Sunday Spotlight: Fantasy in the Sky

Fireworks are a mainstay of entertainment at the Disneyland Resort. The original fireworks spectacular at Disneyland began after a request from Walt Disney himself. Fantasy in the Sky opened above the skies of the original magic kingdom in 1958. This classic show would continue in the summers and for special occasions at Disneyland until October 1999. In the last couple of decades, Fantasy in the Sky has been shown sporadically. Most recently, they were shown for Disney After Dark: Throwback Nite. They have also been presented around the world with different variations at different Disney Theme Parks through the years as well.
