Hi there, Melissa! Welcome to planDisney and Welcome Home! I'm so happy that you've stopped by with your summer vacation planning question. I love chatting with a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member!
Eeeeek! I seriously squealed with excitement when I saw that the
Disney Vacation Club Enchantment Fireworks Cruise is returning. The return of Member-exclusive events and experiences like this one is SO exciting, and these events are the ultimate DVC perk, in my opinion. Champagne, sweet treats, a beautiful boat ride and fantastic unobstructed views of Disney Enchantment?! I'm in! It sounds as if you're in, too, Melissa, so I'm thrilled to answer your question today.
Since the Disney Vacation Club Enchantment Fireworks Cruises take place on Wednesdays and July 4th is on a Monday this year, I contacted a helpful Cast Member with
Member Services to see if they had any knowledge of a special July 4th Cruise. Unfortunately, they have not heard anything regarding a July 4th Cruise or DVC event yet. However, I'd recommend checking back with
the Member Benefits page on the DVC website for any new information on the Cruises or other DVC events. I will definitely be checking along with you!
I stayed in a Theme Park View room at
Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort for the 4th of July one year, and the Magic Kingdom Park fireworks spectacular was seriously the most amazing fireworks show I have ever seen. If you don't plan on watching from the theme park (or a fabulous dessert cruise), I suggest viewing the fireworks show from Bay Lake Tower. While at this time, Top of the World Lounge is still temporarily unavailable to Guests, I am wishing upon every evening star that it reopens soon! If not, you can get a great view of the fireworks from the Sky Way Bridge that connects the 5th floor of Bay Lake Tower to the 4th floor of the Contemporary. Grab some yummy cupcakes from
Contempo Cafe or mobile order the
Steakhouse 71 Chocolate Cake to-go and have your own dessert party! YUM! Don't forget to wear your red, white and blue!
Melissa, I am wishing you sweet treats and fabulous fireworks views on your upcoming summer vacation! Please stop by any time with any vacation planning or DVC questions you may have. You've got a friend in me!
I hope to see ya real soon,
Mandy
