In addition to fireworks, the Magic Kingdom enhances the experience with patriotic narration and perfectly timed music. Magic Kingdom typically displays the Fourth of July fireworks on both July 3 and July 4. We like to visit on the 3rd because it tends to be less busy.
We started our July 4 celebration by visiting Disney's Polynesian resort for a quick bite to eat at Captain Cooks. We decided to split a Hawaiian Flatbread Pizza and a side of fries:
The flatbread was a whole wheat crust which my husband didn't care for at all. I guess it was OK for the Hawaiian pizza, but I think I'd like it a lot less on the pepperoni variety. The sauce was very light - just about non-existent. The ham and pineapple topping was OK too, but very tiny (chopped) pieces. I wasn't pleased that it also included red onion. One of my pet peeves is not disclosing all ingredients in a menu description. There was no mention of the onion in either the paper menu we were handed at the door nor the self-serve on-screen ordering system.
The side order of fries was miserly. At at cost of $2.50, each individual fry cost us about 10 cents each. Captain Cooks didn't used to offer fries. We joked that maybe they put a Fry Baby back there and could only cook two dozen fries at a time.
After pizza, we enjoyed the Magic Kingdom "Celebrate America - A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky" fireworks show. My favorite part is always the grand finale:
