4TH of July Recap at Magic Kingdom.. Truly Amazing

I am going to keep this short as I am running late to Hollywood studios. But prior to my vacation I had almost not went to magic kingdom on the 4th because of all the negative posts about being in the park. I will never listen to negativity again. Not only was it the 4th but it was also my birthday which was truly an amazing experience.

we were at magic kingdom from 10am until closing and yes, it was beyond crazy. So crazy that Pecos bills had a hour wait to both order and a separate wait to get a table. But when I tell you magic kingdom knows how to throw a party and make every guest feel special, they did just that everywhere.

I wore my birthday button and nearly every cast member said happy birthday. I truly felt like a star. I even got a free entree and desert toward the end of the night when the manager said wow your a independence baby and the CMS working the register sung happy birthday. I started crying I have never felt so special before in public.

While the crowds were extremely heavy we never waited in line for more than 45mins. Utilizing fastpass and straying away from the Paraguay tour groups (just as bad as Brazil). We did everything in the magic kingdom, literally everything and also did space mountain 6 times before midnight, splash mountain 3 times. I even rode dumbo which I have not rode since 1994.

The fireworks were aweinspiring. That alone is worth the trip. The 360 perimeter was phenomenal. After the fireworks, we were standing by winnie the pooh and the cm said hey birthday boy, your my VIP guest, she meant the line was walk on as I had walked pass several times and it was a 60min wait. Lol

This was truly the best birthday ever. What makes Disneyworld special is that even with the park closed to capacity, the CMS make a point to make each guest feel special and that is why they get all my money. Sometimes you need those special moments in life. Thank you for a wonderful birthday and holiday magic kingdom.

Glad you had such a great time. Like Hatter, I've been a few times on Independence Day ... A wee trick for the next time though is to go and see the MK fireworks on the 3rd (full 4th show but day earlier) and then see the July 4th fireworks at Epcot. Epcot is actually my favourite for the sheer volume of fireworks they send up at the end of the special tag.

Thank you for that tip. I have already made plans to be on the 3rd and 4th next year so I have heard Epcot does it great if not better. So I will get my drink around the world :)

Yes it was amazing. We watched from the CM area, as did many non-cast members, and it was quite a show. 360 fireworks. Nobody does it like Disney!!! Starbucks twice in four hours too.
