It is a BIG day in Disney World!
It’s been over a year since we last saw a full-out fireworks spectacular in Disney World. Sure, we’ve seen fireworks testing here and there, but today is the day that we’ll get to watch Disney World fireworks shows in ALL. THEIR. GLORY. again! But, of course, we’re not the only ones who are excited. Wonder what the crowds in the parks look like right now? We’re sharing all the details here with you!
Right now, we’ve got reporters in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT where we’ll see the return of Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever, respectively. But, they’re not there alone.
For now, let’s take a look at the crowd levels in Magic Kingdom. As we made our way into the park, things weren’t too bad at first.

The crowds got more dense the closer we got to Cinderella Castle.
And as the time for the fireworks drew nearer, the crowds got larger.
Here’s a peek at that crowd. This is the view toward Main Street, U.S.A.
Let’s just say, we weren’t the only ones excited for the fireworks.
Here’s another look at those crowds.

But, our reporter noted that it didn’t feel too crowded.
Just about 15 minutes or so before the start of the show, there were quite a few guests waiting for EPCOT Forever to begin.
Grab those retro EPCOT shirts and get ready to belt along to some classic EPCOT music! Say it with us: veggie, fruit, fruit!
