Showtimes are now posted for the Fourth of July fireworks at Walt Disney World, and this year there's a notable change at both Magic Kingdom and EPCOT: the shows are scheduled across three nights for the first time.
Disney's Celebrate America! – A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky runs July 3, 4, and 5 at 9pm at Magic Kingdom. EPCOT is also hosting its July 4 fireworks show across multiple nights – something that doesn't typically happen.
Typically, Magic Kingdom hosts its Independence Day fireworks two nights, and EPCOT just one.

America's 250th Anniversary
The fireworks are part of Disney Celebrating America, a company-wide initiative marking the nation's 250th anniversary. On July 4, the shows at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Park will serve as the finale of Disney Celebrates America – a 24-hour, multi-platform broadcast airing across Disney+, Hulu, ABC, ESPN, Freeform, FX, and National Geographic.
ABC's David Muir leads the broadcast, alongside ABC News anchors, ESPN commentators, and National Geographic Explorers. Disney hasn't confirmed whether the fireworks segments will air live or pre-recorded.
