What The Notice Says
The notice tells guests they may hear sporadic fireworks overnight due to routine testing. The testing is scheduled to take place between 10:00pm on Sept. 1 through 1:30am on Sept. 2. It closes with an apology for what it calls “this late-night inconvenience.”
FIREWORKS NOTIFICATION
Beginning at 10:00pm on Tuesday, September 1 through 1:30am on Wednesday, September 2, Guests may hear sporadic fireworks due to routine testing.
We apologize for this late-night inconvenience.
Disney periodically tests fireworks overnight once parks have closed for the night. Crews use these windows to check pyrotechnic elements, timing, or new effects without affecting daytime park operations. Tonight’s window runs well past midnight, giving crews roughly three and a half hours to complete the work.
What To Expect
Guests staying at EPCOT area resorts, including those along Crescent Lake and the BoardWalk, are the most likely to hear the testing. Their proximity to World Showcase Lagoon puts them closest to the action. Disney’s use of the word sporadic suggests intermittent bursts of noise, not a continuous, full-length show running the entire window.
The notice does not identify which show or specific effects crews are testing.
