In November of 2021, we went to Disney Planet on what I will usually take into consideration as the “yes” trip. What I imply by this is that we mentioned “yes” to a ton of items that we commonly say no to. Just take a Lyft as a substitute of waiting for the bus? Of course! Want an added memento? Of course! Want to go to a number of signature dining encounters? Certainly! 1 of the largest “yeses” we fully commited to was the Magic Kingdom 50th Fireworks Dessert Social gathering. This is one function I have normally handed on, figuring it just was not well worth the income to see a fireworks display we could see for totally free. Nevertheless, immediately after quite a few cancelled trips, we had been there and we ended up completely ready to rejoice!
For my relatives of 4, at the time comprised of two older people and two young children aged 3-9, it value us $366 right before tax to go to this ticketed celebration. For this rate, we had chosen to attend the pre-bash, which signifies we get entry to the treats and beverages ahead of the fireworks. For this party, you go to Tomorrowland Terrace where you are presented a wristband and entry to trays of some compact bite-sized desserts, a cheese and cracker display, and an assortment of drinks. There was wine, beer, and a variety of non-alcoholic drinks accessible for the duration of the dessert celebration.
Our spouse and children chose to e book the selection in which you are seated on the garden in entrance of the castle, as opposed to a desk at Tomorrowland Terrace in which you would keep throughout the occasion. I chose this so we’d be front and center, and I can say that the seating space was good. We were being escorted by cast customers to an location reserved for company with the event prior to the start out of the fireworks. We were being directly in entrance on the castle, but there were being spots for guests that were in front of us, so it was not a “front row” perspective as much as just a nicely centered grassy space.
With all of those facts out of the way, let us start out examining the occasion. The foods assortment was just okay. We had possibilities of several desserts, but for the price we paid, I believed there would have been additional. It was unrestricted, so you could surely acquire as considerably as you preferred, but we all agreed a minimal far more wide variety would have been good. I also imagine it would have been definitely nice to have a couple much more savory alternatives, as there have been in the previous. With the exception of cheese and crackers, anything was a sweet handle. As a sweets lover I was ok with this, but for the cost, it would not hurt to have a very little additional assortment. 
The place you are found for the viewing is a pretty see of the castle, but now that there are projections down Principal Street, you unquestionably are not seeing the “full picture” from the vantage issue of this seating spot. For us, that was good. We were being pleased to have a cozy place and not have to struggle crowds for it, but if you are dying to see the Main Street projections, this seating locale will not be great.
Now, did I obtain it was a deserving splurge? I can actually say I did not. We had a terrific time and I am glad we did it Once, but it is not a splurge I will repeat. The good reasons for this are a lot of, but just one of the main kinds is that as an grownup who does not drink liquor, and now has a son that is a “Disney Adult” (the moment a child turns ten, they are paying adult price ranges), I just cannot see the value in this party for the reason that we really don’t consume the beer and wine. The accessibility to the bundled liquor surely improves the value of this package, but as a non-drinker, that is not anything I have to have to think about. No one in my household is the type to take in a ton at once, so we undoubtedly did not get our money’s worthy of on the foods offerings. A further reason I contemplate this a one-and-completed occasion is that the food stuff was decent, but almost nothing superior than the conventional dessert choices you get at the stop of any Disney buffet dinner. I’d instead go do a character meal for the selling price, enjoy my desserts, and then go catch the fireworks after.
Over-all, I do believe this function is really worth it in a few scenarios. If this is a after-in-a-life time vacation and you want to be certain you get a good watch of the fireworks, go for it. If you are like my household and you want to practical experience as significantly of what Disney has to offer, even if it is just as soon as, go for it. If you are a typical visitor and have never tried it, I’d say believe tough about it. Though my last verdict is that it was worthy of it for us for 1 time, I can not say this it is universally well worth it, nor do I imagine it is a “can’t miss” knowledge. I’m glad we did it… but we will not be performing it again.
