THE 4th OF JULY 2015 AT WALT DISNEY WORLD
Disney World celebrates the 4th of July at several parks–and on July 3rd as well!
On Friday, July 3, 2015, the Magic Kingdom has a special fireworks show “Celebrate America” at 10p.
On Saturday, July 4, 2015
- The Magic Kingdom has the same show at the same time–“Celebrate America” at 10p
- Epcot’s Illuminations has a special holiday ending added, and is shifted from its normal 9p time to 10p, and
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios will have a special 4th of July fireworks presentation at 10.15p
Moreover, the normal Friday and Saturday evening Extra Magic Hours at Epcot and the Magic Kingdom are swapped, with MK having them Friday the 3rd and Epcot Saturday the 4th.
Those following this site’s FastPass+ High Crowd Itinerary for Walt Disney World will be at the Magic Kingdom both days, and have the evening of the 3rd off. Sensible people might swap these two evenings, seeing the Magic Kingdom fireworks July 3rd… but both nights will be wildly crowded.
FOURTH OF JULY CROWDS AT WALT DISNEY WORLD
July is the most consistently crowded month at Disney World, and in the month, visits that include the 4th of July see the highest crowds.
July is the most crowded month because every US schoolkid on a typical (that is, not year-round) calendar has the entire month off. This is not true of either June or August. Within July, many parents gravitate towards the week of the 4th for their vacations, because since the 4th is a holiday, they need to take one fewer vacation day to get a week off.
And people want to see fireworks on the 4th…so the Disney World parks offering fireworks on the 4th of July will be packed!

Lisa, everything, everywhere, will be mobbed the 4th. I like the idea of just doing the morning…
Sorry, but I don’t really have an opinion on Legoland, but for such a short trip I’d focus on Disney
We are going july 2-6th… And i was thinking maybe just stay at the resort on july the 4th because of crowds, or at least just go in the morning for a few rides.. then do downtown disney somewhere for fireworks- Thoughts?
Also- what about LegoLand, my Aunt can get us free tickets, but we will be giving up a day at disney
What about downtown disney for the fourth?? Is it as crowded also? Any other options?
Stuart you can use your credits any day from the day you check in til the day you check out–e.g. you can use two credits the 5th or the 3rd, and none the 4th.
Just booked for a party of 7 for 4th of July arrival, staying at Port Orleans French Quarter. Being that there are no dinner reservations available in MK the evening of the 4th, we have the disney dining plan so i guess we cant use our table service meal for that day since there are no reservations available in MK since we will be there for the fireworks?
