It’s important to note that the fireworks show called Disney Enchantment used to play exclusively at After Hours last year. However, this year, there is no mention of that show — only Happily Ever After! That’s the fan-favorite show anyway, but still an important change to note, and I’m sorry to all of the Enchantment fans out there.
