A breakdown of the Disneyland Forever fireworks at Disneyland

The “Disneyland Forever” fireworks has returned to Disneyland. Originally debuting in 2015 for the Disneyland Resort 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration, “Disneyland Forever” fireworks spectacular features sparkling pyrotechnics, immersive projections and special effects that envelop guests.

Audiences gathered on Main Street, U.S.A., in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, near “it’s a small world,” around the Rivers of America and within sight of the Matterhorn each have a different experience of the show.

From April 22 to late spring, “Disneyland Forever” will perform Fridays through Sundays, and the “Mickey’s Mix Magic” projections-only show is scheduled Mondays through Thursdays. “Disneyland Forever” fireworks will then run nightly in the summer.

Here are four fun facts to now about the spectacular:

1. 17 projectors help immerse audiences into imaginative surroundings on Main Street, U.S.A. More than 26 video projectors are used parkwide.

2. 30 inflatable units and multiple moving window actuators help create an immersive environment on Main Street, U.S.A.

3. Disney Legend Richard M. Sherman composed the song, “A Kiss Goodnight,” which plays at the conclusion of “Disneyland Forever.” The title is a reference to Walt Disney’s feeling that nighttime fireworks provided guests with, as Sherman recalls, “a little kiss goodnight” after a day in the park.

4. The show’s anthem, “Live the Magic,” was created by composers Adam Watts and Andy Dodd. Their collaborative credits include work on Disney’s smash “High School Musical,” along with songs for other top artists.

Here’s a breakdown of the show:

• The show starts with the inspirational words of Walt Disney himself. Then Peter Pan appears and Tinker Bell sprinkles her pixie dust to awaken the “magic” of the Magic Kingdom.
• The worlds of Mary Poppins and Rapunzel (“Tangled”) come to life before our eyes.
• Playful music and warm-hearted colors reveal the honey-loving enchanted world of Winnie the Pooh. Pooh takes us into his kaleidoscopic dream of Heffalumps and Woozles.
• The blazing sun of the African pride lands summons the wild creatures of “The Lion King” and Simba’s colorful world. Marching elephants and swinging monkeys lead us into the frenzy of a scene from “The Jungle Book.”
• Lightning, thunder and undulating waves take us “Under the Sea,” where Sebastian and Ariel’s world of frolicking fish and singing crustaceans love to entertain. Bubbles float us upward to find Nemo, who is about to embark on a new challenge. “Disneyland Forever” is the first Disney fireworks show to feature a character “swimming” across the skies above Sleeping Beauty Castle.
• Nemo swims away as snow falls and ice crackles. Queen Elsa’s “Frozen” touch takes over, creating a dazzling ice palace before our eyes.
• The icy creations melt away, leaving only the magic of sparkling stars. Tinker Bell returns, enchants the starlight and ignites the power of our imagination to create the finale – a magical brilliance that lights the sky.
