It is a BIG day in Disney World!

We Are Ready for Fireworks!

It’s been over a year since we last saw a full-out fireworks spectacular in Disney World. Sure, we’ve seen fireworks testing here and there, but today is the day that we’ll get to watch Disney World fireworks shows in ALL. THEIR. GLORY. again! But, of course, we’re not the only ones who are excited. Wonder what the crowds in the parks look like right now? We’re sharing all the details here with you!

Right now, we’ve got reporters in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT where we’ll see the return of Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever, respectively. But, they’re not there alone.

For now, let’s take a look at the crowd levels in Magic Kingdom. As we made our way into the park, things weren’t too bad at first.

You could see many of them sitting down, hoping to get a good spot ahead of the big event.

Get That Spot Early

The crowds got more dense the closer we got to Cinderella Castle.

And as the time for the fireworks drew nearer, the crowds got larger.

WOW

Here’s a peek at that crowd. This is the view toward Main Street, U.S.A.

That’s a LOT of People

Let’s just say, we weren’t the only ones excited for the fireworks.

We’re Definitely Not Alone!

Here’s another look at those crowds.

But, our reporter noted that it didn’t feel too crowded.

Here’s Another Look at the Crowds

Just about 15 minutes or so before the start of the show, there were quite a few guests waiting for EPCOT Forever to begin.
