Fourth of July is such a fun time at Disney World. See if the big fireworks shows return in 2023!
Independence Day at Disney World
Holidays are pretty special. The anticipation of that holiday – whether it be Christmas or Fourth 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 at the Magic Kingdom! These are some of the best that are displayed each year (the other being New Years Eve).
Mickey, Goofy, Chip & Dale and others have met at The American Adventure at EPCOT. You may also spot some other characters in their patriotic outfits around the parks and resorts.
While you’re at Epcot, 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 Fourth of July Disney trip.
4th of July Fireworks
Over at Magic Kingdom, Disney shares that the thrilling, nighttime spectacular bursting with patriotic color and light will take place on July 3 and July 4! As of now, only one showing of Disney’s Celebrate America – A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky will take place at 9:20 pm both nights.
As for Epcot, so far we are not seeing anything related to Fourth of July fireworks. The schedule still shows Epcot Forever for both of those dates. We will update if that changes!
Last year, Epcot presented Heartbeat of Freedom immediately following Harmonious on July 4. Nothing official came from Disney until just a few days before the holiday. Guests received a push notification with information about when and where to catch the show.
So far, we know for a fact Magic Kingdom fireworks return on July 3 and 4. No information about Epcot fireworks is available yet.
