Disney World is kicking off its 50th-anniversary celebrations this week at the Orlando, Florida, theme park.
But even if you can't visit in person, you can still participate in two of the main events from home. At 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday night, Disney will host a livestream of its new "Harmonious" fireworks show from Epcot.
The stream is free, according to Disney, and will be broadcast via the Disney Parks Blog website.
"Harmonious" has been described by Disney's editorial content director Thomas Smith as "one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created for a Disney park."
It "pays tribute to the stories and songs that unite us all," and makes use of "new technical magic" like pyrotechnics, moving fountains, and more.
Magic Kingdom is also welcoming a new nighttime show this week, which Disney will broadcast for free via the Disney Parks Blog on Thursday.
Fans can tune into the website at 10:15 p.m. ET to watch "Disney Enchantment," a new show that features "Disney music, enhanced lighting, and immersive projection effects" that extend from Cinderella Castle to the front of Main Street, U.S.A.
Fans can also expect to hear a new song titled "You Are the Magic," according to the Disney Parks Blog, and see projections of characters and moments from "dozens of Disney and Pixar animated films."
"Through it all, we'll discover we only have to look within to find the power to believe and make dreams come true, because the magic was inside us all along," Smith wrote of the show.
