Does Hollywood Studios have a firework show at night?

And, in fact, at some of the parks, your nighttime entertainment is quite limited. The only 2 parks with full firework shows are Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Hollywood Studios has shows that incorporate a few firework elements, but because of the animals, Animal Kingdom has no fireworks.



In 2026, Disney's Hollywood Studios continues to offer spectacular nighttime entertainment, though its primary focus is on immersive projection and pyrotechnic hybrids rather than traditional "sky-high" fireworks like those at Magic Kingdom. The cornerstone of the park's nighttime lineup is Fantasmic!, an elaborate 29-minute show featuring Mickey Mouse, live performers, water projections, and significant pyrotechnic effects in a dedicated amphitheater. Additionally, the park frequently features "Wonderful World of Animation," a projection show on the Chinese Theatre that incorporates smaller firework bursts and laser effects. During special events, such as Disney After Hours or the holiday season, the park often debuts limited-run shows like "Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!" which utilize more traditional fireworks. While the park does not have a "fireworks-only" show, the integration of fire, water, and light creates a diverse nighttime atmosphere that many guests find more engaging than a standard aerial display, particularly with the added thematic depth of Star Wars and classic Disney animation.

Evening At Hollywood Studios The earlier showtime typically has the advantage of lower crowds, but you often won't be able to do any rides after it, effectively shortening your day. The later showtime will have higher crowds, which means you'll want to be in line at least 30 minutes early.

Hollywood Studios After Hours Unlike Early Theme Park Entry, this is not a perk offered to certain guests, but is instead a ticketed event held on select evenings. We reviewed Hollywood Studios After Hours here. When it occurs, After Hours allows ticketed guests access to the park from 7PM to 3 hours after park close.

If you are trying to take advantage of everything Hollywood Studios has to offer we recommend arriving 45 minutes – an hour before normal scheduled park opening.

If you have an After Hours ticket for Magic Kingdom, you'll be able to enter the park with just your event ticket starting at 7:00 PM. If possible, we highly recommend you do that because that means you'll have 3 hours before the event officially begins to enjoy a few rides and, more importantly, catch the fireworks.
