The Fourth of July is going to be a holiday comprised of fireworks, music, and good times at the Walt Disney World Resort. To make sure you don’t miss a single second of the action on July 4, 2012, check out the schedule below and know which Disney World park is going to be the best place for you to be.
Crowds are expected to be big as they are every year for this holiday. My suggestion would be to make sure that once you enter a park, you stay there. A number of years, the parks have reached capacity (especially Magic Kingdom) for the Fourth of July.
