Walt Disney World Confirms Return of 4th of July Fireworks and More

Walt Disney World has announced its slate of 4th of July offerings, including extended park hours, fireworks, and more.

Magic Kingdom

“Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky” will light up the nighttime sky over Magic Kingdom Park with a booming nighttime spectacular.

A simultaneous fireworks display over nearby Seven Seas Lagoon creates an unforgettable experience for guests in the park and nearby Magic Kingdom Resort Area hotels. This special fireworks show will take place July 3 and July 4 at 9:20 p.m.

A DJ will be there to celebrate in the evening and the park will have extended hours. On July 3, the park will be open from 8 a.m.-midnight, and from 8 a.m.-1 a.m. on July 4.

EPCOT

Sensational patriotic fireworks display, “The Heartbeat of Freedom,” will follow the new nighttime EPCOT fireworks show Luminous “The Symphony of Us.” Performances will take place July 3 and 4 at 9 p.m.

Three Disney characters, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and Goofy, dressed in colonial-style outfits, stand in front of the American Adventure pavilion at Epcot. Festivities for the 4th of July are in full swing at Walt Disney World, with spectacular fireworks lighting up the night sky.

Some of your favorite Disney pals – dressed for the occasion in their “Spirit of ’76” attire – will meet guests throughout the day at The American Adventure in EPCOT.

While visiting EPCOT you’ll be treated to the sounds of Americana from the legendary a cappella vocal group Voices of Liberty. The renowned singers perform patriotic numbers throughout the day in the rotunda of The American Adventure.

In celebration of the holiday, the iconic Spaceship Earth at EPCOT will be illuminated in bright red, white and blue colors at night. You can bask in a patriotic glow that will reflect across World Celebration, which is part of the park’s recently completed multi-year transformation.

For a limited time, Walt Disney World guests can dazzle their taste buds with all-new indulgences debuting this year across the resort and the return of fan-favorites such as the Barbeque Pulled Chicken Sandwich available at Regal Eagle Smokehouse in EPCOT. A Foodie Guide will be released later this month.
