As the Walt Disney World 50th anniversary celebrations come to a close we will be saying goodbye to the nighttime spectaculars at Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Though it won't be completely sad farewell as two shows will be returning.

Starting 3rd April, Magic Kingdom's Happily Ever After and Epcot Forever will be back lighting up the night's sky.

Happily Ever After was quick to become a fan favourite after it replaced the much loved Wishes nighttime show in 2017. During the 50th celebrations, Enchantment has lit up the sky across the most magical place on Earth, with the anniversary coming to a close so must Enchantment.

Over at Epcot, their nighttime show Harmonious will also be closing on 2nd April. The closure marks the return of Epcot Forever, a show which looks at nostalgically at the park's past but also excitedly into the future. The end of Harmonious also sees the departure of the large barges which were installed around Showcase Lagoon.

Both Happily Ever After and Epcot Forever will be back from 3rd April.
