The show also had performances on May 27 and 28 before the actual opening date. Due to inclement weather that evening, a majority of the fireworks were not produced. This is the first time for this technology to be used in an entertainment program at Tokyo Disney Resort. This nighttime entertainment uses projection mapping technology to produce a three-dimensional effect by projecting images in a way that fits the contours of buildings and other structures. In October 2013, Tokyo Disney Resort announced that Once Upon a Time, a new nighttime entertainment at Tokyo Disneyland, would premiere on May 29, 2014. The Magic Kingdom version is shorter and utilizes less pyrotechnics and no fire. Similar to Celebrate the Magic and Disney Dreams!, the Tokyo show premiered on May 29, 2014, and utilizes fireworks, lasers, fire, projection mapping, and searchlights during the 19-minute presentation.

Once Upon a Time is a nighttime spectacular at Magic Kingdom, which was originally known in Magic Kingdom as its full name, Once Upon A Time: Where Stories Take You Anywhere and formerly at Tokyo Disneyland.
