Overview
- Magic Kingdom, which closes to regular guests at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, will host a private SAP Sapphire & ASUG event with a Dave Matthews Band concert starting at 7:30 p.m.
- Nighttime entertainment including the Happily Ever After fireworks and the Disney Starlight parade, if performed, will be reserved for event attendees only.
- Concert infrastructure is in place around Cinderella Castle, with speaker towers, lighting rigs, trusses, and rolling planters altering views and routing near the hub.
- EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios remain open until 9 p.m. Wednesday, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom operates until 6 p.m., giving guests evening options outside Magic Kingdom.
- The tight two-hour turnover from park close to private start showcases Disney’s event playbook and is fueling discussion that more full-park corporate buyouts could follow.
