Do they generally continue with the fireworks even if it's possible for rain?” Hi Judith, Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. In general, most rides, attractions and entertainment continue at Walt Disney World, rain or shine.

Yes, Disney parks will generally continue with firework shows during light to moderate rain. The high-tech pyrotechnics used today are designed to launch even in wet conditions. However, the show is susceptible to wind and lightning. If there is lightning within a certain radius or if winds are blowing in a direction that could carry embers toward guest areas or backstage buildings, the show will be delayed or canceled for safety. In 2026, many shows like "Happily Ever After" (Florida) or "Sky Full of Colors" (Tokyo) rely heavily on projections and lasers; these often proceed even if the actual fireworks are scaled back. If a show is canceled due to severe weather, Disney rarely offers a "rain check" or refund, as it is considered an outdoor entertainment offering. If the rain is heavy but there is no lightning, the show usually goes on, though the smoke can "hang" in the humid air, sometimes making the colors look a bit more muted through the mist.
