Hello Michael!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We are thrilled that you continuously come to visit us with questions, thank you so much!
I would most definitely keep the reservation at
The Crystal Palace. At the time you check-in, talk to Cast Members to see if it is possible to sit your party at a table that can give you a good view of Cinderella Castle to watch
Happily Ever After. While nothing is guaranteed, I am sure they will do their best totry and accommodate you. Another great option is to step outside and watch the fireworks show from the restaurant porch, but please let your server know in advance.
The truth is that Guests start saving a spot on Main Street U.S.A. and in the area around Cinderella Castle very early to watch Happily Ever After. Last July I was at Casey’s Corner with my brother about an hour and thirty minutes before the show eating a hot dog and it was already very busy, so I believe you are going to have a great and very comfortable experience.
Thank you for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Michael! I really hope this helps you while planning.
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
