Top Spots to View July 4th Fireworks at the Disneyland® Park

Disneyland Guide 4th of July Fireworks Shows

Make this the year you declare independence from ordinary fireworks by taking in the one-of-a-kind display at the Disneyland® Resort.

For the Fourth of July holiday, Disney Parks Live Entertainment inject an extra dose of patriotism with All-American pre-shows, rousing music, and an unforgettable firework homage to our nation’s birthday!

The Disneyland® Park fireworks are as American as apple pie and so is their history. The first fireworks show at the Park kicked off in 1956 with the launch of a luminous pyrotechnics show called “Fantasy in the Sky” paving the way for more shows to follow. In 1961, our favorite pixie, Tinker Bell took her debut flight over Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Since then, Disney has always been known for taking entertainment to the next level and they’re still innovating. Shows feature breathtaking special effects including hypnotic fog and lasers, animated projections, and massive pyrotechnics.

While these fireworks will dazzle and amaze from any corner of the Park, some areas offer a unique perspective on the action. Consult our guide full of veteran Park knowledge to choose the location that best suits your crew, or if you’re a veteran Park goer yourself, perhaps you’ll find a new spot for viewing in a whole new way.
