Why are there no fireworks on Wednesday? I thought they did this every night. We have a reservation during prime fireworks hours and we can’t even see them. Wahhh.

How do you plan reservations early when the extra magic hour schedules usually aren't out 180 days in advance?

Should we do yak and yeti quick service or table service?
Should we cancel La Hacienda de San Angel dinner and do the world showcase or just stick with our reservation? I feel like a 6:30 reservation will cut our day short.

Can someone explain how we should plan our day at Epcot? I have no clue what I’m doing when it comes to Epcot. I know we want to keep our lunch reservation though.

Also, I made a rookie mistake with our reservations. I was waiting for the September 2013 schedule but it didn’t come out soon enough so I went ahead and made reservations without it. Since I waited so long most of the early breakfast spots were taken. Does it look like our breakfasts are too late?

Also, where should we go for Fantasmic? We were just gonna do a quick service dinner or eat in the room when we visit Hollywood studios but I've never seen Fantasmic before and I really want to see it. Is there a place we can do a dinner reservation and see it?


Thank you for taking the time to read all of that!!

Do you mean Tuesday instead of Wednesday? If so, Tuesday is a Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party night. There WILL be fireworks. The regular Wishes fireworks won't be displayed. Instead, the Happy HalloWishes fireworks will begin at 9:30PM.

Ahh yes that's what I meant! I mixed my days up lol!

Where can we go to see those fireworks? Do we need to get tickets to Mickey's not so scary Halloween party?
Thank you for your response!

I would get rid of the Yak & Yeti There is a TON of food at Tusker House we ate there in May add in the heat of the day and eating eating makes us drowsy
We had our ADR at 11 ish and no one thought about wanting any food until early that evening ..just our experience but DH is a trucker and eats like one

If you want to go to the Halloween party then yes you need tickets, but you'll be able to see the fireworks from Narcoossee's(or the Grand Floridian beach if you're done with dinner by 9:30) just like you would the regular fireworks.

Thank y'all so much! It's our first time at disney and I've come a long way since I first started planning but I'm still a little confused.

We cancelled our lunches and are just doing dinners instead! We'll do quick service lunches that way we don't have to eat when we're not hungry or when we want to ride rides.

I am very excited about the Hallowishes fireworks! We're gonna do Mickey's not so Scary Halloween Party some other year. Maybe after we have kids I'm finishing up all the details now! Can't wait for September!
