Cartoon eagle and owl dressed in festive patriotic outfits smiling above “Celebrate America!” with a vibrant red, white, and blue border—ideal for celebrating the Fourth of July at Disney Parks or during any magical day at the Happiest Place on Earth.

What better place to celebrate the birth of our nation than at the American institution known as Disneyland? Our regular semi-weekly series “INSIDE Disneyland Resort” continues this week with a full Independence Day spent at both the original Magic Kingdom and its sister theme park Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, California.

Throughout the day, we enjoyed special moments, marches, and musical performances featuring the 1st Marine Division Band, checked on the progress for future developments at Pixar Pier, and even spotted some of those very popular new balloons inspired by Disney/Pixar’s “Up”!

One definite highlight of Disneyland’s Fourth of July celebration was the 1st Marine Division Band’s full-length musical concert in the Fantasyland Theatre, during which they performed a terrific selection of patriotic ditties and traditional anthems, along with a couple tracks straight out of “Coco” and “The Incredibles”.
