Making reservations without having park or firework times

[Nadine and Fred]

We are going 3/12 staying at GF and plan to visit several fine dining venues while we (DD 23 yo and me!) are in the World. We want to make a return trip to California Grill and would like to have dinner coincide with the new fireworks show at MK. Is there a website which would venture a guess as to times in March? (we need to make our reservations in December according to the PS calculator) Any thoughts?

i went to the theme park home page on here and went to historical hrs then guestimated from when the park was open as to how late the fireworks would be. when a day was later I figured that must be pectro and fireworks day ( for value season, when they are not every night). the only problem with that is there does not seem to be a real consistancy as to the day they are on at less busy times ( don't remember when you are going, sorry) . could not find a site with historical fireworks but it might not help any way with wishes being new ..I did hit it close with ohana figuring that way though (1/2 hr later than I thought but hope we will still be there)it sure makes for extra work.

Are you saying to go to disneyworld.com and enter in "April 2003" if I want to guestimate the times for these parades and fireworks shows, with the exception of the new one, I suppose?

Please advise.

Should this be on some other heading?

no click on" home" on the top of this page.( above the orangish line )then go to ThemeParks ( on the lower left of the blue strip on top) it will come up with a couple" boxes" in the center. the second box down has a link for park hours. after you click on that it will ask you for what date (blue line under the nov-Jan listings) . just fill that in and if they are not available( latest so far is Jan 2004) it will take you to historical hrs.

Jann,

Thanks for the tip. I will have to do it tomorrow. My husband has to use the computer momentarily. If I have any problem, I'll look for you here, OK?

Hi everyone,

Last time when I made ressies at California Grille for this Dec., the CM looked up the hours of the fire works and helped me coincide my PS times. BUT the problem is, they sometimes change the Fireworks/WISHES show.

The first time the CM at Dining told me the fireworks for the day I was looking for would be at 6:00PM so he gave me 5:30 PS at CG, I called back 2 weeks later to confirm, and they said on that day, there is no longer any Fireworks/WISHES.



But the CMs at Dining does help you coincide your PS w/ the Fireworks/WISHES if you ask them...just be sure to check often that its still on for that night!

Hope this helped, good luck and ENJOY!!!

I have a feeling the Cms in dining do not know anymore than anyone else as far as hrs. until they are " officially" published. the day before Jan. hrs came out for Mk we called about one of the million+ changes I have made to our PS ( dreading the phone bill...) and just asked about the ressie for Ohana I have( in relation to fireworks) she did not know but again guessed for 6:30 (wrong) like all the others.

She did say however that it is not as good a view with wishes as with the previous (obviously just her opin., I am sure others may or may not agree)
