And the rockets red glare…magical fireworks bursting in air…It's Fourth of July magic as only Disney can do it at Walt Disney World. Come celebrate the party with three special fireworks displays rarely seen throughout the year except on special occasions and this year's Fourth of July, is one not to miss!

The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney's Hollywood Studios will each present pyrotechnic displays that will surely dazzle Disney guests in each of the three theme parks with all of the patriotic fanfare that Disney can muster. This year, guests have their choice of three celebrations:

• Lighting up the skies over the Magic Kingdom will be the "Celebrate America Fireworks" spectacular. And because of the holiday falling over the weekend, guests will be able to enjoy the special show on both July 3 and July 4 at 9:00 p.m. Following the fireworks will be "SpectroMagic" light parade at 10:30 p.m. The night will surely be a spectacle of dazzling lights!
• At Epcot, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, the nightly fireworks show over World Showcase Lagoon, will add a special patriotic overlay at the end of the lights, lasers, and fireworks extravaganza! This special edition will be shown only on the night of July 4 at 10:00 p.m. when the park stays open for an extra hour for more Epcot fun!
• Disney's Hollywood Studios will feature a bonus addition to the "Fantasmic!" and offer two shows at 9:00 and 10:45 p.m. only on July 4 so guests will have two opportunities on the same evening to catch the show.

With three magical ways to celebrate the birth of our nation at Walt Disney World, how does one choose? Remember, the Magic Kingdom is the only park to offer the special fireworks show on July 3 and July 4.
