Disney Fireworks

Fantasy in the Sky

The sky over the Magic Kingdom's regal Cinderella Castle explodes with brilliant color at night in the traditional Disney fireworks display.

postmarked in 2008 with a 39 cent 'Lady and the Tramp' stamp

There is also a 'Main Street U.S.A. Magic Kingdom' postmark :)



some interesting info on the 'Fantasy in the Sky' fireworks show:
Walt Disney requested a fireworks show against the backdrop of Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in 1958, to keep guests at the park for longer hours and provide much needed night-time entertainment. The show was extremely popular, and became a vital component of the Disneyland experience. When the second Disney park, the Magic Kingdom, opened in Florida in 1971, it was only natural to duplicate the show there. The predecessors to Walt Disney Creative Entertainment, the company who create all the entertainment for Disney parks worldwide, were able to produce a much larger show with a bigger budget and more space to work with - Cinderella Castle is almost three times taller than its Californian cousin.
