4th of July at Disney World

¡Happy 4th of July everyone! To be honest, we at http://wdwpics.blogspot.com can think of no better place in the world to celebrate Independence Day than Disney World. After all, next to apple pie, there is nothing more American than Mickey Mouse!

On this 4th of July, guests visiting the Disney World parks are in for a few extra special treats. As part of its Limited Time Magic promotion, Disney World is celebrating the holiday all week. Through Sunday you can enjoy WDW's own version of the star-spangled banner in "Disney's Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky" nightly high above Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom. This WDW fireworks spectacular includes an all-new musical score produced in concert band style. The fireworks show is at 9 p.m. on July 3 and 4, and 10 p.m. on July 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7.

Also at Disney World's Magic Kingdom there is a special pre-show celebrating the Spirit of ’76 before the Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade, hosted by Goofy, Donald and Pluto.

On the 4th of July at Epcot, guests can enjoy a special concert of American songs by the Voices of Liberty at America Gardens Theater. A number of favorite Disney characters will be meeting guests outside The American Adventure in patriotic attire. At Sunshine Seasons Bakery in The Land Pavilion in Future World, guests can dine on a red, white and blue Baked Alaska made out of raspberries, white chocolate and blueberry mousse.

Guests at Disney's Hollywood Studios on the 4th can rock out to the brand-new "Rockin' 4th of July Celebration." A DJ and house band, Mulch, Sweat and Shears, will take guests on a rock'n'roll road trip across America at the Sorcerer's Hat Sound Stage. The band will be playing live during the fireworks spectacular that evening at 10 p.m.
