PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 It does not mention Epcot having special 4th of July fireworks. Is that an oversight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 It does not mention Epcot having special 4th of July fireworks. Is that an oversight?I noticed that too, but another web site says Epcot has the July 4th version of Illuminations at 10PM and the Disney World site shows Illuminations at 10 as well. I also noticed the Fort schedule shows the Magic Kingdom fireworks at 9, while the other sites show it at 10PM. They also show the MSEP at 10:15, which doesn't give much time for the fireworks and to clear out the street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 They were wrong on the MK fireworks (I edited the post). They did have Epcot listed in the details of the full article, not sure why they listed them differently than the other parks. Here's the official parks Times Guide. Shows MK fireworks at 9pm, Epcot at 10pm and HS at 10:15... http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/p/weekly-walt-disney-world-times-guides.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I think it would be possible to watch the MK fireworks at the MK, then bolt to Epcot (probably via a Beach Club bus and entering through International Gateway) and see Illuminations from there. Then head out the International Gateway, and see the DHS fireworks from somewhere around Crescent Lake. That might be fun. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You just prevented a possible fireworks fiasco if we showed up for the Magic Kingdom fireworks at 10! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
