Perfect timing or worst timing ever?

[Annick]

I've searched through old threads and couldn't really find my answer. I've never been to Disney and I'm thinking I might be underestimating waiting times...

I have a 6:55pm reservation for CRT on my dd's 5th birthday. We are really looking forward to our first Disney fireworks. (Going in July, so Happily Ever After show). I've read conflicting information. Some say you can get stuck under the castle and not allowed to leave if it's too close to the fireworks starting... I would be terribly disappointed.

Do you think 2 hours is enough time to meet and greet and take pictures and eat and THEN successfully getting outside to find a spot to watch the fireworks? Am I too optimistic?

(side question : where should be go when we exit the castle to see those fireworks?? Sorry. Complete newbie and completely overwhelmed!)

I don't have an answer but am also interested. Earliest CRT we could get is 715.

The meal can take well over an hour even if you order right away, we were there a little over an hour, to eat and see the princesses, so you should be fine.
