during the daylight hours and will become an integral part of the show at nighttime.
On April 3, 2023, “EPCOT Forever” returns as an interim show before an all-new fireworks spectacular debuts later in 2023.

Book a boat to take you out on World Showcase Lagoon for a private fireworks viewing!
This nightly "parade" was first performed on October 25, 1971 during the dedication of the Polynesian Luau. While old-fashioned by today's standards, it's still fun to head to the resort beachfronts to watch it go by. The water pageant can be seen from the boat-loading area at the Magic Kingdom, as well as all each resort around Bay Lake. It normally starts at 9:00 each night, but double-check the My Disney Experience app to be sure. There are two segments, one is a King Neptune theme, the other a salute to America.
New pixie dusted scenes are being added to this fan favorite nighttime water pageant, including a float representing Cinderella Castle. Guests will also hear an Electrical Water Pageant-like version of the 50th Anniversary’s theme song, The Magic is Calling. Guests who love current iteration of the Electrical Water Pageant will be happy to know that the full original show will still take place, with the additions “bookending” the pageant.
The Electrical Water Pageant usually follows this schedule:
- Disney's Polynesian Village Resort - beginning at 8:45 pm
- Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa (including Narcoossee's) - beginning at 9:00 pm
- Disney's Wilderness Lodge - beginning at 9:30 pm
- Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground - beginning at 9:45 pm
- Disney's Contemporary Resort - beginning at 10:00 pm
(You may want to check with the resort just in case the schedule changes or if it's canceled due to the weather that day.)
