That’s not a Star Wars reference.
Longtime readers of my trip reports know Star Wars isn’t my thing (although I immensely enjoy Rise of the Resistance.)
Fireworks are my thing.
Like a moth to a flame, I am instinctively drawn to bursts of brilliant sparkles and colors in the sky. Just ask my family how quickly I’ve stopped whatever I’m doing to find the source of nighttime booms! I have serious fireworks FOMO.
Disney fireworks....especially Magic Kingdom fireworks....always flood me with nostalgia, happy memories and hope. After a long pandemic year, I know I am not alone in my yearning for hope of better days ahead.
Every step we take
Brings a new hope
A new day
The return of Disney fireworks, for me, is a sign that things are improving. Hooray!!
But there won’t be any pyro on my upcoming trip. And that’s ok. This vacation was booked with the assumption there would be no nighttime entertainment. (However when rumors began to suggest fireworks in July…..well let’s just say there might be another reservation in MDE for us.)
Who’s us?
Mother/daughter travel buddies, Tuvalu and Em. We last visited together in early April. We were there the day the mask mandate was dropped for stationary pictures.
Today the mask mandate for all those vaccinated has been suspended and we couldn’t be happier! We won’t have to be shrouded in a daft disguise again this summer!
I am not planning to do a full live report but may post a daily update. I’ll fill in the details when our vacation is over.
T-minus 3 days.

Will any other Magicians make an appearance? Stay tuned.

Thank you for sharing your lovely memories of him with us!
I loved the beautiful tribute you wrote for your Dad which truly warmed my heart reading it. He sounded like a wonderful family man. I lost my beloved father in July and helped care for him also. The incredible memories we shared together have carried me through these last few months. Enjoy your time in WDW and use that time to decompress and let the memories that you shared with your Dad at your happy place fill your soul. My DH and I will be arriving at WDW on 10/24, so if you're still around, message me if you have time to say hello.
