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!

Make sure you all get there early on the 4th, the park will reach capacity usually by 10am
And please remember to be nice to cast members!!! Last year we had 4 people quit on the spot where I work now in Tomorrowland.
We can and will do everything in our power to make your visit as magical as possible, but we can not control that it’s hot and will be crowded with super long lines filled with cranky and hungry people.
Thanks Asia!!
MK gets crazy busy. I highly recommend getting one of those backpacks with a leash
so you can keep track of your kids (sound silly but you wouldn’t believe how many parents lose their children) just wanting to leave that tip Lol proud mother of a fellow toddler!
Jeremy, sorry I don’t. On such a crowded day, all spots will be occupied.
We are going to MK on July 4th and know the park will be crazy. Do you have any suggestions on some of the best places to watch the fireworks that might be largely unknown to the masses?
