Don’t forget to make your park reservations for July 4th at Walt Disney World.
Walt Disney World pulls out all the stops for the 4th of July, with special events and patriotic flair across the parks. Here is what Walt Disney World has done in the past for the 4th of July at the Parks:
- Magic Kingdom:
- “Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky”: This is a spectacular fireworks show that’s even bigger and more dazzling than the usual nighttime display. It’s usually held on both July 3rd and 4th.
- DJ Parties: Dance the night away with DJs spinning tunes in front of Cinderella Castle and throughout the park.
- EPCOT:
- “Heartbeat of Freedom”: EPCOT usually adds a special patriotic finale to its nighttime spectacular.
- Voices of Liberty: Enjoy patriotic performances by the renowned a cappella group in The American Adventure pavilion.
- Spaceship Earth: The park’s iconic globe is often illuminated in red, white, and blue.
- Patriotic Character Meet-and-Greets: Some Disney characters may appear in special “Spirit of ’76” attire.
- Special Food and Merchandise: Look for limited-time, red, white, and blue-themed treats and merchandise throughout the parks and resorts.
- Disney Resort Hotels: Many Disney resort hotels offer special activities like barbecues, pool parties, and fireworks viewing.
- Disney Springs: You might find special offerings, such as the Flavors of Florida event.
Important Tips:
Transportation: Allow extra time for transportation, as buses, monorails, and boats will be crowded.
Crowds: The 4th of July is one of the busiest times of the year at Disney World, so be prepared for large crowds.
Planning: Make park reservations early, and plan your day in advance.
Fireworks Viewing: Secure a good fireworks viewing spot well in advance, especially in Magic Kingdom.
