Magic Monday : Fireworks Shows at Disney

8 Jul
Spread the love
Tweet

Ok, I’m a sap, but seriously, I cry every time I see the castle for the first time on our visits, AND at every Disney fireworks show.  To this day, if I watch Wishes, which was my favorite ever show on YouTube, I cry while watching it.  There’s something extra magical about the fireworks at Disney.  Maybe it’s because they incorporate the video, maybe it’s because they make Tink fly, maybe it’s the incredible music, or maybe, just maybe, it’s because you are at the Happiest Place on Earth.

And I think Ella enjoys them too – check out her excitement as we walked to a fireworks show on our last trip!

And after watching quite a few fireworks shows this weekend, I thought it would be fun to share all the shows at Disney!

We’ve been a couple times now and my favorites are usually at Magic Kingdom.  However, all the parks have their own displays and none are short on charisma and charm!

Happily Ever After (current): Magic Kingdom

While Wishes will probably ALWAYS be my favorite Disney fireworks show, I’m pretty pleased with it’s replacement. Wishes set a really high standard and how could any show really REPLACE that?!  Well, Happily Ever After is a beautiful display of projections, and fully shows the magic that is Disney.

A full package display including music, character, fireworks, and lasers all perfectly timed!   Happily Ever After is Disney at its best. And of course it will bring out the emotions for any Disney fanatic, or even those who aren’t!

Runs 18 min.

Illuminations (current? retired?): Epcot

Illuminations at Epcot opened in 1999.  It’s still a great show, but it’s ready for a refresh.  We missed it the first time we visited as a family.  It takes place at the World Showcase Lagoon at closing.  It’s almost impossible to have a bad spot, unless you get stuck behind a lamp post or kiosk.  Every country gets involved in the show as each pavilion gets its own chance to shine during portions of the show while the show conveys a message of world unity.

Runs 12 min.

Fantasmic!: Hollywood Studios


Opening in 1998, Fantasmic! definitely is a full length Walt Disney World nighttime show. It tells a story as we enter Mickey’s dreams and nightmares where Mickey explores many different obstacles.   You’ll find many villians around the middle, but of course, Mickey triumphs in the end.  The best parts of Fantasmic are the fact that it incorporates a lot of old fvoarites.  It runs about an hour long, so be prepared to invest that time in it, but it’s well worth it!  The water sprays with images on them, the glow in the dark boats, the music!

Runs 30 min

Rivers of Light: Animal Kingdom


Rivers of Light is not a favorite, but it’s still a great nighttime show that was much overdue for Animal Kingdom.  The fact that it’s a NEW show gives it a little bit of edge, but there’s still much to be desired from this show according to many.  I’ve heard some of the water projections are really beautiful and while we did skip it last time we were there, I’ve heard there’s been a few changes and can’t wait to get back and check out the show!

Runs 30 min

Star Wars: Hollywood Studios

For those of you who are Star Wars fans, this show is one not to miss!   Sharing highlights from all the major films and booming Star Wars music and set on the facade of the Chinese Theater, it’s sure to become a favorite!  So many things to take in among the video projections like lasers, fireworks, and explosions!

While this is one of the most intense shows on property, it’s still amazing!  Just make sure to know it can be loud for the littles.  And even if you aren’t a fan of the Star Wars Empire, I’ve heard you will still enjoy the show!  We chose to go to Fantasmic over this show because it’s a fave and will most likely be retired soon so we didn’t want to miss out, BUT with that being said you could see and hear the Star Wars show as we were walking out and it looked awesome!

Runs 14 minutes

So there you have it!  A quick recap (and links) to the fireworks shows that you can find around Disney parks!  Which is your favorite?!  New or old?!

A little about me…

Hey There! I'm Abby. Some people started calling me "Little Miss Martha" a few years back and this blog followed. I started it to share my DIY wedding progress, but it's now evolved to include other good things. Read More…

Pretty excited for the final reveal of the @oneroo Pretty excited for the final reveal of the @oneroomchallenge this week!  While it was planned to be shared on Wednesday, we are supposed to have storms for the next couple days so I think I’ll plan for a Saturday reveal!  Which will also allow us a little more time to finish a last project (maybe)… But that reminded me that I forgot to share that my week 7 recap was up on the blog! 

So pop over there (#linkinmybio) to  read all about how far we’ve come and keep an eye out for other shares in stories!  And until the final reveal, enjoy this view… I know I am!

