4th of July Fireworks at MK and Epcot

[MagicalDaze]

Making WDW plans for 3rd and 4th of July and noticed the Magic Kingdom calendar lists no fireworks or special events either day and the Epcot calendar just lists Luminous on both days . . .does that sound right? People discussed special fireworks at MK on July 3rd and what I thought was a special 4th of July fireworks show at both parks last year - do we think nothing currently listed on park calendars means the holiday fireworks shows aren't happening this year? Just want to make sure I plan to get us to the right spot if there's gonna be a special fireworks show.

That is interesting, Disneyland already has the 4th of July fireworks posted.

I'm assuming they'll have a special fireworks show at least at MK but think it's strange that nothing's posted less than a month out. Frustrating given it's their policies that make me have to plan reservations, etc. this far out.

Generally they do the special Magic Kingdom fireworks on the 3rd and 4th.

The Epcot special fireworks are only on the 4th. It's really the same show as always, just a short epilogue I guess you could say at the end that celebrates America, directly over the American pavilion.

They typically announce this a week or so before the celebration as I recall.

Often they'll have a military flyover over Cinderella's castle on the 4th as well.
