Disney Parks Going Dark After June 15 as Fireworks Halt

Beginning June 15, two Disney parks will lose their regular nightly fireworks show.

The affected parks are Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, where Sky Full of Colors is scheduled to enter an extended suspension.

Guests have until June 14 to see the show before the first closure begins.

The suspension will continue through September 14, removing the resort's standard fireworks offering throughout much of the summer season.

For many visitors, that means a very different nighttime experience than the one typically advertised in Disney vacation planning materials.

The closure is not limited to summer.

Sky Full of Colors is also scheduled to be suspended from September 25 through November 27.

Taken together, the two closure periods mean Tokyo Disney Resort will spend roughly five months of 2026 without its regular fireworks program.

The resort has followed a similar pattern in previous years, regularly suspending fireworks during parts of the summer.

Disney has not publicly announced a specific reason for this year's closure schedule.

What Will Replace the Fireworks?

Guests visiting during the first suspension period will still have access to some nighttime entertainment.

At Tokyo Disneyland, Reach for the Stars is expected to continue operating through September 14.

The projection-mapping show uses Cinderella Castle as its centerpiece and remains one of the resort's largest nighttime offerings.

That show, however, is also approaching a scheduled ending.

September 14 currently marks the final performance of Reach for the Stars.

As a result, guests visiting later in September could find themselves with significantly fewer nighttime entertainment options across the resort.

Seasonal offerings are expected to return later in the year.

Tokyo Disney Resort has traditionally replaced its standard fireworks show with Night High Halloween during the Halloween season.

The holiday season typically brings the return of Starbright Christmas, another seasonal fireworks offering that has become a staple of the resort's winter celebrations.

Until then, the countdown is underway.
