4th of July help

[dscott1996]

Going to be in the World over the 4th of July holiday. Two questions I'm hoping I can get help for:

We're hoping to watch the Magic Kingdom Fireworks on the 3rd of July. My understanding is the Independence Day Fireworks are done on both the 3rd and the 4th. Can we view the fireworks on the 3rd from the Polynesian? Will it be crazy there? Would you recommend just going in the park?

We're hoping to celebrate the 4th at Epcot.

Additionally, you can't get fastpasses for Pandora during the late night extra magic hours. What are the wait times like for the Avatar rides during those late night hours?

Hope I'm being clear and thanks in advance.

The 4th of July fireworks display is on the 3rd and 4th, and it is viewable from the Poly as well as the T&TC, the observation deck at CR, the Grand's beach, and a host of other places. Check in advance to make sure they'll be letting guests not staying at the resort onto the beach to view them.

Pandora is still busy at night, as experiencing it in all its bioluminescent glory is completely different than daytime, but wait times do see a bit of a drop. Na'vi River Journey is typically an hour or a bit more, Flight of Passage in the 90-110 minute range. Unlike other attractions, they won't let you get in line right up until park close. They stop letting guests in the queue when the wait time will bring them to the 1:00 am close, so just be sure to keep an eye on the times.

I would recommend viewing the fireworks from within the park to get the full experience and to really enjoy the full 360 degree fireworks.

Pandora is slammed all time of the day. For EMH you're still looking at 60+ min waits
