Orlando Fireworks Guide
It doesn’t have to be New Year’s Eve or July 4th for Orlando theme parks to light up the night sky. Both Walt Disney World ® and Universal Orlando offer some pretty amazing fireworks displays all year long, and because watching the blues, greens, reds and purples burst and explode into the night sky make every evening even more magical here’s our guide to Orlando theme park’s best fireworks:

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth at Epcot ® is one of the most elaborate fireworks display in all of Central Florida. A 14-minute production combining mesmerizing fireworks, lasers and a water show with an incredible musical score, IllumiNations brings together the past, present and future of our planet and its colorful nations. Guests to Epcot can see the explosive show nightly at any vantage point throughout the World Showcase.

For the biggest and brightest fireworks display in Magic Kingdom ®, check out Wishes Nighttime Spectacular. Hosted by the famous Jiminy Cricket, guests will enjoy a fantastical tale written in the sky about Pinocchio, Cinderella, Ariel, Peter Pan and other beloved Disney ® characters. Wishes Nighttime Spectacular is also accompanied by a rousing musical score synched with fireworks, pyrotechnics and special effects making for one spectacular show. You can catch Wishes Nighttime Spectacular nightly at Magic Kingdom ®.

Re-opening Feb. 13 after refurbishments, Fantasmic! At Disney’s Hollywood Studios ™ is a breathtaking 25-minute fireworks and water show that brings together all of your favorite Disney ® characters, in one fantasmic display! Join Mickey Mouse as he transforms into the Sorcerer’s Apprentice and summons the characters of such Disney ® classics as Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Aladdin, Pinocchio, The Lion King, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Dumbo, Tarzan and more to help him fight off classic Disney ® villains such as Ursula, Scar, Jafar, Maleficent and more. Mickey’s power of imagination saves the day and results in a lavish musical extravaganza with explosive pyrotechnics, shimmering laser lights, and dancing water effects coupled with beloved Disney ® songs. Stay tuned for more details on Fantasmic!’s return.

Universal Orlando is adding its own nighttime fireworks display this spring with “Cinematic Spectacular.” Narrated by award-winning actor and recent Golden Globe - Cecil B. DeMille honoree, Morgan Freeman, Universal Orlando's new nighttime spectacular will celebrate the studio’s most iconic films with powerful scenes projected on water screens. Guests can expect to see classic scenes from E.T., Jaws and other popular Universal films surrounded by 50 colored fountains, an intense musical score and of course pyrotechnics. The new show will be available for your viewing pleasure this spring, will run all summer and then on select nights through the end of the year.
