    Is Fort Wilderness Fireworks beach still there? And can you see the fireworks display from it? Trying to figure out where to go to for our 4th July celebrations!

    Hiya Matthew,


    Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your fireworks question. I have to say—Fourth of July at Walt Disney World is one of my absolute favorite holidays! While I love celebrating all the seasons in the parks, there's just something extra magical about seeing the sky light up in red, white, and blue with Cinderella Castle as the backdrop. My family had the chance to experience it last year, and from the stunning nighttime spectaculars in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT to spotting characters in their patriotic best at The American Adventure pavilion, it was a star-spangled dream!

    Now, let’s spark right into your question—yes, you can catch Magic Kingdom’s fireworks from the beach at Fort Wilderness Resort! While you might not see all of the castle projections from that location, the grand bursts of fireworks still paint the sky in dazzling colors, and the atmosphere by the water is truly special. It’s a peaceful and unique way to enjoy the celebration.

    And here’s a helpful tip for your visit: Florida can bring the heat in July, so be sure to pack a refillable water bottle. You’ll find bottle refill stations all across the theme parks and resorts to help you stay cool and hydrated while you celebrate.

    Matthew, I hope this helps with your plans! If you have any more questions as your adventure gets closer, feel free to swing by planDisney again.

    See you real soon,

    Christina
