We’re ready to stock up on some nostalgic Disney merch, and Amazon is happy to oblige! We’re super obsessed with those vintage Disney glass cups, and we’re grabbing a whole bunch this weekend. Check out some of our favorites!
Grab the fireworks, sparkles, and Sam Eagle because we are getting ready to celebrate the Fourth of July in Disney World! While we’ll definitely be catching the fireworks, here at Disney Food Blog, we can’t forget about all the new snacks coming!
Fourth of July treats
We’re going through the hotels and parks to grab a few returning, but a lot of brand-new snacks are all here for the 4th of July season. With it being the 250th anniversary of the United States, every treat feels a little bit more special this year. These snacks are usually only here for a limited time, so if something is calling to you, you might want to prioritize it during your visit. Okay, enough of the details — who’s ready to eat?
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 Fourth of July is quickly approaching, and Disney World has already started offering exclusive treats! Of course, we had to grab some of them to try them out.

We grabbed two special treats for July 4th, and we are letting you know if you should add them to your Independence Day plans. Now is the perfect time to finalize your snacking plans for the Fourth of July!
A big holiday is coming up soon — and we’re looking forward to seeing how Disney World celebrates.
Fireworks at Magic Kingdom
Yes, the 4th of July is right around the corner, and, of course, the big thing that EVERYONE uses to celebrate is fireworks. Now, of course, there are special fireworks in Magic Kingdom for the big day, but if you’ll be visiting Orlando or live in the city, there are some new fireworks rules you need to be aware of this year.
We know — a lot is going on in Disney World right now, and with the grand opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom, you might’ve even forgotten that next week is a holiday!

That’s right! The 4th of July is right around the corner, and we’re expecting things to be pretty busy in Disney World, especially with Orlando being the #2 travel destination for the busy holiday week. If you plan on visiting Disney World next week, though, we do have some good brunch news to share with you.
It is hard to believe that July 4th is coming up next week! Disney World has special fireworks and themed treats, but they aren’t the only ones celebrating the Fourth of July.
Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando Resort is also getting in on the celebration of Independence Day at both Universal Studios Florida and CityWalk. There will be special entertainment on July 4th, and we have all the details for you! There are even some ticket deals for Florida residents happening right now.
One of the most FUN parts of visiting Disney World is meeting the characters — Disney World character interactions are the BEST!
American Adventure Pavilion
We’ve had some amazing interactions with many of the Disney princesses, Mickey and his friends, Pixar characters, and more. We’ve visited almost all the character meet and greet locations in Disney World, plus we’ve eaten at all of the character dining experiences. However, these special meet-and-greets become even more special when you get to experience a rare one, and we’ve got a SUPER rare meet-and-greet experience to tell you about that is coming up soon.
There are times when you just KNOW Disney World is going to be SUPER busy.
Let’s look at Spring Break, for example. The weeks that comprise Spring Break always bring LOADS of people to the parks. But the holidays are also a big draw, especially on Christmas and New Year’s Eve. We also see a ton of people in the parks during runDisney events. Then there are sporting events that bring folks to the park — well, we’ve got one of those to warn you about.
Are you ready for 2024 in Disney World? It’s already shaping up to be a great year!
Are you prepared for the changes coming to Disney World?
There are so many things coming by the end of this year and into the new one — things like returning fireworks shows, park transformations, and hotel makeovers just to name a few. There are also some big things that Disney World is doing for the FIRST time in 2024 — here’s our full list!
