ICYMI: Happily Ever After From The Contemporary With MagicalNewsLIVE
The Cast Member preview sends CMs home “Happily Ever After” fireworks…
There’s not much better than to see fireworks over the Magic Kingdom.
So, after an afternoon of dodging raindrops but giving us superior views of the park, MagicalNewsLIVE headed to the 15th floor of the Contemporary Resort. There, with music piped in, we got a spectacular session of pyrotechnics over WDW.
“Happily Ever After” returned to the Magic Kingdom and the Cast Member preview went off without a hitch.

But the castle is still so beautiful.

And the finale felt earned, not only by the Cast Members who enjoyed the preview but by all of us watching from afar.
But don’t take my “words” for it. Nick caught this all on video, and my screenshots don’t do the evening or “Happily Ever After” justice.
