End your Disney day in the sweetest way—with a fireworks dessert party, dining package, or fireworks cruise that combines delicious treats, drinks, and prime fireworks viewing at Walt Disney World. Whether you’re looking for a romantic evening, a family celebration, or a magical splurge, these experiences add a little extra Pixie Dust to your night.


Happily Ever After from the Plaza Garden

In this guide, we’ll cover all the best options for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios, including pricing, what’s included, and tips for booking your perfect fireworks night. Note: Prices are subject to change and may vary during peak seasons. It's recommended to check the official Disney website or contact Disney Dining or your travel advisor for the most current pricing.


Magic Kingdom: Happily Ever After


🏰 Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties at Tomorrowland Terrace

If you’re looking for the ultimate way to enjoy Magic Kingdom’s fireworks without the crowds, a dessert party is the perfect solution. These premium experiences combine sweet treats, sparkling drinks, and reserved spots for the nightly fireworks. Whether you want a cozy seat, a pre-show indulgence, or a post-show celebration, there’s a Magic Kingdom dessert party that’s just right for you



🎆 Treats & Seats at Tomorrowland Terrace

Relax in a reserved seat at Tomorrowland Terrace, sip sparkling beverages, and savor a plate of desserts while watching the fireworks from a prime location.

  • Pricing: $119 per adult (ages 10+), $75 per child (ages 3–9)

  • Includes: Reserved seating, dessert buffet, sparkling drinks, and fireworks viewing


Pro: You can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show without the pressure of claiming a spot early—perfect if you prefer comfort and calm.

Con: The view from Tomorrowland Terrace can be partially obstructed by the overhang, and not every table offers a direct line of sight to the castle, so some angles may be less than ideal.


  • Treats and Seats Happily Ever After view - Tomorrowland Terrace at the Magic Kingdom

🌟 Magic Kingdom Fireworks Pre-Party

Enjoy a buffet of desserts and drinks at Tomorrowland Terrace, then move to a prime standing area in the Plaza Garden to watch the fireworks show.

Pro: Dedicated standing space in the Plaza Garden provides a less crowded, more central view of the fireworks and castle projections compared to general public viewing areas

.Con: The pre-party check-in time is typically 90 minutes before the fireworks, which might feel like a long wait—especially for kids or anyone hoping to maximize park time before the show. It can also be difficult to fully relax and enjoy the dessert and drink offerings when you're keeping an eye on the time and planning your move to the viewing area.


  • Pricing: $99 per adult, $59 per child

  • Includes: Dessert buffet, drinks, and fireworks viewing from the Plaza Garden


🎇 Magic Kingdom Fireworks After-Party

Watch the fireworks first from the Plaza Garden, then head back to Tomorrowland Terrace for a delicious dessert spread and sparkling beverages.


Pro: Dedicated standing space in the Plaza Garden offers a more relaxed, central view of the fireworks and castle projections—plus you’ll have more time to sit and savor the desserts and drinks after Happily Ever After.

Con: You’ll miss the opportunity to take advantage of shorter post-fireworks attraction wait times. It can also be very crowded when making your way from the Plaza Garden back to Tomorrowland Terrace for the after-party.


  • Pricing: $99 per adult, $59 per child

  • Includes: Fireworks viewing, dessert buffet post-show


💡 Pixie Dust Pro Tip: There will still be a fair amount of people in the dessert party viewing area, so get their early for the best view.


We’ve experienced both the Pre-Party and the After-Party and personally found the After-Partyto be a better fit for our family—it was so nice to just enjoy the fireworks and then unwind with desserts afterward. That said, we don’t have young children in our group, and if we did, our choice might have been very different. Families with little ones may prefer the Pre-Party to avoid navigating post-show crowds or staying out too late.



🚤 Fireworks Cruises: Set Sail for a Magical Night

Set sail for a magical night with a private Fireworks Cruise on Seven Seas Lagoon or Bay Lake. These private charters offer a one-of-a-kind, crowd-free way to watch Happily Ever After with your own group—complete with soft drinks, snacks, and an experienced captain at the helm.


Pro: A private boat, just your group, and fireworks lighting up the sky—what more could you want? It’s a peaceful, personal, and unforgettable way to experience the magic.

Con: While the fireworks views are phenomenal, your line of sight to the Cinderella Castle projections is limited from the water, so you’ll miss some of the storytelling elements. Also, unlike the traditional dessert parties, you won’t get the same spread of themed treats or sparkling beverages—it’s more about the view than the menu.


  • Pricing: Starts at $449 plus tax for up to 10 guests

  • Includes: Private boat, captain, snacks, soft drinks, fireworks viewing


💡 Pixie Dust Pro Tip: These cruises are a hit for birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions. Split the cost among friends or family for a surprisingly affordable VIP experience!


Happily Ever After from a Fireworks Cruise

🎆 Celebration at the Top: Sip, Savor, and Sparkle at California Grill

For an upscale fireworks experience, Celebration at the Top at California Grill in Disney's Contemporary Resort offers small plates, sushi, and desserts in a sophisticated lounge setting. Sip wine, beer, or cocktails, then step onto a private viewing deck to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks.

Pro: For a adults-only evening, or romantic date this is an awesome expereince.

Con: This is not an expereince for families with children, and this experience is not offered nightly, so make sure to check on the Disney website when making your trip plans.

  • Pricing: $149 per guest, plus tax

  • Includes: Selection of small plates, desserts, wine, beer, cocktails, and fireworks viewing from the California Grill deck


💡 Pixie Dust Pro Tip: Dress smart-casual for the occasion—it’s the perfect blend of relaxed and refined.

