Put on your Mouse Ears and get ready to experience the magic that only happens after dark! In this episode of the Mouse Ears Podcast, Steph, Kelton, and Brooks take you on a journey through Disney’s most iconic nighttime spectaculars — from the emotional fireworks of Happily Ever After to the awe-inspiring water effects of World of Color.
We’ll spotlight fan-favorite shows across Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, and even international parks like Tokyo DisneySea, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how Disney combines projection mapping, music, fountains, and fireworks to create unforgettable entertainment.
Plus, we’ll share insider tips for the best viewing spots, smart planning advice, and play a round of “This or That” to see where we stand on the great nighttime show debates (Fantasmic! vs World of Color, anyone?).
Whether you’re planning your next Disney trip or just missing the magic, this episode is your ultimate guide to Disney Parks’ after-dark entertainment.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
