It all depends on the weather. I know if there's rain/lightning/thunderstorm then Tink does not fly down. This was the case for a couple nights during our June stay in 04.

Since July of 1985, Tinker Bell has flown nearly every night from atop Cinderella Castle to a rooftop in Tomorrowland.
The truth is, when it is rainy outside, the parks will be a lot less busy. So if you can handle it, you will often find that you can get a lot done during a storm. But, if you prefer to stay totally out of the rain, there are other things you can do on property that are still a lot of fun.
Everything is more spread out, so you'd be caught longer in the rain. Based on the usual summer forecast, we'd recommend a plan that includes visiting Animal Kingdom in the morning and EPCOT in the afternoon. Magic Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios each have a fair amount of indoor attractions.
While these rules seem extreme, they're put in place for a reason: to keep things as magical as possible for guests. The pay is awesome. It's rumored that Tink gets paid around $500 per flight across the Magic Kingdom's sky, which isn't bad for 30 seconds of work, if you ask us.
At Disney World, Tinkerbell flies every night there are fireworks — which will hit the sky all this week at 10 p.m. Besides during the summer, “Fantasy in the Sky” is presented every night the park is open late and during holiday-season shows.
A light drizzle is best as it keeps the ground moist and therefore decreases the chance of a fire starting. Heavy rain can be very bad for a fireworks show as it could lead to the fuses of the fireworks becoming wet and consequently unable to launch.
That said, don't expect Magic Kingdom or Disney Springs to be ghost towns just because of a few rain showers. Many guests will simply take their fun inside instead by going on some dark rides, seeing a show or getting something to eat.
Instead of seeing Tinkerbell fly over the park as part of the evening fireworks, we're about to get Baymax. Wondrous Journeys is the name of the brand new nighttime spectacular that will begin at Disneyland park on January 27, 2023. Today we learned a bit more about what the show will entail.
What is this? The show must go on, and even when it is rainy, Disney World is open. Now, of course if Disney does happen to close for a weather event (like a hurricane) they will issue refunds then. But, if it is just a rainy day at Disney, the parks will remain open and no rain checks or refunds will be given.
