The government determined that Disney is polluting the air too much and fireworks are a leading cause. Because of this, they are requiring Disneyland to ban all fireworks. This applies to full fireworks shows.
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.
