Momentous Nighttime Spectacular is a multimedia pyrotechnics show which debuted on June 18, 2022, at Hong Kong Disneyland. The live show contains fireworks, projection mapping, searchlights, lasers, fire performance & water fountains, as well as a variety of Disney music. Unlike its predecessor Disney In The Stars & We Love Mickey!, the show contains many other features complementing the newly constructed Castle of Magical Dreams. The show was originally expected to debut in 2020 for Hong Kong Disneyland's 15th anniversary celebration, however due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the park experienced closure and was postponed to 2022.
The show takes place 4-5 days every week for the first 2 weeks of its debut. Since the reopening after the COVID suspension, the show does not take place during Wednesdays. The show showcased advanced projections not seen before in its predecessors, as well as original music composed by Hong Kong Disneyland. The renovation of the castle was one of the main reasons the new show was designed, as the expansion plans of the park greatly improved the castle's function, including adding a stage & a water fountain area, which was used for other daytime shows such as Follow Your Dreams. With advanced projection mapping technology, the castle's front facing surface works as the projection display for various animations featuring Disney classics.

Momentous celebrates moments of hope, laughter, adventure and love - told through the songs and stories of favorite Disney films. Combined with pyrotechnics, fountains, lasers and other surprises, the night culminates with an iconic celebration of the Castle of Magical Dreams.
