NOTE: Fireworks can be very loud and scary to young children as well as dogs.
A great alternative is to throw some blankets on the floor and watch Disney World Happily Ever After Fireworks Display on YouTube. Honestly, it is incredible. Better than most of the fireworks displays I had ever attended. No crowds, no packing up quickly to race home. Just the family together, watching fireworks in the living room. Whether your planning to visit a fireworks display or not, I definitely suggest giving this one a try!
