How You Can Celebrate the 4th of July at Walt Disney World. Guests visiting Walt Disney World Resort during Independence Day will have many ways to celebrate this patriotic holiday. Whether you enjoy themed food and beverages, festive decorations, unique entertainment, or a fireworks spectacular, there is a way for guests of any age to celebrate at Walt Disney World Resort this July 4th.

Magic Kingdom Park – Park Hours: July 3, 8 a.m.-12 a.m.; July 4, 8 a.m.-1 a.m.

“Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky” will offer booming red, white, and blue fireworks orchestrated to patriotic melodies at Magic Kingdom Park on both July 3rd and July 4th at 9:15 p.m.


Fans who are not able to join in the Independence Day celebration at the park can view a special July 4 live stream of the dazzling fireworks display via the Disney Parks Blog. The fireworks are just one of the many ways to celebrate the 4th of July at Magic Kingdom Park:

  • A fuzzy cast of Muppets – Miss Piggy, Kermit, Fozzie Bear and friends will reenact famous moments in American history in a whimsical way during “The Muppets Present … Great Moments in History.” A live show that is performed several times daily near the Hall of Presidents in Liberty Square.
  • Guests  of all ages can dance the night away with DJs spinning tunes at a Hoedown Throwdown in Frontierland and an out-of-this-world Galactic Gathering in Tomorrowland.
