Hi there, Laura - welcome to

Thanks so much for stopping by with your question for our team of panelists. We love to help Guests just like you plan your very own, very magical, Walt Disney World Resort holidays!
Celebration at the Top: 50th Flavors & Fireworks at
Disney's Contemporary Resort is a fun and sophisticated evening full of delicious bites, sips, and of course, kabooms! I had the pleasure of enjoying this event a few months ago, and it was truly magical. This isn't your standard dessert party fare - the food was exquisite and there tons of beverage options at the open bar. It was a perfect substitute for dinner for us. Plus, you just can't beat the private viewing location for fireworks!
Unlike some of the more common evening events within the Theme Parks, Celebration at the Top is only offered on a few evenings each month. I did just check the availability calendar, and for late September, it looks like the 24th is the only night this event is being offered, and I noticed that there currently isn't any availability. This, like most dining and Enchanting Extras reservations, can be made starting 60 days in advance, which means the calendar should be up to date through mid-October.
I have seen dates added and removed from booking calendars before, so I encourage you to keep checking to see if additional evenings are added, or if availability opens up on another date that works for your crew. Other Guests' plans change all the time, and when they cancel, you can scoop up that reservation! I will also mention that when we attended, an additional person in our crew not included on our reservation also wanted to attend. We visited the California Grill podium when it opened at 5 p.m. and spoke to a Cast Member. They informed us that there had been a last minute cancellation and welcomed our additional Guest to purchase a ticket. If all else fails, and this is a must-do activity for you, I suggest stopping by and seeing what options might be available.
Regardless of what happens, you'll have an amazing trip next month!
The 50th Anniversary Celebration is in full swing, and you can always check out the other exciting
Enchanting Extras to enhance the magic during your holiday!
