It’s the Fourth of July, and we’re just so happy to say that we’ll be able to watch FIREWORKS in Disney World to celebrate!

Happily Ever After Fireworks

In honor of the holiday, the parks have extended their hours and Park Passes have continued to be booked quickly.

So, buckle up, because we’re giving you a look at what the crowds looked like in the park during the Fourth of July!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

When we headed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom first thing in the morning, there were plenty of other guests who were also excited to celebrate the Fourth of July in Disney World!

Now that Casey’s Corner is back open, guests were VERY excited to head to the fan-favorite location. Much of the seating had been taken up for everyone to kick their holiday off with a hot dog and corn dog nuggets!

After we enjoyed our own little treat at Casey’s, we were off to explore the rest of the Magic Kingdom!
