Schedules for Fireworks, Parades and Fantasmic

[Meisha B]

I apologize if this has been asked and I've missed it. I haven't been on the boards in a while or to WDW in almost 2 years:crying:

I'm helping a friend do some planning and if I remember correctly, some things are not done every night such as Fantasmic, Illuminations, and the fireworks and parades in MK. If anyone knows the current schedule or where I can find one online, I'd appreciate it! She's going next month, so I assume/figure the schedule then will be the same as it is right now. She found a calendar with the schedule somewhere online, but neither of us is sure if it's a trustworthy source. When I was planning my 2 trips, I got more information here than any book or other website, so here I am:)

Thanks in advance!

Go to the main official Disney website (I use www.waltdisneyworld.com and it redirects me to the right place - I can never remember where the 'go' is in their actual address!)

Go to Parks in top ribbon, and select a Park (i.e., Magic Kingdom), and then under the big picture, on the left, there is a navigation option to calendar. Click on that.

Change the month, if necessary (right now you can view through October) - and then click on the individual day of interest. It will give you the schedule for many entertainment options, including fireworks, parades and nighttime spectaculars. It also lists Extra Magic Hours. And then you can 'click through' for the whole vacation.

Illuminations is every night, though, FYI. Fireworks, night time parades, and Fantasmic may not be every night, though.

Also, I hope she's made any 'must do' ADRs - or that she's going to be happy doing counter service!

Thanks!! I'll send her in that direction. She was only seering the EMH calendar. Thankfully, she's booked some "must do" ADRs. She's still hoping for an opening in one or two other places, but overall her meals are pretty set. Thank you VERY much!

Also give Steve Soares' website www.wdwent.com to your friend. He has a lot of the not published entertainment listed which is great for your friend to know so she can get her family over to the location and have them be surprised. I think a great surprise would be catching Divine over in Animal Kingdom.

We saw her in August along one of the back trails leading away from Expedition Everest.

Another bit of entertainment WDW stole from DLR.

Actually, Divine was at Animal Kingdom before DCA opened.
