I love the Fourth of July fireworks. There is no separate ticket. They usually start at 9 p.m., an hour earlier than when Wishes starts. Fireworks are shot both behind MK and from a little island in the Seven Seas Lagoon, plus there are perimeter fireworks.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Easily the best fireworks show of the year. Definitely a must see.

Get there as early as you can in the morning. Be ready to wait in long lines for rides. If you're wanting good views for the fireworks expect to be sitting and waiting for those as well.

Arrive early and do not leave

Also sometimes not sure if it's every year but mk shoots the 4th fireworks off the night before as well for "dress rehearsal"

We found the 4th to be just as crowded as a few days before Christmas.

I love the 4th of July fireworks at the Magic Kingdom. They are amazing!

But nothing at Disney beats the pure power of the finale on the 4th over at Epcot

it's not that bad crowd wise. We have gone the past 5 years and it's busy but not crazy. We always watched from the hub and have always been able to secure a spot 20 mins to showtime.

I agree Dave lol, and No offense to the poster saying that of course .. But I know every single year the park usually fills to capacity by 12pm if not earlier so I know it's bad and have seen pictures every year from others and its wall to wall/shoulder to shoulder people. So I totally agree with your question as to what is bad to them. Haha
Best advice as others noted get there as early as you can in the AM and do not leave. Prepare for large crowds and Enjoy the awesome fireworks show!!

I highly recommend doing the 3rd of July at Magic Kingdom and the 4th at Epcot. That's what we did last year and it was REALLY successful for us.

If you want to read about it....here's our trip report from last year. http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/12-days-of-live-trip-reporting.886042/ July 3 at MK is on the second page and July 4 at Epcot on page three.
