For some reason I have never been that big of a fan of fireworks or parades. Fireworks are better than parades though.
Given that the Fourth of July fireworks are on the Fourth of July, it is HOT and HUMID.
I would rather be in the AC.
However, for years I have worked a Fourth of July fireworks event. Sometimes I get to see a bit of the show, lately not so much.
Nothing compared to WDW. Not even close.
Last night I was working the fireworks. At 3:30 there was no rain on radar but there were storm warnings up for the counties bordering VA. At 3:45 pretty big storms had popped up in the border counties. When I left home at 4:30 I could see the big boomer clouds to the north. By 5:00 it was raining in buckets with strong winds. Rained even harder with a few breaks until 8:15 when the fireworks were canceled.
At least the rain dropped the temperature from 92 to 72!
The BEST fireworks show I have ever seen was at WDW.
It was on the kids first trip to WDW. We went to MSNSHP which was way too late for the kids at that age. We forgot the time and stood in line for the kids first ride on Dumbo.
I looked at the time and it was almost 9:00.
We were on Dumbo when the fireworks started. The kids first ride on Dumbo was during the fireworks.
Tis hard to beat that fireworks show. Though the Illuminations Cruise tied it.