I’ll forever miss this little book from the old I’ll forever miss this little book from the old house… I continue to try to figure out where to put this chair in the new one, but I feel it’s true home will be in the basement… even after it’s finished… if that ever happens 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Do you all have a piece of furniture that you just can’t figure out where to go?! First, don’t be afraid to move things around (all. The. Time.). It’s ok!  But second, don’t force it… sometimes it takes time to realize the perfect place for something.

Back at it with the backyard! We finally moved th Back at it with the backyard!  We finally moved the table out of the garage! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 This @oneroomchallenge is fun, fulfilling, and exhausting but I can’t wait to see the final space!  Only 2 weeks left and still so much to do! 

This week we moved the table, created and planted some gardens, made some diy faux cement mushrooms, and put together new Adirondack chairs!  It didn’t feel like much progress until I wrote it all down! 

Check out all the #week6 #oneroomchallenge details on the blog today!  And make sure to catch the ORC highlight to see all we’ve done!

Over the last few weeks, we have been singing “T Over the last few weeks, we have been singing “The Neverending Story” song at our house (thanks Stranger Things) and it’s funny how that song relates to how this project feels like it is going! 🤪 It feels neverending over here!  Not many new big updates for the @oneroomchallenge @apartmenttherapy #oneroomchallenge but once again small strides mean progress in the end! 

While we are still trying to figure out what to do about the color of the table, we added the beginnings of landscape beds and even a new garden bed!  I’ve been to @loweshomeimprovement more than I’d like to admit in the last week 🤦‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

But read about all the updates on the blog today — I’m also gearing up for table staining/painting, garden details, lighting updates, and a couple other {hopefully} quick DIYS!  3 weeks to go!

I remember when the pandemic first started I thoug I remember when the pandemic first started I thought, why not try a garden. We had a really dinky little guy that housed lettuce, cucumber, and some tomatoes that just wouldn’t grow.  And I basically forgot about it midway through the summer 🤣🤦‍♀️

This year we are a little more settled and I am ready to this task once tackle again… We added garden beds to the @oneroomchallenge @apartmenttherapy backyard makeover we are doing and I think they are going to be perfect! 

Do you garden?! What’s your favorite thing to grow?  For me, there’s just something about having your own lettuce for a quick lunch salad!  Yum!!! 

More updates tomorrow!

We are back at it with a week 4️⃣ @oneroomchal We are back at it with a week 4️⃣ @oneroomchallenge update on the blog today!  #linkinmybio This week felt like a lull of not much progress because of the weather but hopefully that’s changing! 

I’m heading out again today to grab landscaping things and florals for planters because I’m pretty sure we are in the clear for no more frosts and freezes! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I went earlier in the week to @menards for the remaining lumber we needed and had to wear a winter coat! I hope we’ve finally crossed into true spring! 

Check out highlights & stories to see previous weeks updates AND a table preview!  @emukel20 has done an amazing job and I think it’s going to be beautiful!  Now to find chairs so we can actually sit at it! 🤣

Do you ever plan something in your head where your Do you ever plan something in your head where your children will be involved and then when it gets down to it you’re the only one doing the project?  Well that was me last night… 

Every Earth Day rolls around and I always want to make seed paper or flower bombs so I finally did it. While I thought it would be a great project to involve the kids on, they were over it by the time I got to it last night. So this exhausted, tired momma rolled these little seed bombs as the sun was setting! 

I’m actually thinking I might make some more and use in my landscaping/garden/flower pots for the @oneroomchallenge! 🌻 I already have plans to pass these out to teachers and neighbors! 

I shared the details on this easy DIY for the birds, bees, and butterflies, along with a cute little printable on the blog #linkinmybio!  How will you celebrate #earthday2022 🌎?

This whole @oneroomchallenge thing really keeps yo This whole @oneroomchallenge thing really keeps you on your toes!  It’s week 3 and we’ve gotten some furniture in and put together and we are making small strides! 

At the moment I’m still #scotchgarding all 10 cushions — I’m about 3 in still… And Mike’s in the garage building me a table (while being distracted building things for himself too🤦‍♀️)! While it doesn’t feel like much, I just keep saying there’s 5 weeks left, you are doing great, but yes, you’ve got a lot to do!

You can read all about every week of the #oneroomchallenge on their blog and follow my progress on my blog too!  Hellomissmartha.com 
✨Plus you can check out the highlight reel on this profile too! 

Oh and after I put all this out last night, of course we had wind gusts of 40mph so swipe to see what I woke up to 🤦‍♀️

Do you have a family calendar? Or prefer to work Do you have a family calendar?  Or prefer to work off an individual planner? Or maybe you are all digital?!! Let’s talk calendars!  This was one of the first purchases I made for this house and I still love it!  The customization is so fun and I love its look! 

