Fourth of July 2016 celebrations at Walt Disney World

Is it even dark enough at 9 pm?

yes, the fireworks are at twilight's last gleaming.

They might have. I have not been in a few years. We will be there on the 3rd this year but we have an ADR at Kona for dinner so it should not be a problem. Even if it is, the TTC is a great view.

So will i!

Sunset is at 8:27 PM, so almost a .5 hour gap between Sunset and the time the fireworks start at MK.

This was taken a few minutes before the fireworks 2 years agoon july 3rd. It was raining as well.

Sunset is at 8:27 PM, so almost a .5 hour gap between Sunset and the time the fireworks start at MK.

It is dark, but there is still a small amount of sun light from the west.

Just to clarify, does Celebrate America utilize all the perimeter launch sites both nights or just on the 4th?

Both nights. July 3rd and 4th.

The Magic Kingdom show is currently uploading for ya'll Check back later if it's not playing so while it uploads/processes. I'm going to bed now.

I've not gone to sleep update: It's processing

It's either still processing or "stuck". I've run into this with other accounts. You may need to re-upload.

Does anyone know if the water parks are busy today? The rule of thumb for animal kingdom was that it was usually not busy the day of a holiday (ones with special fireworks at the other parks), but it was usually busy the day after. Does the same hold true for the water parks, or will it be pretty packed today?

Watching the fireworks on Main Street through your phone looks like fun.

 

[wdwmagic]

MK lot is at around 50% at 11am

John, sorry for the issues, it's up . It could be due to the codec I used.

Anyone know if the EWP was out for Celebrate America?

Anyone know if the EWP was out for Celebrate America?

The barges were out playing the music, so I assume they came on during the finale

They did. It felt like business as usual on the poly beach. Audio was pretty bad. I didn't notice any new restrictions besides the new fence.

They were being very strict about checking resort or dining reservations to park and they were handing out 3 hour parking passes.

I overheard some others complain that they couldn't get in from the ttc walkway and had to walk around and get in another way.
