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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
