D23 Gold Theater Presents: Magic After Dark – The Story of Disney’s Nighttime Spectaculars. We were at this panel during the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in 2024. Reliving the past Disney Fireworks Nighttime Spectaculars was nostalgic, and the background and stories behind them had us enthralled. Hoping we could relive those nights at Epcot watching Illuminations, or hanging out in the Magic Kingdom watching Spectromagic and Wishes.
Do you remember the first time you witnessed Tinker Bell flying? Watching the Earth become a video screen? Did you see LASERPHONIC Fantasy? Relive these moments and more! Here is a YouTube video from the panel. It is just a highlight of what you will experience during “Magic After Dark: The Story of Disney’s Nighttime Spectaculars”!
D23 Gold Members are invited to a dazzling evening at the virtual D23 Gold Theater during “Magic After Dark: The Story of Disney’s Nighttime Spectaculars”!
The nighttime spectaculars at Disney Parks have created treasured memories for guests for decades, providing their “kiss goodnight” after a day of Disney fun. In this D23 Gold Theater presentation, hosts Jessica McDonald from D23 and producer and Disney author Graham Allen look back at the fan-favorite “Magic After Dark” panel from D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event last August.
The panel featured Steven Davison, Jennifer Magill, and Don Dorsey, who have all worked on some of your favorite nighttime shows past and present! Our hosts will also take a peek at what’s to come, as they give fans an exclusive look at new shows bringing the night to life this summer at Disneyland and Walt Disney World!
