We will be at Port Orleans Riverside on the night of July 4th. We won't be at the parks (first day there), but were wondering if they do fireworks at Downtown Disney for the 4th of July.
This is from 2003
Downtown Disney Pleasure Island takes a flag-waving theme July 3, 4 and 5 with patriotic decorations all about, All-American theme bands on West End Stage and in The Jazz Company, the tossing of patriotic-themed beads, and walk-around stilt-walkers decked out in red, white and blue. A special midnight fireworks salute follows the national anthem. Guests who want to let their spirit show can purchase special glow necklaces or patriotically designed face paintings. Fireworks fun and the special music is included in regular Pleasure Island admission of $19.95 plus tax.
You wouldn't need to be inside the parks to see the fireworks. You could plan dinner at one of the resorts near the theme park of choice and watch the fireworks after dinner.
