Disney fans who thought they’d seen the last of Disney Enchantment are in for a sparkling surprise. The nighttime spectacular is officially set to return exclusively for Disney After Hours events at Magic Kingdom in 2026.

Originally debuting on October 1, 2021, as part of Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, Disney Enchantment lit up the skies with a dazzling mix of fireworks, projections, and music. Its initial run ended in April 2023 when fan-favorite Happily Ever After reclaimed its spot as Magic Kingdom’s nightly fireworks show.
But Disney wasn’t quite ready to let the magic fade away. Enchantment has been making encore appearances at Disney After Hours, a separately ticketed event that offers limited crowds, reduced wait times, and plenty of snacks. Now, Disney has confirmed that it will once again return in 2026, keeping the celebration alive for After Hours guests.
According to the official Disney After Hours page: “Feast your eyes on the returning nighttime fireworks spectacular Disney Enchantment—available exclusively during Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom Park.”
The best part? Guests with After Hours tickets won’t have to choose between the shows. You’ll still be able to enjoy Happily Ever After before the park closes to day guests, then stick around for the late-night performance of Disney Enchantment. After Hours ticket holders can enter the park as early as 7 p.m., with the exclusive event running from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Along with the fireworks double feature, After Hours guests will have access to special character meet and greets, complimentary popcorn and ice cream novelties, and plenty of low-wait attractions throughout the park.
If fireworks are your happily ever after, 2026 is shaping up to be extra magical.
