Viewing spots for Happily Ever After with seating?

[lucky978]

Good morning everyone! We will be traveling to Disney at the end of January and want to see the evening fireworks at the Magic Kingdom. Are there any viewing spots that have seating? I'm willing to arrive early or use a Lightning Lane if needed (if that's even a thing for the fireworks?). I just know I cannot stand that long (or sit on the ground).

Thanks everyone!

If you're okay with not having the best view; theres a bench in the middle of the bridge in between main st and. tomorrowland that we use when traveling with my mom for the same reason. Again, certainly not the best view and you are going to miss most of the projections, however it keeps you out of the crowds of main st. and gives you a seat off the ground. I'd say arriving 30 mins prior should be fine.

The other option is the dessert party which would be a guaranteed seat.

Another option would be the turrets behind the castle as they have bench style seating. There would be no view of the projections, but you'll have a better view of the bigger fireworks and have the benefit of lighter crowds in the area. There is not a ton of seating, but we have never had an issue finding a spot showing up within the half hour before the show starts. Another option, that we have never done, could be grabbing a table at Pinocchio Village Haus.

I have watched from Storybook Circus, which has ample seating, but the music isn't pumped in loud enough (in my opinion) and you miss out on the castle fireworks to a certain extent.

The only guaranteed seating is the dessert party. There are a few of them and only “Seats & Sweets” offer seating during fireworks.

This is definitely your best bet for fireworks with a view and a seat. But it's not cheap ($110-$120, I believe) and seats can go quickly - it might already to too late for late January. You can check on the WDW web site, under Enchanting Extras.......

We sat at the tables outside of the ice cream shop on Main St and lots of people sat in the chairs there to watch the fireworks. It was a good view if you were right at the front, otherwise the umbrellas blocked the sky.
