Thoughts on my EEH & Contemporary Fireworks Plan?

[phoenixconfidential]

Background:
I am purposefully staying at Dolphin b/c of the EEH to build in a bit more flexibility into our schedule without rushing or fighting crowds. This is the 2nd time we've been to Disney (1st time: 2018) but with prices and other interests, not sure when/if we will go again. We also have not eaten at California Grill

Plan:
It just got announced you can have dinner on at the top of contemporary resort w/ food from CG and view of fireworks. I didn't like any of the other firework options for MK or Epcot that were just released. I was thinking I could do this on our MK day - go early to park, mid-day break, go to dinner @ Contemporary & then EEH at MK afterwards.

Should I do this a different night than EEH MK? 2nd Option: One day is Morning @ AK with a 530 showing of Cirque.... BUT i don't know how long the show will last. In theory, I'd like to think we could make it to Contemporary in time?? **EDIT** Just saw the show is 90 mins. Celebration at the Top link doesn't say when the food starts but the fireworks start at 9pm

Thoughts/Feedback?

just an FYI, the event at the Contemporary is more like a cocktail hour, serving sushi and small plates of food which I'm assuming would begin at 8 p.m. So If you've got plans to go to Cirque at 5:30, and it's a 90-minute show, it may be tight trying to get back from Disney Springs to the Contemporary for 8 p.m (description calls it an elevated cocktail hour) --plus the event continues after the fireworks with cordials and coffee and more desserts. Fireworks show lasts about 15-20 minutes? I think you'd be rushing to get back to MK after all of that!

I absolutely love the Contemporary and loved CG fireworks dining, but the description of that event makes it sound like a corporate happy hour. It's not even in the dining room - it's in the private event space.

Thanks guys! After hearing both feedback, I think i'm going to skip this event.
