Ohana

Disney fireworks can be a highlight of anyone’s Disney evening. If watching the fireworks is a priority for you and your family then there are many ways you can enjoy this experience. Watching from within the parks and in front of the castle or around World Showcase is just one way to enjoy this experience. Watching the show while dining at a restaurant is a wonderful way to experience the magic of the nightly spectacular without being surrounded by the crowd. Viewing from a restaurant can be a more intimate experience and guests can enjoy their favorite fireworks shows in a new way. If this is something that interests you then be sure to check out the best table-service restaurants for watching fireworks.
