UPDATE: Guests at EPCOT are buzzing about the new $92 reserved fireworks viewing experience at the popular Rose & Crown restaurant. As part of the nightly spectacular Luminous: The Symphony of Us, this offering promises a unique way to enjoy the stunning fireworks, fountains, and music that light up the sky.
Tonight at 9:00 PM, the fireworks show captivates audiences with a blend of Disney songs and visual artistry. But is the cost for a guaranteed seat really worth it? We dive into the experience to help you decide before your visit.
Guests can indulge in a pre-fix menu at Rose & Crown, which includes unlimited beverages—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The price for adults is $92, while children ages 3 to 9 pay $41. This premium package is especially enticing after a long day at the park, particularly when temperatures soar.
During our visit, which took place on one of the hottest days of the year, the value of reserved seating became evident. Exhausted by the heat, our group was thrilled to have a designated and comfortable spot to enjoy the show. “I wouldn’t have made it to the fireworks without this package,” one guest remarked.
While the viewing experience is luxurious, it’s essential to note that it’s not a necessity to pay for reserved seating to see the fireworks. The show occurs over the World Showcase Lagoon, offering several free viewing spots for guests willing to arrive early. However, for those seeking comfort and a dining experience, this package may be worth the splurge.
The Rose & Crown menu features British favorites, including their renowned fish and chips and a vegetarian Hot Pot. However, our review of the Hot Pot yielded mixed results. While the fish and chips received rave reviews, the vegetarian option fell flat, described as “one of the worst Impossible items” encountered.
As for the viewing itself, our group was relocated to the bottom patio just before the show started, providing an exceptional view of the fireworks and fountains. With drinks continuously refilled by attentive staff, the ambience made for a memorable experience, especially after a tiring day in the park.
In summary, while the Rose & Crown reserved fireworks viewing is a luxury expense, it offers significant value for those looking to relax at the end of their day. The combination of great food, unlimited drinks, and a prime viewing location creates a satisfying conclusion to an exhilarating day at EPCOT.
