Fireworks will once again light up the skies, with Tokyo Disney Resort announcing the return of “Disney Light the Night” at Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea. Nightly fireworks have been absent from the resort since January 2021.
‘Disney Light the Night’ Returns to Tokyo Disney Resort
There is nothing quite like a dramatic fireworks presentation to cap off a magical day at Tokyo Disney Resort. Since the opening of Tokyo Disneyland in 1983, fireworks have lit up the sky of Urayasu nightly, however, due to an increase in coronavirus cases in January 2021, it was announced that the fireworks would be glowing away until further notice.
Today, Tokyo Disney Resort announced that after 11 months, the nightly ‘Disney Light the Night’ fireworks presentation will once again illuminate the skies from 1st December 2021. The show takes place at 8 pm and can be viewed from both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. This comes when Tokyo Disney Resort is able to increase the capacity of their parks to 100%!
‘Disney Light the Night’ debuted on March 26, 2019, replacing the 35th Anniversary fireworks show. The whimsical fireworks presentation features a medley of familiar Disney movies including Peter Pan, Tangled, and Beauty and the Beast. We are delighted to see the return of this Disney tradition.
