Happily Ever After Dessert Party – Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom Dessert Party features prime viewing for the Happily Ever After Fireworks show. However, since this event is so popular, there actually three separate Happily Ever After Fireworks Parties to choose from. The Pre and Post Parties include treats and Plaza Garden viewing spot. The Seats and Sweets party includes treats and drinks during the show, and a viewing spot from the balcony of Tomorrowland Terrace. No matter which you choose, check in is typically about 60 minutes before fireworks start time. Here are the details.

The Happily Ever After Fireworks Dessert Party- Pre Party includes a variety of desserts, like chocolate dipped strawberries, and chocolate silk tarts, alongside crackers, cheese, and beverages including beer and wine. Then , before showtime, you are led to the Plaza Garden area for reserved standing space to watch the fireworks. Cost is $99- $109 per adult, and $59 per child (ages 3-9)

Also available, the Happily Ever After Fireworks Dessert Party- Seats and Sweets allows you a variety of sweet treats, cheeses, beers and wines. But, since your dessert time is during the show, you can simply settle in on the Tomorrowland open air balcony for view of the fireworks while you eat. This event costs $119- $129 per adult, and $75 per child ( ages 3-9).

Finally, you can alternatively grab the Happily Ever After Fireworks Dessert Party- Post Party package, which still gets you Plaza Garden viewing of the fireworks, but you have your desserts and wine after the show, instead of before, or during the show. This later option gives you the chance to relax while everyone races to the bus depot to head home.

Geo-82 Fireworks Experience Luminous Dessert Party- EPCOT

Taking place in the brand new adult-exclusive Geo-82 Lounge at EPCOT Park, you can grab light bites, champagnes, and hand crated cocktails while you watch the Luminous fireworks from the lounge.

Food and Wine Festival Eat to the Beat Dining Package

The most popular festival at Disney World is the Food and Wine festival. Offered during the cooler and less crowded months of August- November, people come from everywhere to try all the new foods and drinks on the menu. As such, the concert series can get crowded. If you’re planning to see one of the bands, check out the Food and Wine Festival Eat to the Beat Dining Package as a good way to beat the crowds.

Festival of the Holidays Candlelight Processional Dining Package

By far one of our favorite events, the Candlelight Processional at EPCOT is shown nightly at the America Gardens theater, throughout the Festival of Holidays. Including beautiful music from the chorus, and full orchestra, as well as a Celebrity Speaker reading the Nativity Story, this is a holiday experience worth making time for. Grabbing the dining package means that you can have a nice dinner ahead of the show, and then get a reserved seat for the evening. We highly recommend the Festival of the Holidays Candlelight Processional Dining Package if your hoping to see a popular celebrity speaker.

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party Dessert Party – Magic Kingdom

If you’re attending Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, offered on select nights August 15 to October 31, 2025, you may want to take a break from the party fun and relax. And you won’t even have to fight anyone for a good seat at the fireworks show! Plus, since Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular Fireworks Show features a welcome from Jack Skellington himself, it’s extra important to actually see the front of the castle!

While we wouldn’t take precious MNSSHP time for a Dessert Party, there is something to be said, for not having to reserve your spot ahead of time, only to have a child hoisted up on the shoulders of the person in front of you. If you’re keen on a good view for the Disney Halloween Fireworks, book the Garden Viewing package for a guaranteed, unobstructed place to stand and watch.

Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular Dessert Party takes place at Tomorrowland Terrace with Terrace Seating or Garden Viewing, depending on which you book.

• Disney’s Halloween Fireworks Dessert Party – Tomorrowland Terrace
• Disney’s Halloween Fireworks Dessert Party – Garden Viewing

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Dessert Party – Magic Kingdom

Offered during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, the Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Party takes place before the show, with an option to stay at the Terrace, or head to the Plaza Garden for closer viewing. The Christmas Party fireworks, are magical no matter where you are, so this isn’t a dessert party we’d recommend since it takes away from the Christmas magic at the party itself. But if you need the break from the parks, it’s a good option to get out of the crowds.

• Disney’s Christmas Party Dessert Party- Tomorrowland Terrace
• Disney’s Christmas Party Dessert Party- Garden Viewing

Jazzy Holidays Dining Package at Jollywood Nights- Hollywood Studios

One of the most glam events of the season at Walt Disney World is Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios.

While Jollywood Nights already requires a special ticket, you will need an additional one to snag a seat at Jazzy Holidays. Much like the other seasonal parties, we wouldn’t take precious party time for a dessert party, but if you’re looking for an extra special event this is a fun time. Check out all the details for the Jazzy Holidays Dining Package at Jollywood Nights- Hollywood Studios.
