Hi David, and welcome to planDisney! I'm always happy to help a fellow Ohioan make their way to the Sunshine State for a magical vacation!
I'm so happy you've stopped by so I can help you with this question because this situation happened to me a few months ago. I absolutely love the Rose & Crown Fireworks Dining Package! I've been fortunate enough to secure this reservation several times. I can't decide what I enjoy more—the fantastic view of
Luminous The Symphony of Us or the delicious Scotch Egg on the menu—yum!
To be honest, I consider this dining reservation my "white Monstro" (i.e., White Whale). It has always been the hardest reservation for me to secure. Due to the very limited number of seats available for this package, reservations fill up quickly. A few months ago, I managed to secure a reservation for four, even though I only needed a reservation for two. When I called the helpful Cast Members for the Enchanting Extras Collection, they informed me that the restaurant has a limited number of tables for different party sizes, including two, four, and more. Once all the smaller tables for parties of two are taken, only tables for parties of three or four may be available. So, while both of us were looking for a table for two, only larger tables were left open. I would have been able to keep my reservation for only a party of two, but I would be charged for the number of people I had made the reservation for. This is one reason why this reservation is so hard to secure.
I know this wasn't the answer you were hoping for. I completely understand. I can tell you from experience I have seen a reservation open a few days before my trip when someone canceled, so be sure to keep checking. This does happen from time to time.
I do have some good news. Because Luminous The Symphony of Us can be seen from all around the World Showcase Lagoon, you'll still be able to see this beautiful show. You can still hopefully make a regular dining reservation at the
Rose & Crown Dining Room and try the Scotch Egg! If you can't secure this reservation this time, I hope you will experience it soon.
I have another piece of good news. You will be in EPCOT for the
International Flower & Garden Festival, and I hope you'll enjoy all the festival offers. I love the food at this festival, and there is even a
Garden Rocks Concert Series you should check out.
David, from one Buckeye to another, I'm wishing you the most wonderful trip. Visit us here at planDisney anytime. We are Guests like you who are always happy to help you plan your magic.
Sprinkling pixie dust!
