Hi Natalie, welcome to planDisney!
You've picked a great time to visit Walt Disney World Resort. The
50th Anniversary celebration is in full swing and this
Little Big Book of Magic has some great tips for enjoying The World's Most Magical Celebration.
My favorite EARidescent party favors, by far, are the two new nighttime spectaculars: Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom park and Harmonious at EPCOT. I'm pleased to share that fireworks viewing is included with theme park admission, Natalie. There are no additional reservation requirements, though a
park pass reservation is required for theme park entry. Be sure to
check the calendar for showtimes, which can also be found in the My Disney Experience mobile app.
Disney Enchantment's innovative fireworks display, stirring instrumental arrangements of beloved Disney tunes, and empowering storytelling inspire me to be the magic I want to see in the world. Projections stretch from Cinderella Castle to Main Street, U.S.A., which maximizes the amount of "best seats in the house." Guests will start to reserve fireworks positions in the area immediately in front of Cinderella Castle over an hour in advance. My family recently had no problem finding a great spot on Main Street, U.S.A., about thirty minutes before showtime.
Harmonious resonates with my musical soul and gives hope to all who experience its magnificence. The biggest crowds gather around Showcase Plaza, closest to EPCOT's front exit. I recommend experiencing this artful masterpiece from the heart of World Showcase. I've had meaningful viewing experiences in Italy and Japan which, for reference, are closest to the park's International Gateway entrance.
If you're looking for an extra-magical fireworks viewing experience, Natalie, there are a number of
Enchanting Extras Collection events available, such as Magic Kingdom 50th Fireworks Dessert Parties. These events can be booked up to 60 days in advance by speaking to a Cast Member at the
"Tours, Recreation" number.
Wishing you a jolly holiday. When you're ready to plan more magic, it's time to planDisney.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
