    What restaurants provide a view of fireworks?

    Hi Paula,

    Welcome to planDisney!

    Dining with a view of the fireworks at Walt Disney World® Resort - I love discussing these kinds of dining experiences! While there may be dining locations that would give you a glimpse of the fireworks, I will share the ones that we think have good views. Our absolute favorite is California Grill atop Disney's Contemporary Resort. We love dining here during the Happily Ever After fireworks at Magic Kingdom. On our most recent visit, we dined at 'Ohana located at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort during the Happily Ever After fireworks. At Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, I have also watched the Magic Kingdom fireworks from outside of the Quick Service restaurant, Gasparilla Island Grill.

    At EPCOT, both Spice Road Table and Rose & Crown Dining Room offer fireworks dining packages. I absolutely love Luminous The Symphony of Us so I always plan to experience it at least once during each of our visits. Be sure to check the park hours for the dates of your visit so that you know the times of each of the fireworks shows. 

    As you continue to plan, you may decide that you want to see either show more than once. If so, remember that you can find a spot in each park. We always find our spot at least an hour prior to the show. At Magic Kingdom, we stand right in front of Cinderella Castle, to the left. This spot is close, but one of our girls is shorter, so it's helpful to not have anyone in front of her. On our most recent visit to EPCOT, we stood along the railing across from Sweets & Treats.

    Paula, I hope you are able to make an advanced dining reservation to see a fireworks show while dining. Looking at the dates of your visit, be sure to check out the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. With your practically perfect planning, I am confident that you will have an incredible experience!

    Magic and memories,
    Donyell
