I considered going to the Magic Kingdom to see its July 4th fireworks... but apparently everyone else thought that too, so its huge parking lot was completely full (according to every sign I passed) by the time I was heading towards it. I decided this was all for the better, since I didn't feel like having to deal with a full park.
