Restaurants To View Magic Kingdom Fireworks

Ohana

Ohana in Disney’s Polynesian Resort is one of my favourite restaurants for an evening meal. There are some great views across Seven Seas Lagoon towards Magic Kingdom. Not all tables in Ohana will provide you a view of Cinderella’s castle, however the restaurant does have large windows that give a lot of guests great views.

If you are dining during the Happily Ever After fireworks show in Magic Kingdom, Ohana will dim the lights and pipe music into the restaurant. It’s a great place to experience the show in a different way whilst not having to battle any crowds.

California Grill Lounge in Disney’s Contemporary resort is a very popular place to watch Happily Ever After fireworks. This is one of the monorail resorts at Disney World, with the monorail running right through the hotel.

The restaurant is a signature restaurant and stands out as an amazing place to watch Happily Ever After fireworks as they have an observation deck to view from.

If you have a reservation after the fireworks, you are also allowed to go to the observation deck beforehand to enjoy the show.

The Rose and Crown Pub Dining Room in the UK Pavilion in Epcot offers traditional English food.

The restaurant is a popular choice for watching Epcot’s fireworks because of its outdoor seating area. This is a popular area for guests to request and your request won’t be guaranteed.

It’s worth noting that there is a balcony outside the restaurant which may obstruct a view of the fireworks depending on who is standing there.
