Naroossee's Wishes planning?

[plove53]

I would like to view Wishes from Naroossee's.... Wishes start at 10pm... I can only get reservations for either 8pm or 915pm... What would be a better time to go to try and watch Wishes from Naroossee's

Thanks!

I would take the 915p, 8p you would have to stretch out your meal, slowly .....for 2 hours. Can be done, ordering appetizers, then wait to order your entrees, once you finish the appetizers.

Keep in mind, a table at the window has the better view of Wishes, otherwise you can stand out on the deck to view.

Have a "magical" time

Personally, it seems all of my ADR's have run a little behind. Last year when we were there, outer 7:45 (Wishes 9) turned into about an 8:20. We did get to see wishes, but it was in the middle of our meal. The previous year was behind as well, but ended perfectly with dessert during the show. A lot may depend on what day you go. BYW, this is my favorite restaurant! Enjoy! Wishes from this location is beautiful...either at a table inside or on the deck outside.

It depends a little on whether you asking about hoping to get a table from which to watch Wishes or not. Narcossee's does have some tables that offer a view of Wishes, but that view is often blocked by guests that are outside on the veranda (which is open to both the public and guests of Narcoossee's). This is a photo from one of the tables with a great view of the castle. Imagine if the boys had been standing up straight, if they had been adults, or if there had been more guests out there. You can see how the view could easily become obstructed.

Some of the non-window tables have an obstructed view of the show, but you'll miss out on some things.

Overall, a fair number of Narcoossee's guests go outside onto the veranda to watch the fireworks. The view is very good and they do pipe in the music (both to the restaurant and to the veranda).

Narcoossee's, like most Signatures, can take anywhere from 90 to 120 minutes on average for a three course dinner. I would probably opt for the earlier ADR (8:00 pm) so that you're either finished with dinner or between entrees and desserts when it's time to go outside. The servers will work with you to pace your meal accordingly.

I would take 8PM because I don't like to rush this meal.

Earlier, because people who are close to finishing up at the "good" tables when Wishes starts are most likely not leaving before it's over. So your best shot at a window table is earlier and then taking your time enjoying your meal.

We have dined at Narcoosee's many times. For our family (ranging from 4-6 people) it easily can take 2 hours for a meal if ordering apps and dessert/after dinner drinks. We like to enjoy ourselves and the wait staff is never rushed. If you take the 9:15 you could very well be in the middle of your meal and if people are standing outside they could be blocking your view. Or, you might not even have a table with a view to begin with. I would definitely take the earlier reservation. If you finish early, you can walk outside and have a completely unobstructed view of the fireworks that way. (Don't forget about the water pageant, too!)

I, too, just started looking for a restaurant to enjoy the fireworks. Was able to book Narcoosee's for 7:35pm which is even earlier than the OP's time? Are we going to be able to remain after dinner? DD12 won't be happy if we sat through a long dinner and then don't see the parade or fireworks.

You can always take a little stroll around the grounds if you are finished so early that you are not comfortable staying in the restaurant. The go back to teh porch to watch the shows. The EWP is around 9:15, according to Touring Plans.

We usually have dinner, and then take the 1/2 bottle of wine that is left, and ask for 2 plastic cups, borrow a.pool towel and.sit on the beach watching wishes

You can take the wine with you?

 

[freshstart19]

Are you able to get back to the porch if you leave if you're not a hotel guest? Do like the wine idea on the beach!!

It is what is left over from the dinner...we usually still have about 1/2 bottle.

That is good to know! I want to order a Fairytale wine at some point on our trip, and it is good to know that if I am o the resort i can take the leftover back to my balcony! Thank you!
