The 4th of July can be a magical time to visit Disney World, but it can also be an incredibly busy time.

For the first time since 2019, the 4th of July fireworks are coming BACK to Magic Kingdom, and park reservations are filling up FAST. If you were hoping to catch these patriotic fireworks this year, we have news for you.

Disney World’s special fireworks show, “Disney’s Celebrate America! — A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky,” will take place on July 3rd and July 4th at 9:20PM ONLY in Magic Kingdom. As you’ve probably guessed, this makes July 4th a popular day to visit Magic Kingdom.

As of today, Magic Kingdom is fully booked for July 4th for theme park ticket holders. You can still book EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but you cannot book Magic Kingdom for July 4th at this time.

If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, July 4th reservations are also fully booked for Magic Kingdom. Now keep in mind — there IS a showing of the July 4th fireworks on July 3rd too, and Magic Kingdom is still open for July 3rd park reservations for theme park ticket holders AND Disney World hotel guests.

It’s possible that Disney World could add more park reservations to the calendar for July 4th but it’s not necessarily something you want to assume will definitely happen. Still, it’s not a bad idea to check Disney World’s park reservation calendar every day if you have your heart set on those July 4th Magic Kingdom park passes.

If you’re thinking about Park Hopping, July 4th is one of those dates that frequently hits capacity in Magic Kingdom, so it might not be a realistic possibility since Park Hopping is only allowed after 2PM. However, Disney buses typically begin park-to-park transportation around 1:30PM, and this is one of those dates that you’d want to plan out as early as possible. You can also call (407) 560-5000 to find out which parks are at capacity BEFORE Park Hopping.

Here are some of your current options for celebrating the 4th of July in Disney World this year:

• Reserve July 3rd at Magic Kingdom NOW to see the 4th of July fireworks (seriously, don’t wait!)
• Plan to Park Hop on July 4th knowing the possibility of Magic Kingdom hitting capacity
• Spend your 4th of July in EPCOT for the Harmonious fireworks show
• Keep checking Disney World’s park reservation calendar in case more passes are added
