Are you planning on celebrating July 4th at Walt Disney World.  I am here to tell you the parks are planning some awesome celebrations for our nation’s 239th birthday with some star-spangled salutes to America! 

If you’re visiting Walt Disney World Resort for the 4th of July, here are some highlights of the special entertainment planned for that day:

  • Magic Kingdom Park “Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky” rockets into the air above Cinderella Castle. This special, fireworks spectacular will be presented two nights in a row, at 9 p.m. on both July 3 and 4.
  • Epcot On July 4, enjoy a special concert of great American songs by Voices of Liberty at America Gardens Theater, where they’ll be performing at 12:30 p.m., 1:45 p.m., and 3 p.m. You can also meet Chip ‘n’ Dale in patriotic attire outside The American Adventure, and at 10 p.m. that evening “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” joins the celebration with the addition of a heart-pounding, all-American grand finale
  • Disney’s Hollywood StudiosThe “Coolest Summer Ever” Dance Party leads up to a “Rockin’ 4th of July Celebration,” as the sky above Disney’s Hollywood Studios ignites in a shower of shimmering light for a pyrotechnic, rock ‘n roll road trip across America. The DJ kicks things off at 5:45 p.m. and keeps the party going until fireworks time at 10:15 p.m.

If you’re not able to be at Walt Disney World Resort on July 4th but you want to celebrate the holiday in Disney style, the Disney Parks Blog has you covered. Disney Parks Blog will stream the Magic Kingdom Park July 4th fireworks show will be ‘live’ at 9 p.m. EDT right on the Disney Parks Blog.

Heritage Manor also carries USA Charm Bracelets by everyone’s favorite, Alex and Ani, in both gold and silver. I love the silver one!  That might have to fall under the “must have”category!
