Will you be celebrating the 4th of July in Disney World? Because, well, there’s nothing like celebrating a holiday in The Most Magical Place on Earth, right?

Well, you might be aware that Magic Kingdom has special fireworks on the 4th of July, although this year, you’ll have three opportunities to see those fireworks, on the 3rd, 4th, AND 5th of July. Well, if you don’t want to deal with the crowds in Magic Kingdom, you can also see some special 4th of July fireworks in EPCOT…and this year, you’ll also have three chances to see those, too.
The Heartbeat of Freedom fireworks show is a special addition to EPCOT’s regular nighttime show, Luminous: The Symphony of Us. These special fireworks usually only run for two nights, but this year, the fireworks finale will run for the entirety of the 4th of July weekend, on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

Although many folks will crowd Magic Kingdom for the fireworks there, EPCOT may be the better park for celebrating the 4th of July. First, you’ve got the special Soarin’ Across America running for America’s 250th birthday. Plus, the American Adventure Pavilion often features your favorite characters dressed up in patriotic outfits. The fireworks finale to EPCOT’s nighttime show is the cherry on top.

Now, you’ll have three opportunities over the holiday weekend to celebrate. And if you’re visiting both EPCOT and Magic Kingdom during that time, you can see two separate rare fireworks shows in one weekend!
We’ll keep an eye out for more 4th of July fun (and snacks) in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
