Disney fans are invited to tune in from around the world to watch ‘Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky’ live from Magic Kingdom on the 4th of July. In case you missed the live stream, you can watch the replay HERE.
A fuzzy cast of Muppets – Miss Piggy, Kermit, Fozzie Bear and friends – reenact famous moments in American history in a whimsical way during “The Muppets Present … Great Moments in History.” The live show is performed several times daily near the Hall of Presidents in Liberty Square.
FUN FACT: The Liberty Bell in Liberty Square is a replica cast from the same mold of the original in Philadelphia; it was placed in Magic Kingdom Park in recognition of the bicentennial of the United States Constitution in 1987.

July 4th, 2019
Select theme parks and resorts will offer exclusive dessert items in honor of Independence Day.
TIPS:
***Please note these days are some of the busiest of
the year. If you are visiting a theme park
during this holiday, you should arrive early
and expect to stay for the remainder of
the day.
Historically, the parks do reach capacity
and guests will no longer be able to enter once this occurs. Having a dining reservation will not
get you into the park once it is closed.
If you are staying at a Disney Resort, you are guaranteed entry to a theme park, but not necessarily the one of your choosing. Again, get to the park early and plan on making a full day of it.
