If you’re celebrating Independence Day 2019 in Walt Disney World, you’ll want to know about all of the red, white, and blue happenings in the parks!
Red, White, and Blue Mickey Krispy Treat
Magic Kingdom and Epcot will both be presenting patriotic fireworks displays and more. And guess what? Even if you aren’t going to be in Disney World, there is still a way to enjoy the All-American fun…
Magic Kingdom
The Fourth of July is so nice, they celebrate it twice in Magic Kingdom! As in years past, guests will be able to enjoy “Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky” fireworks spectacular set to patriotic songs on both July 3rd and 4th at 9:15 PM. And Disney fans at home can enjoy a live stream of the show on Disney Parks Blog on July 4th!
Fireworks!!!
Additional fun for guests in the park will include a Hoedown Throwdown complete with a DJ in Frontierland, and a Galactic Gathering in Tomorrowland.
Happy Independence Day!
And, though it can be seen year ’round, Independence Day is the perfect day to stop by Liberty Square to see Muppet friends like Miss Piggy, Kermit, Fozzie Bear and more reenact historic moments in “The Muppets Present … Great Moments in History” presented several times throughout the day!

IllumiNations
(Don’t forget, IllumiNations ends its run on September 30, 2019, so this will be the final Fourth of July when you can catch it.)
Voices of Liberty will perform American songs at a Fourth of July concert at the America Gardens Theatre stage at 5:30, 6:45 and 8 PM. And at 2:00 and 3:00 PM, Voices of Liberty will perform in the rotunda inside The American Adventure pavilion.

Hoedown Throwdown sounds like a World Championship Wrestling pay per view from 1989
When will you know More about the dining packages?
Beth, click here for the latest info about 2020 dining packages.
I think Beth meant the 2019 4th of July “special dining packages” mentioned in the article, not the 2020 general packages.
I am interested in more info on these also.
What Ryan said.
My mistake, Ryan and Beth! No word on these yet, but we’ll update when we see them!
Hi, Ryan and Beth! Sorry again for my confusion yesterday. I checked with the team to be sure I didn’t miss any announcements, and sure enough, Disney hasn’t released any other July 4 package information yet. We’ll be watching and will post ASAP if we see something.
Sarah, Thanks for the update please keep us posted!
Are we sure MK has the 4th of July fireworks on 7/3 and not 7/5 this year? I’m reading conflicting reports online.
Elena, yes! Here’s the link to Disney’s official calendar.
Thank you so much Sarah!