It’s my keeper of all things…
-dates
-holidays
-appointments
-lists
-random things I’ll need to know again but don’t want to have to measure for the 5000 time 
-birthday parties
-wine nights
You get the point! 

And it works so well in here… well, that is when I actually update it timely - seeing as I changed/updated this month on April 18th 🤣 So this little space acts as our little family hub!

Can we just talk about how much energy it takes to Can we just talk about how much energy it takes to talk yourself into working out?! Or am I alone in this one?!

One of my goals for the year is to find myself again - mentally and physically!  My@body probably will never be the same as it was a long while ago before kids and adulting… but it’s time to at least try to get to a place where I can come to peace with how I look and how I feel.  We are the givers of everything we have and it definitely takes its toll. Today on the blog I shared 3 steps I’ve been taking to try to make some progress in the self/body confidence area. 

While it feels like it’s going to take forgery, I do see small wins here and there. Like today, I ran for the first time in almost 3 weeks and I didn’t feel completely out of it! 🏃‍♀️🙌🏻 But that said, aside from the steps, I also shared what I currently have in our somewhat chaotic home gym which also leaves so excuses for me anymore!  Swipe to see!

We did it! We officially made it to Friday (Thank We did it!  We officially made it to Friday (Thank God) and the patio is in!  This is one of the bigger purchases I’ve made aside from buying cars and houses… and let me tell you, it was stressful. Something so permanent really messed with my head - the design, the plans, the contractor, the process… it all stressed me out! 

What big purchases have you made that stress you out?! Can you relate?! 

I shared most of the details on the blog #linkinmybio as a part of my week 2 post for the #oneroomchallenge but I’m just glad it’s in and over. And now onto the fun part… decor & furnishings!  Check back for week 3 updates sometime next week!  And I’ll be saving all #ORC posts to a highlight reel for easy access!

This week has been spent thinking of warmer weathe This week has been spent thinking of warmer weather and dreaming of the beach. How did you all spend your spring break?! 

Even though we didn’t go anywhere this time around, I got my beach vibes in from binging Beach Hunters on @hgtv and going through old vacation and styled shoot photos like these... This #winonalake shoot had all the waterfront feels! 

I also finalized most of my plans for the backyard update and submitted my post for week 1 of the @oneroomchallenge!  Swipe for the outdoor decor plan!  Pretty excited to move forward over the next 8 weeks with this project!

It feels really good to get back in a normal groov It feels really good to get back in a normal groove… even if that means that the coughs and sniffles are back too!  One of those back to normal things is the Gnome Away From Home exhibit at @garfieldparkindy #conservatory!  This is an event that we look forward to each year!  Olive has been going her whole life 🤣! 

Have you been to see the gnomes?! You can read more about it on the blog today but it’s a fun thing to do over spring break and it ends this weekend! 

Plus, if the weather is cooperating, explore the children’s garden and sunken gardens too!

As it starts to get cold-ish here again (because i As it starts to get cold-ish here again (because it’s Indiana 🤦‍♀️), I’m dreaming of vacations we should or could take soon!  Our friend Kevin just got this gorgeous #bigbearcalifornia property that he’s calling the @oakandpinechalet and it’s giving me all the vacay feels!  And lucky for everyone, it’s available for vacation rentals through @airbnb when he and his kids aren’t soaking in all the beauty that is Big Bear! 

Would it top my list?! Absolutely!  Look at those views of the lake and mountains and HELLO fireplace!  Oh and take a load off while staying cozy and taking in all views from the recently added @nordicsauna 😍😍😍

But since we are now drooling over an amazing AirBNB, what are some top spots on your vacation bucket list?!

Shout out to my two favorite boogers around who al Shout out to my two favorite boogers around who always come along with me to my passion projects because well, they usually have to!  Today they helped clean up, grab florals, and Olive wheeled out the table (on a wagon) all by herself!  They are usually the best helpers I could ask for!  Usually… when they aren’t fighting like the sisters that they are 😆👯‍♀️👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

As a kid I remember tagging along to side jobs and odd jobs with our parents and it’s one of those things my siblings and I still reminisce and remember today. And while I know my parents didn’t love all the jobs they were doing, I do think it showed us what it was to hustle and work hard. 

Hopefully by dragging these girls to my tablescaping and other opportunity events {Ella used to live at the @maevevintage warehouse when we did Vintage Rentals #thegoodoledays } — Maybe they’ll realize when there is something find that they really enjoy, it’s ok to chase that dream… no matter how little or how much time it takes up! 

What’s your passion project?! Do you have one?!
