Although crowd levels had been quite low — with Guests even walking onto some of Disney World’s most popular rides and attractions — an increasing number of visitors have found their way to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom as the 50th anniversary’s official October 1, 2021 start date approaches.

One of the big reasons people are visiting Magic Kingdom this week is to say goodbye to the popular Happily Ever After fireworks show over Cinderella Castle. Disney confirmed that the nighttime spectacular will be permanently retired to make way for the special 50th anniversary fireworks show, Disney Enchantment.

If the jam-packed crowds on Main Street, U.S.A. this week are any indication, Guests can expect Enchantment to draw a huge number of people, which could make some Disney World visitors uncomfortable with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Fortunately, there is a special way you and your travel party can privately welcome Disney Enchantment with no crowds — a Walt Disney World Resort fireworks cruise on Seven Seas Lagoon!
