I love how Illuminations is literally a Salute to All Nations: But Mostly America for the 4th of July.
This is my 1st year going on 4th of July as we are passholders now. Does the park usually reach a level of capacity where passholders are denied entrance on the 4th? I was thinking of going early and coming back in the evening for the fireworks.
It honestly depends on the year and the crowd levels, it has happened in the past.
At a glance, most of the things listed here happen every day anyway, besides the thing at Grand Floridian. Am I missing something?
Epcot only has the spical 4th final only on the 4th and and magic kingdom only has the spical fireworks on the 3rd and 4th. Everything else is the same as it is on most nights
