    Does going to the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties offer an easier/quicker exit of the park after the fireworks? If so, is the pre or post party better for that matter? Or is it easier exit to just stand closer to the exit on Main Street?

    Hiya, Lucia, and welcome back to planDisney!

    It won't be long now until you're stepping into the magic of Disney World, strolling down Main Street U.S.A., with that first breathtaking glimpse of Cinderella Castle ahead. Can you picture it? It gets me every single time — it's like coming home to a place where dreams come true.

    I completely understand wanting the easiest, and least crowded way to leave the parks after watching the fireworks. While the dessert parties don't provide a designated exit, they can still offer some benefits that might make your evening more enjoyable. 

    There are three different types of dessert parties to choose from, but the one I'd recommend for you is the post-party option. Here's how it works: Approximately 60 minutes before the start of Happily Ever After, you'll check in at Tomorrowland Terrace. Before the fireworks light up the sky, a friendly Cast Member will escort you to a reserved standing area in the Plaza Garden. This prime viewing spot will offer you an incredible view of the show. Once the fireworks come to an end, you'll make your way back to Tomorrowland Terrace. There, you'll be welcome to indulge in a delightful spread of desserts, cheeses, and beverages. By choosing this option, you can skip the post-fireworks crowd and spend that time savoring the party instead! 

    Another fantastic way to enjoy a more secluded fireworks viewing is by booking a Magic Kingdom Fireworks Cruise. This experience is perfect for celebrating a special occasion, or simply treating yourself and loved ones to something extra magical. You and your party will set sail on the tranquil waters of Seven Sea Lagoon and Bay Lake, where synchronized audio is piped in to ensure you're fully immersed in the sights and sounds of Happily Ever After. Each cruise comes with your very own captain and includes a selection of snacks and soft drinks, making it a truly memorable way to take in the nighttime spectacular.

    I hope this has been helpful, Lucia! If any other questions pop up, come visit us again!
