Hi Shannon! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy! You're less than a month away until you arrive for an unforgettable Walt Disney World stay! Dining is always a big factor for me during the planning process since I love trying all the different types of cuisines that are offered at Disney Dining locations. Disney's Yacht Club Resort has some top choices, including
Ale & Compass Restaurant and
Yachtsman Steakhouse.
When dining at one of the locations offered here,
self-parking is complimentary for Guests. When you arrive, you'll need to provide your last name on the dining reservation and possibly the confirmation number to the Cast Member at the gate. You're typically allotted about two to three hours to park for your dining reservation, which should give you plenty of time to see the fireworks display from the resort. I was over in this location a few weeks ago and we had a wonderful view of the nighttime spectacular from the dock by the Yacht Club Resort.
Shannon, as you may already be aware, a new nighttime show recently debuted at EPCOT.
Luminous The Symphony of Us is now showing each night and I've heard amazing reviews of it so far. I cannot wait until my next visit to catch it in person!
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a fantastic Disney vacation. Having a trip planned to start the new year is the perfect idea!
See ya real soon!
