Hi there, Roger, and welcome to planDisney!
If you're anything like me, fireworks are an absolute
must on every Walt Disney World vacation. There's just something so magical about ending your day with that extra bit of pixie dust! I'll be honest - when it comes to
Happily Ever After and
Luminous The Symphony of Us, I love to watch from inside the parks whenever I possibly can. There's just something about the music and storytelling that melts my heart every time! But, Roger, I'm also a BIG fan of a room with a view - especially when that view is a dazzling nighttime display! So let's take a look at your options.
Unfortunately, Disney Resorts Collection hotels in the immediate Disney Springs area generally don't provide fireworks views. This includes Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, Disney's Old Key West Resort, Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, and Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside.
However, you can sometimes score a fireworks-view room from certain Disney Springs Area resorts. For instance, the
Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista and the
Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace both offer rooms with fireworks views. Just be aware that these hotels are not owned and operated by Disney, and as such, they don't offer all the same
benefits you'll get at a Disney Resort Collection hotel.
Now, if you'd rather stay at an official Disney resort, there are PLENTY of options for fireworks views! My family has enjoyed the fireworks from rooms at Disney's BoardWalk Inn, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. We've watched from our balconies in our PJ's, from resort pools in our bathing suits, and even from our beds with cocktails in hand! Other deluxe resorts with fireworks-view rooms include Disney's Contemporary Resort and Disney's Riviera Resort.
If those sound a little too spendy, I have even more great news! You can also get fireworks views from several of Disney's moderate resorts, like
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort and
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. I recently stayed at Caribbean Beach with a few of my planDisney pals, and I drifted off to sleep watching the fireworks from the comfort of my own bed!
I hope this is helpful, Roger, and that your upcoming visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth is shining, shimmering, splendid! If you have any other planning questions, you know
where to find me right here at planDisney!
Magic awaits,
Allison
