4th of July at Disney World

Holidays are pretty special. The anticipation of that holiday – whether it be Christmas or 4th of July or anything in between – brings a special excitement to every day life. Planning for that special day may include costume purchasing, gift giving, or Easter basket arranging. It may even include adding a trip to Disney World!

Disney loves to go the extra mile during the holidays. In between the parties, decorations, and treats, they sure know how to do it up right.

Let freedom ring! Mickey and his pals love to celebrate our independence with a major display of fireworks! These are some of the best that are displayed each year (the other being New Years Eve). Unfortunately, the parks were closed in 2020 and fireworks have not resumed yet.

Mickey, Goofy, Chip & Dale and others have met at The American Adventure at EPCOT. While you’re there, enjoy the beautiful harmonies of Voices of Liberty! This is a must-do experience when visiting EPCOT. Their voices sync so perfectly in that rotunda, and the period costumes will blow you away. This is a beautiful tribute to our country year round, but imagine experiencing it during your 4th of July Disney trip.

Are the Magic Kingdom fireworks returning this year?

Disney will display the showtimes for firework spectaculars when you use the day calendar on the Disney World website. We noticed that Disney does not have Enchantment on the schedule for July 3 or 4. However, it is on the day calendar leading up to those dates as well as after those dates.

As you are probably aware, Magic Kingdom runs the special 4th of July fireworks for two nights – July 3 and 4. By the looks of the calendar, it does appear that Disney is planning to display the special fireworks this year! Of course, until Disney officially announces its return treat this as unconfirmed.
