1) was in MK for 4th of july in 05. it was packed to the brim and it got closed. Epcot did not, but epcot handles crowds the best out of the 4 parks. most big name attractions have high capacity there. MK is more popular with the kiddies. (but i did miss the special ROE). ROE is much better than socery in the sky. I would recommend EP instead of DHS.

That was a great night to work! The fireworks were shown on the 3rd and 4th.
On the 3rd I was assigned randomed jobs in tomorrowland...the computer kept telling me to do buckets so I just watched the fireworks.
It was so packed

Well, I will be in Hollywood Studios on the 4th. We decided to plan out our day including a dinner reservation in the park so I hope it does not fill up. I guess it is off the plane and into the park as fast as you can to not get closed out.

We have spent the past 2 summers at Disney World during the July 4th holiday. It is busy but not impossible. People are nice. We are ll there for the same reason--to be happy. The fireworks from the porch of Narcossees are spectacular!

I think I would get a room at the Swan or Dolphin and watch them from there

I also spoke to a couple diff cast memeber about feasabilty (most thought it was doable but very tight- one thought it wouldnt be).

Thanks for asking the CMs for me!

There's going to be about 30-45 minutes between the ending of "Sorcery in July"

and the start of the Illuminations tag. I watched some youtube videos and while the fireworks at epcot were cool, I liked the patriotic music through time that the mgm fireworks use.

I think I'm going to go through with the plan and see mgm's display from the park exit end of Hollywood blvd. and then walk to epcot. The only thing is that I'm not sure if the entance turnstiles will be closed by that time of night. If they are I'm sure we can watch them from somewhere on the boardwalk. Thanks for all the feedback everyone!

Good luck with that. I will be happy and settle for just the MGM Sorcery in the Sky. I'll probably hang around mid Hollywood Blvd. You gotta love the mad dash that will happen after it is over!
