The Magic Kingdom is known for its world-class nighttime entertainment, but during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, the beloved Wishes fireworks show transforms into something even more magical—Holiday Wishes: Celebrate the Spirit of the Season.
This exclusive holiday display lights up the sky above Cinderella Castle, accompanied by a festive soundtrack featuring holiday classics like “Spirit of the Season.” A Tinker Bell flight adds extra Disney magic to the mix.
Prime Viewing and Tips
Most party nights in 2012 featured a single showing of Holiday Wishes at 9:30 p.m. While Main Street, U.S.A. is the most iconic and popular spot to view the show, there are other great locations—New Fantasyland offers some quieter areas, but nothing compares to the magic of Main Street with the castle lit up and snow falling all around you.
One of the show’s most breathtaking moments is the use of perimeter fireworks, creating a 360-degree experience. Whether you’re near Adventureland or Tomorrowland, fireworks fill the sky in every direction. It’s an unforgettable Disney “WOW” moment.
A Can’t-Miss Part of the Party
Holiday Wishes Fireworks is a major highlight of the Christmas party and should definitely be part of your evening plan. It bridges the magic of the parade and stage shows with a high-flying, emotionally uplifting finale.
