july 4th celebrations at Epcot vs. Studios

[cindyfan]

planning our vacation over July 4th. We've been there before over July 4th and plan to see the MK fireworks celebration on the 3rd! We've seen the fireworks at the Studios on the 4th and they are phenomenal!!! But we are wondering about Epcot. Will it be just a normal Illuminatios show? Or do they have a special celebration? And how does it compare to the Studios??

Not sure if they are different or special but far less crowded or at least it feels it due to the size and space

In the past, it's said to be an extra 10 minutes of fireworks at the end of Illuminations. And I think there are some additional patriotic performances near the America pavilion earlier in the day.