🌐 EPCOT - Luminous: The Story of Us


Fireworks Dining Packages: A Feast with a View

For a unique dining experience paired with stunning fireworks views, EPCOT offers two fireworks dining packages:


🌿 Rose & Crown Fireworks Dining Package

Located in the UK Pavilion, Rose & Crown’s package includes a three-course meal with your choice of appetizer, entrée, and dessert, plus unlimited select beverages. Guests are guaranteed a table on the patio with an incredible view of Luminous: The Symphony of Us.

  • Pricing: $92 per adult (ages 10+), $41 per child (ages 3–9)

  • Includes: One appetizer, one entrée, one dessert, unlimited select beverages

  • View: Guaranteed patio seating overlooking World Showcase Lagoon


🌙 Spice Road Table Fireworks Dining Package

For a Mediterranean twist, the Spice Road Table package includes two small plates per guest, a shared tagine for the table, a dessert platter, and unlimited beverages. The covered patio offers weather-protected, front-row views of Luminous.

  • Pricing: $81 per adult (ages 10+), $31 per child (ages 3–9)

  • Includes: Two small plates, one tagine (shared), dessert platter, unlimited beverages

  • View: Covered patio with stunning fireworks views


Pro: Combines dining and fireworks into one convenient experience, letting you enjoy a delicious meal with a fantastic view—without the stress of navigating crowds or saving a spot.

Con: As prix-fixe dining events, they come with a much higher price tag than a standard table service meal at the majority of the World Showcase restaurants.


💡 Pixie Dust Pro Tip: These dining packages are in high demand! Book as soon as reservations open—60 days in advance for Disney Resort guests, or 60 days before your dining date for off-property visitors. Also, double-check that you're booking the Fireworks Dining Package, not just a standard ADR (Advance Dining Reservation), as regular reservations do not include fireworks viewing access




GEO-82 Fireworks Experience: A VIP Lounge for Adults

EPCOT’s new adult lounge presents GEO-82 Fireworks Experience which offers an exclusive, adults-only event combining gourmet bites, sparkling beverages, and VIP fireworks views in the sleek GEO-82 Lounge.

  • Price: Starting at $179 per person, plus tax

  • Includes: Small plates, desserts, sparkling drinks, VIP seating for the EPCOT fireworks


Pro: Enjoy the fireworks in a luxurious, adults-only environment—perfect for date nights or celebrating a special occasion in style.

Con: The price point is higher than any other fireworks dining package or dessert party at Walt Disney World, and the viewing area is set farther back with a partially obstructed view of Luminous: The Symphony of Us.


💡 Pixie Dust Pro Tip: You can also make a regular ADR at GEO-82 during the fireworks—no need to book the full Fireworks Experience. While you won’t be seated right next to the windows and you'll pay individually for your tapas and beverages, you’ll still enjoy that adults-only ambiance with fireworks in the background—at a much lower price point.

🎭 Hollywood Studios - Fantasmic!


Fantasmic! Dining Package

The Fantasmic! Dining Package is a magical way to enjoy a delicious meal at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and secure VIP seating for the popular Fantasmic! night time spectacular. With a variety of restaurants to choose from, this package is a fan-favorite for a stress-free evening filled with food, fun, and fireworks. Make sure you are booking the Fatasmic Dining Package when doing your ADR. Regular dining at the participating restaurants will not include Fatasmic! Seating.


Pro: The package guarantees you a reserved seat in the Fantasmic! amphitheater—often in the center sections—so you can skip the long standby line and walk right in.

Con: While the area is reserved, seating within that section is still first-come, first-served, so if you’re hoping for those coveted front-row seats, you’ll still want to arrive very early for the best view.


🍳 50’s Prime Time Café

Step back in time at 50’s Prime Time Café, where classic comfort food is served with a side of playful family-style antics. From fried chicken to pot roast, it’s a meal filled with nostalgia and fun. It's our favorite comfort food stop and Hollywood Studios.

  • Pricing: $60 per adult (ages 10+), $23 per child (ages 3–9)

  • Includes: One entrée, one dessert, one beverage (non-alcoholic or alcoholic for guests 21+)

  • Reserved seating: in the Fantasmic! amphitheater for the first show of the evening


🚗 Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater

Dine in a vintage car under a starry sky while classic sci-fi clips play on the big screen. It’s a fun, retro experience perfect for families and movie lovers alike.

  • Pricing: $57 per adult (ages 10+), $23 per child (ages 3–9)

  • Includes: One entrée, one dessert, one beverage (non-alcoholic or alcoholic for guests 21+)

  • Reserved seating: in the Fantasmic! amphitheater for the first show of the evening

  • Pricing: $83 per adult (ages 10+), $31 per child (ages 3–9)

  • Includes: One entrée, one dessert, one beverage (non-alcoholic or alcoholic for guests 21+)

  • Reserved seating: in the Fantasmic! amphitheater for the first show of the evening


🎉 Hollywood & Vine

This character dining buffet features seasonal themes and a rotating cast of beloved Disney characters. Breakfast highlights Disney Junior favorites like Fancy Nancy and Vampirina, while Minnie’s Seasonal Dine for lunch and dinner includes Minnie, Mickey, Goofy, and Pluto in festive costumes.

  • Breakfast: $65 per adult (ages 10+), $39 per child (ages 3–9)

  • Lunch & Dinner: $81 per adult (ages 10+), $49 per child (ages 3–9)

💡 Pixie Dust Pro Tip: On show nights with multiple performances, Dining Package guests are typically assigned to the first Fantasmic! show. Arrive at least 25 minutes before showtime to access the reserved section (or earlier if you want those coveted front-row seats), located on Sunset Boulevard next to Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage.
