Disney offers a variety of resort options to best fit each guest’s needs and price points. These include value resorts, moderate resorts, and deluxe resorts.
Guests can enjoy hopping to many of the great Disney resorts. Guests are invited to enjoy shopping and dining, but at times certain restrictions are put in place.
Disney Fireworks Restricted Access
As guests swarm to Walt Disney World for the July 4th festivities, Disney announced new restrictions for Disney Resorts. Many guests like to enjoy the fireworks from outside the parks on the Resort Monorail loop. Typically, this premium fireworks viewing is open to everyone and not just resort guests.
There is one exception to this. On July 3rd and 4th, the Magic Kingdom will replace Happily Ever After” with “Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky”. In previous years, and this year as well, only guests staying at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian will be allowed beach access viewing of the fireworks.
Wristbands are required to enter the beach access on this date. This year, Disney is making a change to the distribution of wristbands at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Guests are notified that today, July 3rd, each guest room will receive four wristbands for fireworks viewing.
What happens if yours are missing or if you need more than four wristbands? Simply visit the Great Ceremonial House or the Island Tower Lobby.
Additional Disney Fireworks Restrictions
At Disney’s Contemporary, the 4th-floor fireworks viewing will be only for guests staying at the resort on July 4th. Wristbands will be required to access this special viewing location.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort guests will receive 4 wristbands for fireworks viewing.
If you are not staying at the Polynesian or the Grand Floridian, you will need to make alternative plans to view the special “A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky” this year.
