4th of July?

[tinkerhon]

Thanks. We hope to be there too (arriving from MCO early evening). I don't see that the HS fireworks are posted on the official park schedule. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Many times they are the last to post--- I did a google search , and found a ton of websites that listed the schedule
10:15pm with a "rock n roll " theme---- "Fantasmic" at 11pm

The fireworks in MK are incredible! They are in the round! It's insanely busy and getting out of the park afterwards is a mess, but...we've loved it! Although, I don't think I could get my DH or kids to do it again (we've done it twice now).

The parks will be ridiculous. You will not have tons of personal space especially during fireworks. That said, I braved MK on the 4th last year and plan to do it again this year! Just go in with reasonable expectations and use FP wisely. Keep hydrated and you will be fine.

Doing MK 7/3 Epcot 7/4 ready for the heat and the madness

We've been to MK on the 4th and while it was amazing to do once, I doubt I would ever do it again. The fireworks were incredible but the heat and the crowds were merciless lol. Sounds like you know what you're getting into, so I'm sure as long as you know what to expect you'll have a great time

This is our plan for now as well. Can't say it won't change though. We have a late dinner reservation at The Plaza on July 3rd and plans to eat at EPCOT on July 4th so it sounds pretty reasonable for us. Not sure we're quite ready for the heat or crowds but the plan is to build up some tolerance with our Maryland weather between now and then...so what's that two more weeks? O M G!

We did MK one fourth like 20 years ago and it wasn't that bad then but more people now. We have BOG breakfast then dinner at Via Napoli. Really looking forward to seeing illuminations and fireworks there.
