    We are going to be in Disney Springs on August 9 2024 for dinner. Will we be able to enjoy fireworks, not from the aerial balloon ride but from the ground?

    Hello Marta, welcome to planDisney!

    Thanks for visiting planDisney with a great question, your day at Disney Springs is nearly here! Disney Springs has many fantastic restaurants and shops, I love wandering around and exploring what’s new. 

    Unfortunately, Disney Springs is not a great area for views of the fireworks. If you’re set on seeing fireworks, the easiest way to do this is to use Disney Transportation and hop on a bus to one of the Magic Kingdom resorts (Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort or Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa). Both of these resorts have a fantastic view of Cinderella Castle over Seven Seas Lagoon. Guests can experience Happily Ever After, a nighttime spectacular, from a different viewpoint and still hear the heart-swelling music that’s piped in so Guests can truly feel like they are part of the experience. 

    Luminous - The Symphony of Us is a bit trickier to see and there is not somewhere with a clear view of the experience. You can try and head to Disney’s Beach Club Resort or Disney’s Boardwalk Resort  (again, by bus). If you walk around the Boardwalk area, you can catch some of the higher fireworks. 

    If you are looking for a neat experience, you can catch the drone show: Disney Dreams That Soar. This show is right at Disney Springs and has two showings per night: 9:00 PM and 10:45 PM (weather dependent). Guests will see hundreds of drones choreographed to create images of beloved Disney characters in the sky with a moving musical score in the background. The waterfront viewing areas are the best place to view the show and are on a first-come, first-served basis. 

    I hope you have a wonderful dinner at Disney Springs and choose one of these experiences to follow. Enjoy making magical memories!

    You’ve got a friend in me,
    Candace
