For Me…….I do enjoy going to a fireworks show.
The last show I went to was last month at WDW to see Happily Ever After.
We will be going to a local fireworks show tonight for the 4th.

I like to see fireworks. The last time I saw a professional show was pre-covid.

I’m in WDW, and I watched Happily ever After on Saturday and Sunday, and I will see MK’s 4th of July fireworks today on the 3rd, and will go to see Epcot’s tomorrow on the 4th.

Yes, I love seeing fireworks shows, especially when they are accompanied by music and/or a story!

I love fireworks. When we were at disney, we had a room at blt where you could see them. If we didn't, I'd go down to the parking lot. The roof was great but took so long to get down again.

We loved the fireworks currently showing showing at Epcot. Just made us happy.

4 of July, we don't go to a display, but can see some fireworks from porch, but they are miles away.

I love fireworks shows, especially the simple ones of my childhood (and the Magic Kingdom ones, of course!)

I have fond memories of going with my mom, because it was one of her favorite things.

I plan on going to a local show tomorrow unless it is canceled by rain.

Our town puts on a very good show every year. I can see them from our yard. I love fireworks.

I am in D.C. and while the show is great there are too many people and it is too hot and muggy, not to mention the smoke from Canada, so I won't be going.

I love the Disney fireworks displays - Wishes is an all time favorites
My neighbors all shoot off fireworks - huge amounts for hours and hours so I don’t need to leave my house - I can just go outside and watch them - they do this nightly for about 3 days hardcore then it’s just random people shooting them off for the next month - sadly my poor dog hates them - we are trying medicine this year and more loud rap music to try and drown out the noise - late night for me as they don’t stop until well after 2 wish me luck as last year was not pretty !!

We haven't been to a professional show outside of Disney in YEARS. Normally, I don't care for them because the traffic is so horrendous.

This 4th of July we are going to a professional show at a very famous city in our area. Except, we are renting a hotel room right on the beach - we can walk to the fireworks and/or see them from our hotel room. I think I'll enjoy them much more like this!

I really can’t remember the last time I went to a fireworks show, except for November 2019 at the Magic Kingdom. While I enjoy fireworks, I just can’t deal with the logistics of attending a show — traffic, parking, crowds, etc.

 

[Disneylover99]

Not really a fan. They’re too loud for me and they make me jump.
I prefer to watch them on tv.

 

[Babs Johnson]

Eh. I’ve seen fireworks plenty of times but none for at least 10 years. The whole process is a hassle from start to finish.

As for Disney, fireworks are great. Great for shorter line rides while they’re going on.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I love fireworks, but our dog is terrified from the ones set off in our neighborhood, so we will stay home with him and watch them on TV.

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

Not really my thing. I never go to any kind of professional show ... crowds, traffic. Sometimes if we're at the beach for 4th of July or New Years we'll be able to see them set off from a distance away and we'll watch them then. I'll watch them if we're at Disney, but usually it's while we're moving - we don't just stand there and watch. I also don't go up on deck to see them when we're on DCL.

It's always seemed like a strange way to celebrate - to blow things up - not to mention the injuries & loss of life they can cause.

Same!

 

[Meriweather]

Love firework shows......the family prefers home so they are the ones that set them off.

Last professional was several years ago at WDW.
We don't go to them here. Too hot

This is exactly how my husband feels. I'm the exact opposite. I like the loud booms and dislike watching them on tv. We usually end up staying home and watching them on TV

 

[BrianL]

I assumed this to be about local Fourth of July fireworks, which I don't care for. Disney has spoiled me! Now, Disney fireworks shows - love them!

 

[Schneewittchen37]

I enjoy fireworks shows. Though I'm not going to frequently go out of my way to see them either. The last professional show I went to was at MK with my family last year. DS and I usually use the fireworks shows as an opportunity to run from coaster to coaster. Mine train is amazing during the show.

Anyway, this year we're 50/50. If some friends of ours come up to visit, we'll go to a local redneck show put on by a bunch of drunk uncles in a grassy field near our community pool. (Some of them are cops/firemen so it's only slightly dangerous.)

If our friends don't come up to visit, we'll go to the pool during the day and head into DC for the nighttime show. I used to go there when I was a teen/young adult. It's impressive. But the subway ride home stinks....

Our town puts on a nice show on the 4th, I watch from my living room through the window while comforting my dog. I can see bits and pieces from the NYC fireworks, a short drive would allow me to see more, but I stay with my dog.
