Welcome to planDisney, Lisa! I’m so glad you stopped by with your question.
I actually had the pleasure of sitting at the bar at
GEO-82 just the other night, and I was able to chat with the bartender about the
Fireworks Experience... it sounds absolutely wonderful! While I wasn’t part of the Fireworks Experience package myself, I was there during the fireworks, and they dimmed the lights and played the music from
Luminous The Symphony of Us. It was such a beautiful atmosphere, so you’re in for a treat!
Guests who book the Fireworks Experience receive prime seating by the windows overlooking World Celebration Gardens, along with some delicious bites and drinks. The bartender was kind enough to let me take a peek at the Fireworks Experience menu. Guests are treated to a tableside Champagne service featuring a sommelier-selected pour, such as Canard-Duchêne “Léonie” Cuvée Brut. It’s high-quality and adds a touch of sparkle to the evening.
There are also a couple of event-exclusive cocktails (included in the price) created just for this experience. The Shimmering Margarita features Teremana Tequila and a touch of edible silver shimmer, while the Golden Old Fashioned is made with Old Forester 1920 and finished with gold dust. Guests can enjoy both of these special cocktails in addition to the Champagne service, and it all feels very celebratory. Drinks from the regular GEO-82 menu are also available for purchase if you’d like something different. Drink service typically wraps up around 9:00 PM, but the Cast Members make a final round before then so guests can enjoy refills during the fireworks.
Alongside the drinks, guests are served a tasting tower of savory light bites before the show, followed by a selection of sweet treats, such as my favorite Baumkuchen cake, bonbons, and chocolate-dipped strawberries, to enjoy during the fireworks. Offerings can change at any time, but everything I saw looked delicious.
It’s such a lovely, relaxing way to end an EPCOT evening... wonderful drinks, delicious bites, and a great view of the fireworks. I hope this helps you get excited for your visit, Lisa!
See ya real soon,
Eean
