4th of July Events at WDW

I know we have a few members that will be in WDW for the 4th of July. Here's an overview of what's going on!
Source: DisZine.com If you don't follow them, you should!

"At the Magic Kingdom, guests will be able to enjoy "Disney's Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky," a patriotic fireworks spectacular that salutes America's forefathers. The spectacular display will take place at 9:00 PM on July 4th, but guests who wish to celebrate the holiday a day early can enjoy the show on July 3 at 9:00 PM as well.

Disney's Hollywood Studios will celebrate the holiday with the all-new "Rockin' 4th of July Celebration." In a show that combines fireworks, lighting, and special effects, rocking band "Mulch, Sweat, and Shears" will take to the stage at Disney's Hollywood Studios to celebrate America through song, with a musical road trip across the country that spotlights different regions' contributions to rock and roll. The show will begin at 9:45 PM, following a showing of "Fantasmic!" at 9:00 PM.

Epcot will be celebrating with a special "Heartbeat of Freedom" enhancement to the park's nightly spectacular "Illuminations: Reflections of Earth." The special holiday section will use a selection of traditional American themes together with pyrotechnic and laser light effects, creating a truly epic and spectacular patriotic celebration. During the day, guests can also celebrate at the park's American Adventure Pavilion, where guests can enjoy the special "Voices of Liberty Fourth of July Concert" and have a meet-and-greet with Betsy Ross, Benjamin Franklin, and some favorite Disney characters all dressed up for the holiday in patriotic outfits."

Oh man, the Independence Day events at Epcot sound cool. In Philadelphia we have Betsy Ross and Ben Franklins by the dozens, but no Disney characters dressed in time period outfits!

oh my goodness! I have a picture from when I was 3 with Mickey dressed in colonial attire at the American Pavilion at Epcot. I think he used to be there all the time like that. I'm gonna see if I can re-create that picture!

What a fun time to be at Disney! I would be at Epcot for sure! I had a friend asking about celebrating the 4th at Disney and wondering how they could top their nightly fireworks!

We will be in MK on the third as well Sheena! I'll be toting 6 teenagers along with me! On the fourth, our convention scheduled for us to see La Nouba so we will miss all of the night festivities- bummer. I'm excited but also a bit terrified- crowd levels are predicted to be a 10 out of 10! Yikes!
