Magical: A Nighttime Spectacular of Magical Celebrations was a 2009–2014 summer fireworks show at Disneyland.[1] Produced by Walt Disney Creative Entertainment, the show featured recorded music and dialogue, fireworks, lower level pyrotechnics, 10k spotlights, and gobo projections via Vari-Lite 3000 Spot fixtures housed in enclosures on Sleeping Beauty Castle and the Matterhorn. The show's main musical theme was an adapted rendition of the main theme from Tokyo Disneyland's It's Magical 10th Anniversary Castle Show and Epcot Center's Splashtacular. Magical was intended as a replacement for Remember... Dreams Come True and as a nighttime entertainment offering for Disneyland's Summer Nightastic promotion, but mainly for the 55th anniversary of Disneyland in 2010.

The music played during the opening and finale originated from It's Magical, Tokyo Disneyland's 10th Anniversary Castle Show and Epcot Center's Splashtacular. The show featured vocal performances by Eden Espinosa, an Anaheim native and a former Disneyland cast performer.[2]
