Disney's Hollywood Studios conducted multiple fireworks tests overnight using a launch site across World Drive that has been largely unused since the end of the Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular show. [^1]

Fans reported on September 2, 2026, that the park launched the same firework four times at approximately 90-second intervals. [^2]

Periodic fireworks launches occurred from the site throughout the night, spaced out rather than presented as a continuous show. [^3]

Disney's Hollywood Studios is scheduled to host a private event connected to the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo on October 20, and the company has previously used fireworks for such functions. [^4]

The park currently lacks a regular nightly fireworks show, relying instead on Fantasmic! at the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater and Wonderful World of Animation, a projection show on the Chinese Theatre. [^5]

A second possibility is that the testing relates to bringing marquee fireworks back to the Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM show during this year's Jollywood Nights. [^6]
