A new nighttime spectacular, “Disney Enchantment,” will help kick off the 50th anniversary festivities when it debuts Oct. 1 at Magic Kingdom Park.

If you are a huge Disney Parks fan and you follow Disney Park news, the idea of projections on Main Street, U.S.A., likely sounds pretty familiar to you. That’s because it is! Disney fans are familiar with projections on the buildings of Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland Park.

Over on the west coast, the Disneyland Resort fireworks shows nowadays include immersive projections on several Park landmarks, including Main Street, U.S.A., “it’s a small world,” the Matterhorn, and of course Sleeping Beauty Castle. Many fans love switching up their go-to firework viewing spot in order to see the various projections. Disneyland Forever, introduced for Disneyland Resort’s 60th anniversary in 2015, brought to life beloved Disney stories, and the projections were part of that.

Now that Magic Kingdom is introducing projections to Main Street, U.S.A., as part of the new firework show coming for the 50th anniversary, it looks like fireworks at Walt Disney World are going to really level up.
