    I am wanting to propose to my girlfriend in May of 2026, I am curious if there was a way I could do this from inside the castle while the fireworks are going off?

    Hi Joshua! 

    Thank you for stopping by planDisney to ask such a special question! First of all, my heart did a little twirl when I read it. A  proposal at Walt Disney World Resort already sounds like a page out of a fairytale, and the fact that you’re dreaming of fireworks and Cinderella Castle in the same moment? That’s the kind of storybook magic that is destined to be a pixie-dusted core memory!

    Joshua, while Guests can’t be inside Cinderella Castle during the fireworks in a way that allows for a private proposal, there is a truly enchanting alternative that still lets you capture that “fireworks from the castle” feeling, and it’s one of my favorite romantic experiences in all of Walt Disney World Resort. Consider booking dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table. This elegant dining room is inside the castle, and during the nighttime spectacular, you can actually see the fireworks illuminate the sky through the stained-glass windows. It’s dreamy, intimate, and absolutely unforgettable. 

    Picture this: you’re seated in the soaring royal hall, your princess is glowing in the candlelight, the music swells outside, and golden bursts of light start sparkling right through the castle windows. That’s a proposal moment fit for royalty, and an incredible way to keep your vision alive while working within what’s possible in the kingdom. A few pro-tips: try to sneak a private conversation with the cast members at the restaurant to let them know your plans. You never know what magic they might be able to create! Better yet, call the dining reservation line to have them note the reservation with this information, so it’s noted ahead of time. 

    If you’d like something even more personalized, Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings can also help arrange beautifully curated proposal moments in castle-area locations that feel private, magical, and perfectly timed with the fireworks overhead.

    Joshua, your heart is already creating the magic, and Disney will happily meet you halfway with the sparkle. If you want help figuring out timing, photography tips, or ways to add an extra sprinkle of pixie dust to your big moment, I’d be honored to help you.

    Sending you magical wishes for your very own happily ever after.
