Accidentally been once during 4th of July week. Let me just say, while the MK fireworks were great. NEVER AGAIN will I go that week! :jawdrop:

I was at the GF yesterday and was asked if i have a reservation, we walked over to the poly after and the beach was packed 1hr before the fireworks. 30-15mins before they started, everyone in the pool area swarmed the beach making it even more crowded. The hotel was offering people towels to sit on the beach with and to dry the chairs. I took my own chairs and sat in front of the fire pit. Great view, was able to record the whole thing as well.

Expect a Hard Close at ALL MK & EPCOT RESORTS. Meaning Poly, GF, Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge, Campground, Yacht & Beach and Boardwalk. This means there is no parking there unless you have a ressie. Pulling the "I'm meeting a friend," "I'm going to the bar," or "I'm going to dinner" lines simply will not work unless you have a reservation at that resort or are staying there.

@tikiman reporting magic bands are being scanned at the poly beach. Long overdue

Im have reservations at the GF. Then we will catch a spot by the water. I was thinking about going to the poly beach but you reminded me of the construction.

I don't think that will be happening this year.

That was limited time magic which hasn't been repeating all that often.

If I'm not mistaken, they announced the week long celebration at the end of June last year so here's hoping, too.

Just an obvious reminder… The Polynesian beach is not a viable option for fireworks, or at least not in the ways it has been in the past. Construction is ongoing for the DVC expansion as well as you will not be able to park there without a reservation.

Never been on the 4th, but it sure would be nice even despite the crowds!:(

My 32 birthday - did I just say that :) I spend my 31st at the Magic Kingdom and it was absolutely amazing!! The fireworks show that night was quite possibly the best fireworks I have ever saw. And a few cast members sang happy birthday to me. Truly once in a lifetime

I'm hoping you can get FP for this.

So they're going to have the Fife and Drum Corps... how about a REAL drum and bugle corps? A Drum Corps International group or a Drum Corps Associates group... heck, I'd settle for a mini corps (same as a regular drum corps only with 21 members)... That'd light up AA's main stage... They could even parade the world through the countries!!! I miss FutureCorps :(
