If you've never seen The Voices of Liberty at The American Adventure this is a great time to see them!

 

[Wngo905]

Getting EXCITED!!!!!!!! The Family and I will see the MK fireworks from roof of California Grill on July 3 and the Epcot fireworks from Rose and Crown July 4!!!!!

 

[iMax]

I will be in EPCOT for the 4th, can't wait to feel the finale in my chest again.

It's not Independence Day until you've had a patriotic cupcake at AK.

In all seriousness, I like all the activities at FoW. All traditional activities I’ve seen elsewhere. Golf cart parade, all day beach bash, etc. If you didn’t go to any parks, sounds perfect.

So, never been and would like to. I've been to new years eve fireworks at MK and EP. Are the crowds and fireworks comparable? Because NYE crowd at EP was horrible. Most I've even seen there!

Yep - and more so! Plus you get the benefit of the weather being 91/91 with thunderstorms every afternoon! Joy

Is House of Blues doing a "Red, White and Blues" concert?

Oh, was that a couple years ago when that huge storm rolled through? The clouds during sunset were just gorgeous - bright pink! I got a great photo from the Poly of what I think is that same thunderhead.

The storms and humidity are no fun, but I love that it’s not quite fully dark when the fireworks start.

I went to 4th at EP last year and crowds weren't bad, same with NYE

I was at the parks for the 4th a couple years ago. We opted to spend the day at AK and honestly had one of the best experiences there. Becuase it was the only park with no fireworks and because this was pre Pandora, the crowds were very light and we were able to enjoy each of the attractions with very minimal waits.

How did Disney make the sky red, white, and blue like that?

 

[surfsupdon]

I love the Americana feel at many locations within Disney. Fireworks are great too!

 

[JohnD]

Bumping to tonight, July 4.

Monorail queues are filling half the entry plaza

Did you watch fireworks from poly beach? How was the view? One way to beat crowds is to view from the resorts.

They were issuing wristbands for those staying at the resort. Seems they're limiting fireworks viewing for the 3rd and 4th to those actually staying there.

That would be my plan. Or stay at Epcot area resort for illuminations. I've never gone on the 4th. My daughters aren't huge fans of normal 4th fireworks, but they like the Disney shows.
