July 4 Events at Walt Disney World!!

The Walt Disney World Resort is famous as a place for a daily grand celebration, but Independence Day is shaping up to be even bigger.

Let us count the ways.

Fireworks
On July 3 and 4, Disney will have an even bigger fireworks celebration called “Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky.” It can be seen at the Magic Kingdom and nearby hotels.

Patriotic fireworks display, “The Heartbeat of Freedom,” will follow the new nighttime EPCOT fireworks show “Luminous the Symphony of Us.” Performances will take place July 3 and 4.

Special Military Appreciation
“Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors” is a special exhibit from the George W. Bush Institute that debuted June 9 at EPCOT. Reflecting President Bush’s personal commitment to military veterans and the ongoing work of the Bush Institute’s Veteran and Military Families Program, this art exhibit brings together more than 60 oil paintings by President Bush of service members and veterans who have served in military uniform with honor since 9/11 and whom the President has come to know personally since leaving office.

Music and Dance
DJs will be spinning tunes in front of Cinderella's Castle and throughout the park so you can get your Independent Day groove on.

While visiting EPCOT, guests will be treated to the sounds of Americana as the legendary a ca****la vocal group Voices of Liberty performs patriotic numbers in the rotunda of The American Adventure. Performances will take place throughout the day.

Photo Opportunities
Your favorite Disney characters will be all decked out in red, white and blue for photos at The American Adventure at EPCOT. Also getting into the spirit. In celebration of the holiday, the iconic Spaceship Earth at EPCOT will be illuminated in bright red, white and blue colors at night.

Food and Merch
There will be a mix of new items and traditional favorites for you to consume, and just so you know, they will be listed on the Disney Blog beginning June 25. The Disney Americana Collection can be found for a limited time at World of Disney at Disney Springs, Emporium at Magic Kingdom, Creations Shop at EPCOT, Discovery Trading Company at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and online at DisneyStore.com.

Disney Resorts
Select Disney Resort hotels get into the spirit with classic summertime fun, from surprise character appearances, campfires, sing-alongs and marshmallow roasts to Movies Under the Stars and children’s activities.

Old town is amazing! Always something to do and such a vibrant place.
We were lucky enough to be there during Corpus Christi day and saw the great decorations and beautiful procession.

Corpus Christi is celebrated sixty days after Easter Sunday, always coinciding on Thursday. This traditional Feast of the Catholic Church starts in the late Middle Ages and is dedicated to the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Christ, in its representation by means of bread and wine.

Port Aventura hotels and park has a few food options, these are my opinions on some of the options:

El Coyote - At the El Paso Hotel - We had a sit-down dinner here while at the hotel. The staff was very nice and accommodating as we did not have a reservation and they fit us in. The waitress was very sweet as well. The food was average. We had fajitas, but the portion was on the small side and didn't come with the normal accompaniments of lettuce, cheese and sour cream etc. The wine was good though, but most of the wine anywhere is Spain is great!
If you're hungry and don't want to leave the hotel, this is a decent option, just make a reservation if possible.

The Iron Horse at Port Aventura Park -
We ate here for lunch, and the food was very basic and not that great. Honestly It was not worth the price, and we probably would have been better just getting fast food from the park stands instead. The porch was nice to sit on though, as you can people watch as you eat your lunch.

Vinosfera Tapes at Port Aventura Park -
This place was great! I wished I would have found this sooner. It is located near the front of the park in the Mediterranean section and when you walk by it looks like a small cafe with tables outside....its not. Once you go to the host stand, there is a huge restaurant inside with great ac to cool down from the park. Also, it is very cozy and a perfect place to take a break. Apart from that, the food is very good, and they have typical Spanish Tapas, and wine selections.
It is kid friendly too and they have a nice kid's menu. The food comes out fast and this service is great too.
I really recommend this restaurant; it is a secret hidden place to relax when taking a break from rides. *Pics below.

Cavallino Restaurant - Ferrari Land -
This restaurant is beautiful inside, the decor is really welcoming. They have the typical pizzas, and some pasta. The food is pretty average and without much flavor. It is pretty though! *Pics below.

**The best pick of all*** This one is off property in Salou, but the House of Illusions was amazing! Dinner and a spectacular show, with all drinks included. The show itself is really great and it is a perfect night out for families! I wrote up a full review on it with photos in a separate post if you want to check it out!

I wanted to go somewhere to celebrate my husband's birthday and found this place which was near Port Aventura and had great reviews.
Let me tell you it was amazing!
The magic and illusions were incredible and I still can't understand how they made them happen! They have a great atmosphere, lively environment, and is perfect for families.
If you get the dinner package all the food and drinks are included and of course the main attraction is the show. You can also just go for the show and drinks package as well. I highly recommend going if you are in the area and you can fit it in... Your family will love it!
Link below for availability and tickets! Check out the great photos as well.
