Magical Mickey Mondays: Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks at Disneyland

It is Monday so we are linking up with another Magical Mickey with John at run.geek.rundisney and Katie from Adventures by Katie.


Over the weekend, I was able to get to Disneyland to see the Fantasy in the Sky fireworks. These are the fireworks right now until the 60th anniversary starts. I have already written about the fireworks that will be part of the
60th anniversary celebration and am so excited for that!

For some background, Fantasy in the Sky was started in 1958 by Walt himself as a way to keep people in the park late at night (fun fact: cast members used to shoot off the fireworks themselves!!) The show originally played until 1999. Since then, there have been a few other Disneyland fireworks shows but they have been on a broad scale with fireworks shooting off around the park and other interactive elements. 

Now I had heard these fireworks would be very short (5 min) and also not a big event and a bit boring. I had actually been referring them to as "bad fireworks" since it seemed silly to head down for a 5 min firework show. However, I was surprised. They were very short (which i don't think most people were thinking since usually they are 15 min or so) and very basic (everything right behind the castle, no tinkerbell flying, no shooting off anyone else) but the actual fireworks were awesome. 

They had my favorites (the ones that pop a few times and my new favorite of ones that explode and change colors). We walked right up at 9:22 and waited just 3 minutes for the show to start. They had a small intro and then had music from Cinderella, Mary Poppins, It's a Small World and Zip-a-dee-doo-dah. The pictures I got weren't the greatest as the castle wasn't lit up at all so it was almost impossible to get a pic of fireworks and the castle.

I would rather them have a short show like this then nothing at all! But i can't wait until the new firework show.

How cool you got to Disneyland just to see the fireworks. I think Disney puts on a great show. Better short than not at all like you said. Looking forward to the ones for Pixie dust challenge.

I do too. It was interesting to see what fireworks used to be like-simple and to the point versus what they are like now with wishes at MK and the now defunct remember at DL
