Disney World 4th of July

Independence Day in Disney World is often the best time of the year to catch the parks’ biggest and best fireworks shows. With patriotic firework displays at Magic Kingdom and Epcot, the 4th of July promises to be extra special.

4th of July at Magic Kingdom

For those seeking some context to the 4th of July celebrations, head to Magic Kingdom. There you’ll be able to visit The Hall of President, for a 25-minute tour on the fascinating stories of the U.S. presidents. There’s also an optional self-guided tour available too, if you’d like to take in historical U.S artefacts and replicas. Those seeking out a moment of patriotic pride should head to Main Street afterwards, for the daily The Flag Retreat at 5pm. Guests can pledge allegiance to the flag as it is lowered, overlooked by a veteran in attendance, who is specially selected for the honor. Those wanted to re-energize afterwards should head to the numerous DJ dance parties to celebrate 4th of July and which will also take place in Magic Kingdom.  In the evenings of the 3rd and 4th July from 9:20pm Magic Kingdom will be hosting its “Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky” fireworks display. Prepare to enjoy an illuminating show of pageantry, with patriotic themed music to accompany the fireworks and themed castle projections. There will also be plenty of patriotic treats available throughout the park, including themed refreshments and plenty of new merchandise. Be sure to look out for your favorite characters who will be wearing their fourth of July finest!

EPCOT 4th of July events

Another fantastic showcase of 4th July events in Orlando will be taking place at EPCOT. Live vocals from the live cappella group Voices of Liberty will be performing by the American Adventure rotunda from the best-loved hits from the American songbook. Families looking for a fun educational journey into American history can visit EPCOT’s American Adventure show. Around the park too, patriotic 4th of July vibes will be in the air. The iconic Spaceship Earth at EPCOT will also be illuminated red, white and blue for the 4th of July, whilst the nightly “Heartbeat of Freedom” fireworks display from 9pm promises to top off a star-spangled trip to the parks.

Those looking to continue the celebrations after-hours will adore entertaining from our luxury villas in Orlando – home to summer BBQ kitchens, private pools, epic games rooms and more!
