There is no better place to celebrate the Fourth of July than the Orlando theme parks! The parks are offering a bevy of Fourth of July celebrations, but one that stands out from the rest is that of Universal Orlando!

Spend the day at Universal Orlando and Islands of Adventure with tons of Universal fun! First, head to Islands of Adventure and experience the different islands that make up the park. Soar along with Spiderman, venture into Jurassic Park, live-out your favorite childhood story books, and more! Then, bounce over to Universal Studios, as the perfect ending to your day. Spend the rest of daylight enjoying riding-out your favorite movies, television shows, and more. Ride along on the Mummy, vacation with the Simpsons on an amazing simulator ride, face the jaws of, well, JAWS, and more!

And, if you are lucky, you may even get a glimpse of the soon-to-be-open Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit running test runs. This ride is going to be intense! We’re talking a full vertical lift, 90 degree drop, a double take loop, and the first-ever Treble Clef loop (to go along with the music theme, of course). Plus, as another first for coasters, the Rip Ride Rockit will feature video cameras, which can document your entire experience while on the ride. The ride was originally supposed to have its opening over Fourth of July weekend, but due to this ride being the world’s most technologically-advanced coaster they need to perfect it to a “T” before opening the ride to eager roller coaster enthusiasts! Patience is a virtue. This ride is going to be awesome!

As the sun sets and the rides come to a close, stay in Universal Studios theme park as the music heats up the night! With your admission ticket to Universal Studios, you can stay in the park for a free concert with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singers the O’Jays! As the singers to hit songs such as “Love Train” and the theme song to Donald Trump’s The Apprentice “For the Love of Money,” you can rock into the night.

As the concert comes to an end, head to the Universal Studios Lagoon where you will see the most spectacular Fourth of July display in Orlando! Universal 360: A Cinesphere Spectacular will feature illuminated floating 360 degree orbs, displaying more than 100 clips of your favorite Universal films. The movie displays will be set to original music and laser & pyrotechnic effects. As the show begins to wrap up, it will switch gears over to a patriotic tribute to the good ole’ red, white, and blue with patriotic displays on the cinespheres and a dazzling firework display from three different areas within the park! The party doesn’t stop there! If you are looking to continue in your Fourth of July celebration festivities, head to Universal CityWalk, for free admission with your Universal Studios ticket.

When visiting the Orlando theme parks for your Fourth of July vacation, there is no better place to feel patriotic than the Hall of Presidents at Magic Kingdom Theme Park. After months of high-tech renovations and the addition of one very special figure, you will want to make sure you head to Liberty Square within Magic Kingdom this upcoming weekend!

The Hall of Presidents is BACK, and better than ever! With a refreshed look and feel, the Hall of Presidents will reopen this Fourth of July weekend with some spectacular new updates. After having its biggest make-over in its 38-year history, guests will be awed by the newest and most life-like addition yet to this famous attraction, the 44th President of the United States Barack Obama. The current president has been added to the other "living" audio-animatronic presidents, from throughout history - Washington, Lincoln, Bush, Clinton, and all of the other historical figures. But, the Obama figure is in a true league of its own!

Obama's animatronic figure has set some new standards for the Presidents in this hall. President Obama, himself, actually has a very hands-on approach to helping to create this life-like figure. Obama not only provided his voice, as did other Presidents such as George Bush and Bill Clinton, but he actually got measured for the part! From his mannerisms to his expressions to his overall body-type, Disney measured Obama to a "T" to get the perfect replica of this historically iconic president. "The audio-animatronic Obama purses its lips to pronounce it's b's and p-'s in a way frighteningly evocative of the real one, and raises its hands, open-palmed, while shruggling its shoulders, in a way that can only be described as Obamaesque. Even the president's wedding ring, with its braided design, has been recreated," wrote Jacques Steinberg.

The animatronic Obama will come to life on the Fourth of July along with the rest of the redesigned attraction. New music, multi-speaker sound systems, visual techniques, and a brand new storyline (narrated by famous actor Morgan Freeman), will all add to this tribute to the American Presidents. Also adding to the overall experience will be a completely new dialogue for President Abe Lincoln. At the opening, Abe Lincoln will recite the Gettysburg Address in its entirety for all to hear. Also, President George Washington will have a speaking role for the first time.

For a true patriotic experience this Fourth of July, make sure you stop by Magic Kingdom Park's Hall of Presidents. Get chills as you hear the life-like, first-ever black President, Obama recite his oath of office, former President Abe Lincoln recite the Gettysburg Address, and as all of the past and present Presidents of the United State state the Constitution in unison. To see this patriotic reopening of this famous attraction get your Disney tickets ahead of time with OrlandoFunTickets.com! Have a great Fourth of July!
