Everywhere You Can See Fireworks Today at Walt Disney World Resort!
It’s the 4th of July, and that means it’s time to don your favorite red white and blue threads and head to Walt Disney World Resort for some proper celebrations! We here at MickeyBlog have had fireworks on the brain ever since the big nighttime shows returned to the Parks this past week- and we still want more!
We’ve compiled a list of all the places you can see some fireworks at Walt Disney World Resort on Independence Day!
Hollywood Studios
Although no nighttime shows have made their return to this Park, you can still celebrate the holiday with some fireworks at Hollywood Studios! Journey with Minnie and Mickey through Runamuck Park in Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway!

After a wacky adventure, sit back and enjoy the fireworks in the finale scene. The rollicking adventure is perfect for the whole family as there is no height requirement to ride!
EPCOT

Soarin’ Around the World is another attraction that features some festive fireworks in the final scene. Fittingly, the fireworks in the attraction are depicted over Spaceship Earth, giving the attraction a perfect full-circle ending.
You can also head into the Mexico Pavilion to see how a different culture does celebrations. The Three Caballeros serenade you as you leisurely sail past a Mexican bandshell. Take in the celebrations all around your boat- including looking up! You just might spot some fireworks bursting overhead.
Of course, Epcot’s biggest fireworks viewing opportunity comes in the form of their nighttime spectacular: Epcot Forever. Featuring a gorgeous array of fireworks set to nostalgic Epcot music, this display in the skies is the perfect way to celebrate the 4th of July!
Magic Kingdom
Before Happily Ever After takes to the skies this evening, get your fill of fireworks during the daytime hours at Magic Kingdom! Mickey’s Philharmagic is a celebration of the 90’s Disney movies that have become classics. Big musical numbers call for big finales, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the fireworks that accompany the sing-a-long songs!
Hop aboard a clamshell and journey under the sea with Ariel for another chance to be apart of a big celebration! During Eric and Ariel’s wedding celebration in the attraction’s finale, you’ll spot the happy couple smiling beneath a sky filled with gorgeous fireworks!

Happily Ever After is not to be missed if you’re a true fireworks aficionado! The show features 22 minutes of nonstop pyrotechnics accompanied by unbelievable projection mapping of Cinderella Castle and-of course- fantastic Disney music!
