It's one of the busiest days of the year to be sure, but bad is relative. There will be huge crowds and it will likely be very hot. Lots of people go to enjoy the fireworks in the evening but the whole day will be extremely busy. It is definitely possible to have an excellent 4th at Disneyland. With you and about 65K of your closest friends!
