Has anyone ever been I the parks on the 4th of July? I know a lot of passes have blackout days, but does it still have big crowds like other holidays? TIA!
HEAVY crowds... But last year, I stayed for about 5 hours, and saw 8 celebrities! Celebs kids have off, and celebs get a break on July 4th, so they have to take them that day... and they come in flocks! - LaTruce

I worked 4th of July back in 2008 and it was ridiculous. There are so many people and it's really hard to get around and actually do things. The fireworks are amazing, and they have a special WoC with fireworks too. The park usually reaches capacity pretty quick, so if you are going to go, I would suggest going very early and expecting tons of people to be there. - CMJenKWorth

As a former CM, I agree that it is very crowded, but on the other hand, the fireworks etc. on the 4th are even more awesome than usual and the patriotic decorations are worth experiencing as well. - radiator

I thought it wasn't as crowded last year as I would have expected, but still crowded. It helps that most passes are blocked out. Expect crowds, long lines, and don't try to do all the E-tickets. Take some time to appreciate the less popular attractions- Tiki Room, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, etc. The fireworks were beautiful, I even cried a little, and I'm not a particularly patriotic person. - brit-brit

Dang, but oh well. We chose to go on the 4th, so we will just enjoy the time. Hope its not packed every day of our 5 day stay. - adventuremickey

It's summer, so it will be busy. To make the most of your time, get there at opening and spend the first two hours getting on E ticket rides and collecting fast passes. After that, slow down and enjoy the rest of the day at at saner pace. - BRabbit 312.0 #550 5:26PM
Last year it was really quiet. But it varies every year - BaseballMickey_CM

Yep- last year, we did a quick trip there to see the fireworks and were shocked at how light the crowds were, considering the holiday. Parked in M - JinglePoe 289.9 #672 5:32PM
