Hehehe ... you're right, there were some very enthusiastic guests around me. Don't get me wrong -- I am glad the fireworks enhanced their Disney experience, but one stranger next to me was screaming while holding up her child and asking the young one: "Do you see that? ... Look at that one!" throughout most of the fireworks. She even repeatedly jumped up-and-down -- while still holding her child -- and bumped into me a couple times during the show.

I was hoping the music and boom of the fireworks would drown out some of their chatter and screams, but it does add a little to the atmosphere and shows the excitement of the crowd.

Overall, the fact that Disneyland presented versions of the July 4th fireworks over four nights probably helped reduce the crowds throughout the weekend. And it's much better than July 4, 2008 when the fireworks were halted half-way through the show due to high winds.
