Which Restaurants for Fireworks

[ccarcher]

I know that from many restaurants across Disney parks and hotels you can see the fireworks

Just wondering which ones people recomend as prime viewing locations

I have two kids with us 4 & 5 and rather than having to try to pick a good spot and make them wait around for ages, would like to incorporate it with a dinner option

The California Grill in the Contemporary Hotel is great, they pipe in the firework music for Magic Kingdom and you can also watcg the fireworks from their viewing platform outside - take something warm to wear though as it gets quite breezy as you're really high up.

In Epcot you get a great view of the fireworks from the Rose and Crown in England - you will need a table outside and try and eat about an hour before the fireworks so you can get a good table.

Thanks

I knew of the rose and crown and that looks like a good option

California grill also sounds good but not sure my kids 4&5 will eat much from the menu especially being late other than dessert

Would this be acceptable behaviour ??

I can't see there being a problem, we took a 9 month old in a pushchair when we went and she just picked off our plates (much too late for her dinner) the staff were absolutely brilliant. We've also eaten there with friends who had 2 little ones from memory they shared a meal (may have only been a starter) and then had a dessert, again not so much as a raised eyebrow. Each time there have been plenty of kiddies there of all ages.

I thought kids were not really allowed in the California Grill restaurant? We were trying persuade Granny to babysit on that night!!!

Another option might be Fantasmic at MGM, but if you want dinner you must book before you go.

Already have Fantasmic booked, with dinner at Mamma Melrose

do you get a few of the fireworks from there then ?

Ohana at the Polynesian resort is good.
They have games for children during dinner and when the fireworks are on the lights go down and the theme music is piped into the restaurant.
