Hi there, Jessi, and welcome to planDisney! I am so happy that you're here with this great question about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! You'll be arriving tomorrow - can you believe it? You must be so excited!
Jessi, as you finish packing your bags, I'd love to give you a little encouragement about your plans for a magical evening of fireworks and Character Dining. The Happily Ever After
Fireworks Cruise is a great way to experience this nighttime spectacular from a whole new perspective. It typically lasts about an hour and a half. The Happily Ever After show lasts just under twenty minutes, so you'll likely head back to the
Contemporary as soon as it ends, giving you a few minutes to walk up toward
Chef Mickey's. If cutting it close seems stressful to you, you might consider checking back to see if you can adjust your reservation to be closer to 9:00 pm.
When you board the boat, be transparent with the Cast Member who's driving the boat about your plans. They will appreciate knowing that you're working with a set schedule and will likely be able to accommodate your needs.
Jessi, I hope this is helpful as you continue to plan your vacation. Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
