Hi Amy,
It's always nice to see a familiar friend at planDisney! Your arrival is just one of the exciting things happening at Walt Disney World Resort this April. In case you haven't heard,
TRON Lightcycle/Run is opening in Magic Kingdom Park on April 4! A standby queue will not be available for this attraction during your visit, so I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the thumb choreography for joining a
Virtual Queue in the
My Disney Experience mobile app (three small lines at the bottom right of the app's home page --> Virtual Queues). This attraction will also be available as an
Individual Lightning Lane purchase.
In making plans for my own early April visit, I, too, noticed the lack of April booking dates for
Ferrytale Fireworks: A Sparkling Dessert Cruise. My quest for an extra-special fireworks experience produced similar results when trying to book a dessert party at Magic Kingdom Park. My guess is the lack of booking dates has something to do with the transition between Disney Enchantment and
Happily Ever After, which returns on April 3. I'm keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for announcements about unique fireworks offerings and wishing on a star that they'll be available for Happily Ever After viewing soon.
If you're looking for a fireworks viewing experience without the Main Street, U.S.A., crowds, I highly recommend viewing the Magic Kingdom fireworks from one of the monorail resorts: Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, or Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. One of my favorite fireworks viewing experiences ever involved a cupcake from
Gasparilla Island Grill and an unobstructed water view from one of the outdoor tables. The walkway from Magic Kingdom Park to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is temporarily closed through late spring, but four stops on the
Resort Monorail will get you to your desired destination.
However you choose to experience Happily Ever After this April, Amy, I hope your story comes alive in a magical way!
Choose magic,
Jennifer
