Hi, Rebecca! Welcome back to planDisney.
Watching the fireworks from
Disney’s Contemporary Resort is a truly magical experience, offering breathtaking views of Cinderella Castle and the dazzling nighttime spectacular,
Happily Ever After.
California Grill, perched on the 15th floor, provides the most stunning vantage point, with a private outdoor viewing deck. My wife and I always try to get a reservation here to celebrate special occasions. Even if you dine earlier in the evening, you can return later with your receipt to enjoy the show. If you’re looking for a more laid-back setting, California Grill Lounge provides the same access on a first-come, first-served basis. However, due to its popularity—especially around fireworks time—securing a spot can be tricky, so arriving early is a good idea!
For a more casual but still unforgettable view, head to the 4th-floor observation deck, open to all Contemporary Resort Guests, where the fireworks music is piped in. If you're staying in a Theme Park View room, you can experience the magic right from your balcony, with synchronized music playing through your in-room TV. No matter where you choose to watch Happily Ever After, it'll be a night you’ll never forget.
Thanks for stopping by planDisney, Rebecca. Have a great, big, beautiful tomorrow.
Mike
