Following the announcement earlier today that fireworks are returning to Walt Disney World on July 1 2021, we also now have some additional information regarding plans for July 4 and 'Disney After Hours Boo Bash.'

EPCOT Forever will be shown at EPCOT on July 4

On July 4 Disney will present 'Happily Ever After' at the Magic Kingdom, and 'EPCOT Forever' at EPCOT. Neither show will include any July 4 tags, or special editions of the shows. Disney is concentrating efforts on returning to daily firework shows at this time.

Happily Ever After will be shown on July 4 at Magic Kingdom

During the ticketed 'Disney After Hours Boo Bash' at Magic Kingdom, 'Happily Ever After' will be performed prior to the start of the event during regular park hours.

The revenues from parks are used to the tune of 40%+ to bankroll the whole she-bang Don’t think they “have got us”

So if attendance was down, they'd invest in adding capacity for the reduced attendance to... Fill?

SirwalterraleighAug 13, 2023

Not true at all.

If we don't go, they'll see a loss in revenue and cut further. Wouldn't it be better to embrace investment in new attractions by buying all the fastpass es for tron? 😂 We can't win this one

Amen. Or be like Disneyland APs and make t-shirts that say "undesirables" on them, and then put them on, and then go to the park. Ya... That will show em!!!

The party nights are sparsely filled to capacity.

You know what…I totally get you. Except taking it personally…not at all. I know what the deal is so it’s Never personal. One thing that is far too personal around here is failure to admit Disney rough patches (not you)…as if it matters to us. Actually…it does matter..we should withhold our business more to force them to improve their offerings

Ok. Perhaps you thought I was going to argue? I am not. Both things can be true at the same time, I can be making light of the situation about how much everyone has talked about attendance being down, while also completely agree with your numbers above. I'm not sure why you took it personally. You shouldn't have. It was not directed at you. Nor anyone else.

Bet that sounded cute, huh? Here’s what you should consider: a 5% drop in wdw attendance is a disaster internally…it translates to a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues annually They just copped to a 6% drop…in a veiled sorta way…for the quarter. People who are paid to massage numbers as much as possible for financial gain.

Well theoretically according to the news, v bloggers and many people on this forum, every day is a low crowd day at the match kingdom now. 🙂

Which actually makes it the perfect day to go to MK - unless you really want to see the fireworks. Especially if you have hoppers and can hop to another park afterwards. The non party days are far more crowded right from rope drop. Many guests feel the lower crowds on a party day more than makes up for the shorter hours.
