    I purchased a magic kingdom fireworks cruise for an upcoming trip and now realize that the night we are booked is a MNSSHP night. Will the cruise still view the party fireworks? How will my experience differ from a regular night other than theme?

    Magical greetings, Rachel, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you asked your question. You've come to the right place because my family and I took a Magic Kingdom Fireworks Cruise last year on a night when Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was held. I'm happy to share my experience with you.

    Yes, you'll be positioned to view Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, the fireworks show during the party. In fact, a fireworks cruise is the best way to view these fireworks without a party ticket. The only difference from a regular night is that you'll see the Halloween fireworks instead of Happily Ever After.

    Once you meet your captain and board your pontoon boat, you'll find a selection of nonalcoholic beverages such as water and soda as well as a variety of snacks included in the cost of your cruise. You're also welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks with you if you'd rather have something different. Please keep in mind that glass isn't allowed on board. Your captain will sail you around Bay Lake, giving you a tour of the area and helping you spot wildlife. If show times allow, you may even be given prime viewing for the Electrical Water Pageant before the fireworks. Then, when it's almost time for fireworks, your captain will position you for a fantastic view and will stream the accompanying soundtrack right into your boat. Once the show is over, you'll be sailed back to your starting point. 

    It's truly a wonderful experience and is the best of both worlds especially if you aren't planning to attend the party. And if you are attending the party, you get to experience the fireworks two ways.

    Rachel, have a great time on your Fireworks Cruise. Please visit us again if we can help you with any other planning questions.

    Grab hold of your dreams!
