4th of July Fireworks

[kevinwyld]

Last year I was at Epcot on 4th of July, and the Reflections of Earth fireworks and coda were amazing.
This year, I have a dilemma - do I go to Epcot again, or go to see Fantasy in the Sky or Sorcery in the Sky? While I have seen the former in its 'normal' mode and at Christmas (wonderful in red and green around the park), I have never seen Sorcery at all.
Does anyone have any recommendations as I don't think I can do them all on one night!!!
Many thanks in advance.

Well, we have the same problem. We went two years ago (or was it three?) and that time, we saw Sorcery in the Sky. We figured it is so rare, and we had never seen it before, it would be the best choice. It was definitely a good one too. I would recommend finding a seat at least an hour before. We got prime second row seats, and by the time the show was about to start, people were packed back to the entrance.

We are also going this year, and I'm not sure what we have decided to see. I think this year, it will be Illuminations. I've heard some really great things about it. I'm curious to see if anything will be changed in Sorcery in the Sky simply because of the hat. Will it get in the way of anything?

Anyway, I hope this helps. Have a great time!

I have to work through the fireworks!!!

My manager appologized for giving me the worst shift ever Essentially the only two people in the park who have a job that require them to work through the fireworks.

I'd go to Sorcery because it is so rare. You can see the others at any time.

4th

Two years ago I went, and started the day at EPCOT, where I saw the Voices of Liberty sing a capella at AA, followed by the regular AA show (and a band/flag presentation outside)...
then I took the monorail to MK for the fireworks (viewed from the middle of Main Street).

It was a blast!

Illuminations

In my opinion, Illuminations (with the Star Spangled Banner Tag at the end) is the best show. After seeing the video without the Star Spangled banner, I was not as impressed. Fireworks are just fireworks, but hearing Sandi Patti singing all the verse's of the National Anthem really made that show great.

I am not as impressed with the Magic Kingdom's fireworks anymore. Not after visiting Disneyland and experiencing "Believe, There's Magic in the Stars!".

I have only seen Sorcery in the Sky once in person and other than that only on video.

I will be at Epcot, hoping to hear The Star Spangled Banner, but ready if they do not have it....
