Rose & Crown Fireworks dining package

[mikalkwin]

Like I said before, we are 2 adults, 1 child. None of us is drinking any alcohol. My DH is a picky eater and only eat fries. We are definitely paying for the uncrowded seat / view, knowing it is not even the best. We are ok with that.

We were just at Rose and Crown few weeks ago and really enjoyed the Fireworks Dining. Each person gets to pick their own appetizer, entree, and each person also gets the three small desert samples as well. Also included is unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks.

As we were there on a night that rain was a possibility we dined under the awning next to the restaurant but were free to go down to the patio afterwards for the show weather permitting, which we did and it was great. I think their policy is rain or shine and think the weather would have to be extreme to cancel but not sure how they handle it in those cases.

Do you order from the regular dinner menu? I just made a reservation for September. The only thing my DH will eat would be the Pub burger, without the beer cheese. Hoping that is an option for the fireworks package. Thanks!

Just don't expect to be able to see the Stargate. You can see all the other parts very well. But, the projections on the Stargate will not be seen.

No they have a dedicated menu for the Fireworks dining and if memory serves the burger was not an option. I remember fish and chips, bangers and mash, and shepherds pie being options but can’t remember anything else.

Thank you. I did a little more digging & found the menu from Disney Food Blog. I’ll have to see if my DH will eat the shepherd’s pie. I think I’ll end up cancelling. We’re not that big on fireworks. We’re normally fine just seeing them as we walk past. I’m more interested in seeing the water screens so I guess R & C isn’t the best spot for that anyway. I think for that money, we’d be happier with dinner at the Boathouse or LeCellier. Hopefully the days we’re there will be a bit less crowded & I can check the show out without too much hassle. Thanks again!

Second guessing my booking here. Not a fan of any of the entree choices. May just cancel and book a nice dinner elsewhere. Haven't had a problem finding a decent spot for harmonious on my last trip.

Those views look pretty good, so good in fact, that I looked for availability for our stay in August and the package is there, available to book. But my main reservation is the price. I know It is the same for all packages including drinks, but when the “value” in the package (apart from the view) is having unlimited alcoholic drinks, it does not seem very fair that you have to pay $89 for children and young adults aged 10 to 20!
I know it would be exactly the same for adults not partaking in any alcoholic drinks too, it is a real shame there are not two price points, one with and one without, but I guess this would cut down on Disney’s profit margins!

I totally agree. My youngest son is only 18. And from what we can tell he can't get a souvenir cup because it is for 9 yo and younger.

Disney has had special events, dessert parties, dining packages or shows (HDDR) ... that all included alcohol ... for years and there has never been two prices that I've ever seen. Many of these events would be impossible to manage who is drinking and who isn't, and it puts extra work & stress on the CMs to "police" the tables so guests are not sharing without paying. I think the biggest reason is the limited space at these events and they have to determine a cost that makes business sense, and then guests can decide if it will be of value to them. Most these events sell out, so Disney doesn't have to worry about "discounting" the price. Most guests don't blink at paying for the exclusivity plus what they offer.

Note: I travel with DS#1 (disabled) who doesn't drink, I have no issue paying the adult price for him at these events.

How early can you check in for an 8:15 ressie?

Went last week. Checked in at 7:55 and were seated immediately.

Soup of Day was a Tomato and Catch was Salmon. DS#2 got those and said both were very good.

 

[focusondisney]

Thanks!

Here was our food etc

Appetizer: Tomato Soup, Scotch Egg, Cheese Plate
Entree: Salmon (Catch of Day), Fish & Chips
Dessert: You get a trio of three for each person
Drink: DS#2 had beer and I had the Duchess drink

Fish & Chips were excellent as usual but after a very hot day I wish I had ordered the Salmon for something lighter.

That salmon looks pretty good!
That wasn’t offered when we went - I totally would have gotten that.
But the fish and chips were very good.

The value was there for us.
Real food instead of mostly sweets, plenty of adult beverage options and a nice little dessert trio.

Hope you all have fun if you go!

I think the value is there too. 3 alcoholic drinks = break even and that doesn't include the advantage of the table/view of the fireworks. We really enjoyed that and were fine with the side view. Service was excellent! I would do it again.

DS#2 is a hardcore Illuminations fan and I totally expected him to trash Harmonious but he loved it. It was not what he expected and thinks they did a great job with it.

When have they been releasing Rose and Crown Fireworks dining package reservations lately? I tried this morning at 6am for my 60+ day and there was nothing for 60 to 60 +8 available. I was doubting that it filled up at the +8 day already. So I was thinking they were not released yet.

 

[mikalkwin]

I don’t remember the exact date but yes, for late august they were released quite late too. After the 60+10 (I want to say about 2 weeks after or so).

 

[dandee]

Anyone book this for a large party with multiple tables? I had to book 2 tables of 4 for the 8 of us for next Saturday. Is there a way to get us all together, or next to each other? If they assign tables before, we may be out of luck. I was hoping checking in early would do it, now I am worried...

My answer is way late, I got carried away reading posts! Hope you had a great time!

I feel you. Hubby and I don't drink. And clearly our 11 year doesn't either, lol.
