July 4th

Anyone know what special things are on in the parks for 4th July? I know they'll all be busy, but which might be best to see. I've never been there for 4th July before so...:sohappy:

Good luck on fighting the crowds.

I can't really tell you much other than that and that they have extra fireworks. The only 4th I've been there on, I was working.

I'm thinking of missing the parks on the 4th now. Any ideas on what else there is to do in the orlando area for the 4th?

They add extra bands, food carts and live shows in all parks for those who do not wish to stand in lines. At the end of the night, perimeter fireworks are added to the shows. Epcot puts still more pyro out on the water... that is worth seeing.

A word of caution, the Epcot parking lot takes a while to clear, so it's actually better to park near the back that day. Or if you're staying at a WDW resort, walk out the "French connnection" gate and catch your resort bus from the Yacht/Beach or Boardwalk stops.

Hey..

I was in DW for July 4th 2000. I knew that July 4th is a pretty hyped up thing, but i was a bit dissapointed. There wasnt really anything 'extra' except for the Magic Kingdom being open until 1am....

Also,,, I didn't find the crowds to be that bad either....but maybe that cuz i have a bit too much patience.....and we even stayed there from open to close that day....
