Limited Time Magic: Independence Day Celebration for a full week.

As a part of “Limited Time Magic” Walt Disney World is extending the celebration of Independence Day to a full week.  The celebration begins July 1 and runs through July 7.  The Magic Kingdom will offer nightly fireworks spectaculars with 360 degree explosive blasts to allow you to be surrounded in the magic.

At Walt Disney World Resort, the July Fourth fireworks spectacular will rocket into the air above Cinderella Castle every night with “Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky.” The dazzling display at Magic Kingdom Park will be orchestrated to an upbeat musical tribute to America as patriotic lighting covers the Castle.

Walt Disney World Resort guests will also be treated to a fun-filled spectacle as Goofy, Donald and Pluto, dressed as a colonial fife and drum corps, join a spirited procession down Main Street, U.S.A, prior to the daily Celebrate a Dream Come True parade at Magic Kingdom Park.
