2025 Magic Kingdom’s Fourth of July Fireworks Schedule
Magic Kingdom will host Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky this year on July 3rd and July 4th. Both evenings, the fireworks are scheduled for 9:20 p.m. You can choose which evening you would like to see the fireworks, or watch them both evenings (with a valid admission).
This is the theme park’s typical fireworks schedule. It gives guests the option to see the fireworks on July 3rd and then visit Epcot for a special holiday tag (ending), the Heartbeat of Freedom, which is usually offered only at Epcot on the 4th of July.
As for crowds, we generally prefer to watch Disney’s Celebrate America! on July 3rd. We have found that while it’s congested, it’s typically more pleasant than the actual holiday. That said, we would still secure a prime spot for the evening performance by 7:00 p.m. That’s a long time to wait, but ultimately it’s worth it. When the fireworks end, we always stay in our spot and let the crowds start to clear out. If you’re not staying in the Magic Kingdom Resorts Area and have to take a car or bus back to your resort, you might prefer to wait at least an hour.
At publish time, Magic Kingdom is scheduled to close at 11:00 p.m. on both evenings. That’s a bit disappointing, and we hope they extend these hours. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case in recent years. So you’ll want to check the park’s hours of operation for any changes before your visit. In case you missed it, we recently shared a list of 4th of July holiday treats announced for 2025.
