Just a fair warning for those who watching the fireworks from outside the park, the poly beach is extremely crowded. I've been going for 6 years and never seen it this bad. They closed of the beach by poly and GF for club 33. 15mins before the show start told cast members told those who have been waiting to leave as they expect "a couple hundred people" to show up. We went to the restroom, cam back and went back to our spot.
For the show, I noticed they cut some pyro, but also used a better select and added new effects to the castle.
The water pagent floats were not out this year, not sure if it was due to lightning in the area or not. Hopefully see everyone at EPCOT today!

What’s with the club 33 beach nonsense? I figured that club was a terrible idea in Florida...I see it’s starting.

The holiday fell on a Thursday. Hard to make a long weekend off a single day off.

Not really...it would involve 1 big fat day off. And the target wdw customers are the “upper crust” that have this thing called “vacation”

You know what I meant. Holidays always see higher attendance when they fall on fridays or mondays and create long weekends. Yes many many people still make it a long weekend and many have vacation. That’s why the park is busy. But what day a holiday falls on does play a part in attendance.

Not sure, but it upset quite a few people there! (Including myself)

I really feel lucky that hubby gets 6-7 weeks a year paid. We are not upper crust though.

I just arrived at Epcot, and at least so far this is by far the lightest crowd I’ve seen here on July 4th in at least 15 years. It’s downright quiet in here.
That seems very unlike Disney. When there is to be an event they normally close off the area hours before to avoid that exact situation you describe. How were people taking it being told to leave 15 mins before the show?
Yep it certainly looks that way from the wait times. I see bad weather heading to Epcot shortly - that won't help either.

Yeah, there is an epic thunderstorm just to the east that’s taunting us all right now.
Possibly, but last year was on a Wednesday and it seemed more crowded.
My guess is just a combination of less AP holders and less people willing to tolerate the potential crowds. Basically everything Disney wants??
