Magic, Music and Mayhem was the name of a fireworks display held as part of Mickey's Pirate and Princess Party hard ticket event at the Walt Disney World Resort's Magic Kingdom near Orlando, Florida. This fireworks show was shown in place of the regular Wishes display during the event.

In June 2010, the show replaced Wishes during regular park hours as part of the Summer Nightastic! promotion, titled Summer Nightastic Firework Spectacular!

Hosted by the Fairy Godmother of Cinderella with the three good fairies Flora, Fauna and Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty , along with the traditional appearance of Peter Pan's resident pixie Tinker Bell, the show featured music from several Disney films including The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast , but an invasion of pirates led by Peter Pan villain Captain Hook wreaks havoc with music from the Pirates of the Caribbean theme park attraction and feature films (including "The Black Pearl" and "He's A Pirate") until the fairies, with help from King Triton, Ariel's father and Sebastian stave off the rebellion by the buccaneers and peace is finally restore of it. The finale featured fireworks that changed from blue to pink at the request of the Fairy Godmother to settle the argument of Flora and Merrywether's continuing dispute since the finale of Sleeping Beauty. During the Summer Nightastic Promotion, King Triton and Sebastian were not featured. The Under the Sea portion of the show was introduced by the Fairy Godmother. Also during that time, the Fairy Godmother's opening spell and some of Captain Hook's dialogue were changed to reflect the promotion.

The soundtrack of this program, along with the "Disney Adventures Enchanted Parade" as well as those in Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was available on an in-park CD entitled Magic Kingdom Event Party Music as of 2008.
