BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Haven't seen official Disney confirmation yet, but Inside the Magic is reporting on the upcoming Limited Time Magic... As part of Limited Time Magic, Walt Disney World is expanding their Fourth of July celebration to an entire week, featuring nightly fireworks at the Magic Kingdom for seven days. Independence Week will take place July 1-7, 2013 featuring a patriotic extravaganza across multiple theme parks. At Magic Kingdom, a 15-minute 360-degree fireworks spectacular will rocket into the air every night with ”Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky.” Also part of the daily festivities will be Goofy, Donald and Pluto leading a spirited procession down Main Street, U.S.A, prior to the daily Celebrate a Dream Come True parade. The pre-parade will feature the Main Street Philharmonic, Citizens of Main Street and Walt Disney’s historic horse-drawn calliope. Patriotic-themed merchandise and tasty treats inspired by Americana will also be on the menu all week long.Then on July 4th only, Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will join in the Independence Day celebration. At Epcot, guests will be able to meet with Disney characters adorned in patriotic dress and witness a patriotic performance by the Voices of Liberty at 12:30 p.m. in the America Gardens Theatre, also featuring the Spirit of America Fife and Drum Corps and Disney characters.

Pool guy Mickey 8 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I thought about bringing some fireworks, but I don't think FW will approve. Plus my business partner only buys the big stuff. He's has a pyro license. I'll stick to the light show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I can't find a link, but I recall them announcing this week long fireworks thing and the Friday the 13th DHS Villains Dance Party when they first announced the LTM promotion. I see that the quote you posted mentions that the historic calliope will be in use at the MK. This is not something I have heard before. That would be cool to see.
