UPDATE: EPCOT at Walt Disney World has just confirmed the return of its highly anticipated nightly fireworks show, Luminous: The Symphony of Us. This spectacular combines fireworks, fountains, music, and beloved Disney songs, drawing crowds eager to witness the magic. However, a critical question arises: Is the paid reserved viewing experience worth the hefty price tag of $92 per adult?
Visitors to EPCOT recently experienced the reserved viewing option at the Rose & Crown in the World Showcase. The dining package, priced at $92 for adults and $41 for children aged 3 to 9, includes unlimited drinks, making it a tempting offer for those looking to enhance their evening. But does it deliver the value that guests expect?
Guests reported that the package provides a guaranteed spot to relax and enjoy a meal while anticipating the nighttime fireworks. On a particularly hot day in July, many found the reserved seating essential for their comfort. As one attendee noted, “Without this package, we would have been too exhausted to enjoy the show.”
While the reserved viewing offers a distinct advantage, it is important to note that it is not a necessity. The fireworks can be seen from various vantage points around the World Showcase Lagoon, making it accessible for those who prefer not to spend extra. For those considering the experience, the Rose & Crown package also allows for a delightful British meal complete with iconic dishes such as fish and chips and the highly praised Sticky Toffee Pudding.
EPCOT’s dining package is a luxury, but many guests agree it can be a worthwhile indulgence, especially for those already planning a table service reservation during their visit. With unlimited alcoholic beverages included, the value proposition becomes even more appealing when considering the high prices of drinks around the park, often exceeding $10 each.
As the excitement builds for the re-launch of the fireworks show, guests are encouraged to check in early to secure prime seating. The experience is enhanced by attentive staff, who ensure drinks are replenished throughout the show, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the magical atmosphere.
In conclusion, while the Rose & Crown fireworks viewing experience is not essential to enjoy the EPCOT fireworks, it certainly offers a unique blend of comfort, convenience, and culinary delights that many visitors are likely to appreciate. As the summer season continues, Disney fans are eagerly flocking to EPCOT to enjoy this can’t-miss nighttime spectacle.
For those planning a visit, consider the benefits of the reserved viewing, but also explore the various options available for enjoying the fireworks without the added cost. With the summer heat and extended park hours, the choice ultimately comes down to personal preference and budget.
