It’s almost here…the Fourth of July weekend in Disney World, and it’s going to be a HUGE celebration. First, you’ll be able to ride Soarin’ Across America in EPCOT, a special version of the ride that celebrates all things U.S.A., as well as America’s 250th anniversary. You’ll also be able to see characters dressed up in patriotic gear at the American Adventure Pavilion in EPCOT. PLUS, there will be a special Fourth of July fireworks show on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th at both EPCOT and Magic Kingdom.

Of course, we have to mention all the Fourth of July snacks, too, but something ELSE super special is coming to Disney World. So if you’re in Disney World for the Fourth of July, we’re going to tell you to look up because a special show will be happening in the skies over the resort.
Disney has posted a community notice for cast members that, as part of Disney Celebrates America’s 250th anniversary, the U.S. Air Force Reserve’s 920 Rescue Wing from Patrick Space Force Base will do a flyover over Disney World on July 4th. You’ll be able to see the flyover around 10:30 A.M. over Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom and then EPCOT shortly after that.

Disney has warned those who live in the nearby vicinity, as well as guests at Disney World hotels and visitors to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, that there will be increased noise during the flyover event. So if you’ll be in Disney World on July 4th and hear some noise, you’ll know why.

We’ll be in the parks over the weekend and reporting in about the crowds, wait times, and special snacks and entertainment, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more. Happy Fourth of July weekend, everyone!
