Suggestions for Disney World Fireworks

As Mark Goldhaber at Mouseplanet.com notes here, “crowd levels will be extremely high, as this is one of the busiest days of the year at Walt Disney World (especially with the holiday occurring on a Saturday this year). Parks may close their gates early due to capacity. ”

Those following this site’s summer itinerary for Walt Disney World will be at either Epcot or the Magic Kingdom (depending on whether July 4 is the first or last Saturday of their itinerary.

Those at Epcot should have no problem.

Those trying to see the Magic Kingdom may find the park closed, in which case Epcot is their best alternative. 

Epcot is less likely to be closed than the Studios, and, with its Extra Magic Hours, will not put you in the spot of having to leave with the massive crowd when the fireworks are over.
