So, if you’re going to be visiting Epcot for the Food & Wine Festival, over the 50 th anniversary celebration, and beyond, read on for our list on where to watch the Epcot fireworks, along with some helpful tips. As you ooh and ahh over the twinkling lights, you start to forget about ridiculously long lines and brutally hot temperatures for a moment and just enjoy the magic of the day.Īlthough the Epcot fireworks can be enjoyed throughout much of the park (and outside the park too!), getting the best views of the show takes some planning. I don’t know whether it’s the booze or food comas from all the eating and drinking around the world, or the fact that the Epcot fireworks look a whole lot like pixie dust, but one thing is certain. And the same can be said for watching the nightly fireworks at Epcot.

That little extra something that makes the whole thing feel special. We were instantly transported to the past, as the music swelled and a big bang struck high in the air, signaling the start of Illuminations.įor the first time in forever (had to say it!), it really felt like I was there in person.If a Disney World vacation was an ice cream sundae (from Beaches & Cream, of course), then the nightly fireworks would be the sprinkles. We found this video from Disney Parks Blog, and dimmed the lights. Since it’s our date night and we get to decide (that’s the beauty of Disney date night at home!), we chose to accompany our personal dessert party with Illuminations, even though it’s not the current fireworks show offered at EPCOT. Illuminations: Reflections of Earth, which was EPCOT’s fireworks show until September last year, holds a significant place in my heart. He’s less into Disneybounding, but I loved that he wanted to stay “on brand!” The ShowĬurrently, the Frozen Ever After Sparkling Dessert Party is accompanied by EPCOT Forever, which is a temporary fireworks show until EPCOT debuts their new nighttime spectacular, HarmoniUS. My husband also kept the theme going by wearing an EPCOT shirt. Like Anna, I too always want to stuff some chocolate in my face! We know Anna would love this dessert party!

To get that frozen fractal feel, we adorned our table with blue and white sequin backdrops from Amazon, and continued the Elsa icy blue vibe with menu labels, plates, and napkins (sourced from our local dollar store). If you want to create these menu items at home, here are a few of the recipes we used:Īs a huge fan of Frozen, I was thrilled that we chose the dessert party that celebrates the adventures of Anna and Elsa! The best part about this delectable date night is that you can get everything store-bought, make everything from scratch, or do a bit of both! Most of what we created, we made from scratch!Įverything else, we obtained at our grocery store bakery. With tempting treats such as Kristoff’s Kransekake Almond Cookies and Grandpabbie’s Cheese Fondue, we were so excited to get started!Īs there are just two of us in our household, we recreated about half of this vast menu. We found the menu for the Frozen Ever After Sparkling Dessert Party menu right here on Disney’s website under the subheading, “ A Sweet Finale.” Let’s venture “into the unknown” and show you how we brought the magic of EPCOT and Arendelle to our living room! The MenuĪnna’s Sunflower Birthday Cake Cupcakes from the menu were definitely a favorite! Photo by Esther Vallins We chose to recreate the Frozen Ever After Sparkling Dessert Party at EPCOT. These events have become a rising trend amongst park goers, and are perfect for all ages. If that wasn’t enough to entice your sweet tooth, Disney offers an even sweeter view by including an exclusive spot for that evening’s fireworks. Your ticket entitles you to all-you-can-eat treats, savory items, and beverages (oftentimes including “grown up” drinks for the adults too!). When available (fireworks dessert parties are not currently being offered during phased reopening), WDW has variously themed fireworks dessert parties across their four parks.ĭisney’s fireworks dessert parties are a special, hard-ticket event that you purchase in addition to park admission.

It’s scientifically proven that Disney calories don’t count, right ? Naturally, this thinking brought me to my latest Disney date night at home idea: recreating a fireworks dessert party! What is a Fireworks Dessert Party?
