    Hi. I would like to know the event times for the Disney Fantasy Parade and the Happily Ever After fireworks for the 4th and 5th of July.

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Benita!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! It looks like you will be arriving in a few weeks - WOO HOO! This is so exciting! I think it's about time to pull out your luggage and pack your Mickey ears because the countdown has begun. OH, and Mickey and Minnie just told me they can't wait to "See You Real Soon!"

    What a great question! At this time, we don't have the schedule that far out for the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade, but it usually happens at 3:00 PM. Happily Ever After fireworks are currently scheduled for 9:20 p.m. on July 5th, and it’s a must-see with its dazzling projections and unforgettable music. However, this fireworks spectacular will not be showing on July 4th. But don’t worry—something even more enchanting is lighting up the skies that evening! On July 4th, the fireworks will be "Disney’s Celebrate America! – A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky" at 9:20 PM. It’s a patriotic, heart-pounding show filled with red, white, and blue MAGIC that wraps the night in pure Disney wonder! I cannot express to you how much you are going to LOVE this fireworks display!

    Visiting Disney World during the Fourth of July timeframe is an unforgettable and AWESOME experience, but it’s also one of the busiest days of the year. This means a little planning goes a long way. Arriving early is key, especially if you're heading to Magic Kingdom, as the parks can reach capacity. July in Florida brings plenty of heat and humidity, so be sure to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and take breaks in air-conditioned attractions to keep cool. Make the most of the My Disney Experience app to check wait times, order food, and definitely take advantage of reserving Lightning Lane passes for your family!

    If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way we can!

    Have a MAGICAL day!
