Fireworks

Wife & I will be in the parks on 11/2 & 11/3 as part of a larger trip. Question on the 2 fireworks displays, Fantasmic & WOC. In looking at the park schedules on here, I see a time for WOC but not for Fantasmic. Does this mean it doesn't run at this time? Also I would like to plan dinner while viewing the shows; suggestions for the best places to do this please?

Fantasmic and WOC are not fireworks shows. They are shows on the water, one in DL and one in DCA, just so you know! It's a little early for entertainment times to be on the schedule yet so keep checking back as they will add things slowly and sometimes not til 45 days or so ahead of time.

There are dinner packages you can do before the shows to get you a ticket to a special seating area. And Fantasmic has a special seating area at Riverbelle that costs extra after your meal to see the show. But I have heard that it isn't the greatest view. You can watch WOC from Cove Bar but you would be seeing it from the side and would miss some stuff.

Thanks I will keep checking.

Fantasmic! and the fireworks are typically just Friday-Sunday at that time of year, so they'll probably just be on 11/3.

There wont be a show on Thursday the 2nd because it's the offseason. Should be there the 3rd though

As the PP said, during the non-peak periods, F! and fireworks are typically only presented on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (and holidays). So there is a good chance that Friday will be your only chance to see fireworks and F!. WoC is typically presented nightly.

Currently, the only way to see F! while dining is the RBT's premium F! package. However, the RBT is undergoing a remodeling through November 16, so that is probably not an option. Other than that, there are dining packages that will get you reserved/preferred viewing for F!, but it's ground seating and not all sections are guaranteed to be seated. There are no packages for fireworks.

WoC has two options. There is a dessert party that includes a seat at a table. This is the best choice if you don't want to invest a lot of time and want a prime view. The other option, as mentioned, is the Cove Bar. Some of the tables do have a view, but this option will probably involves a considerable amount of time. The Cove Bar stops seating guests one hour before the park closes or at 8:00 pm, whichever comes first (or something along those lines). There is usually a pretty good wait for a table (plan on about an hour), so in most cases you'll be looking at least a two hour chunk of time. The view is fun, but it's not the one I'd recommend for a first time viewer.
