If you’re planning a visit to Walt Disney World for the Fourth of July, you’ll find Magic Kingdom is no longer available for the holiday. As a reminder, guests must make a Theme Park Reservations to gain access to a Disney park.

Fourth of July at Walt Disney World has always been one of the most popular days for guests to visit. During pre-pandemic days they had epic firework displays and would always deliver something amazing for the holiday. Since COVID-19 we have yet to see the return of fireworks, except for the small occasional bursts of fireworks by Cinderella Castle during the Christmas holiday in 2020. Do you think Disney will have fireworks ready to roll in time for July 4?
In honor of the national holiday, Disney is revisiting an unforgettable night of magic at the Walt Disney World Resort for a special virtual viewing of the spectacular Fourth of July fireworks. Check it out below as shared by DisneyParksBlog:
For tonight’s #DisneyMagicMoments viewing, prepare for patriotism at its finest as we take you back to 2018 to experience a night of breathtaking fireworks orchestrated to festive, toe-tapping melodies. Watch as the sky above the iconic Cinderella Castle illuminates with colorful, bright and sparkling fireworks.
If you are not able to get out and see a fireworks display in your own area or you just want to watch one of the greatest shows in America, you are in luck.
if you can’t make it to Magic Kingdom (or don’t feel like dealing with the crowds), you’re in luck. Disney plans to live-stream the fireworks celebration.
Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky will take place on July 4. The live-stream will start at 9:10 p.m. ET and can be watched on the official Disney Parks Blog.
