Is EPCOT’s Reserved Fireworks Viewing Worth the Price? We Tried It to Find Out

EPCOT at Walt Disney World offers a nightly fireworks spectacular that is a must see experience for the end of your day at one of my favorite theme parks. Luminous The Symphony of Us is a mix of fireworks, fountains, music, and lights that incorporates songs from the Disney catalog.

EPCOT offers paid reserved viewing for this popular show and we just experienced it at Rose & Crown in the World Showcase. Is this paid upcharge worth it? Let’s get into our experience.

Rose & Crown Dining Room Fireworks Viewing Price

EPCOT offers three reserved fireworks viewing which includes Rose & Crown, Spice Road Table, and the extravagant GEO-82 adult-only viewing.

Your dining package at Rose & Crown in the UK Pavilion is a pre fix menu where you can choose:

• Selection of unlimited beverages

The selection of unlimited beverages does include beer and a specialty cocktail for adults which is a nice perk. The cost per adult is $92 per person and children ages 3 to 9 are $41 per person.

Is Reserved Fireworks Viewing for EPCOT Worth It?

As always, answering this question can be so subjective. For me, it’s worth the cost to have a guaranteed place to sit and enjoy a nice meal while watching a nighttime spectacular like the EPCOT fireworks. Our visit was during one of the hottest days of the year and we were exhausted by the time fireworks rolled around. My group was extremely happy I booked this package when it came time to attend. Otherwise I don’t think we would have lasted for the fireworks!

But do you need to purchase paid firework viewing to see the EPCOT fireworks? Absolutely not. Since the show takes place in the World Showcase Lagoon, it is quite easy to get a good view for the show with minimal time to prepare. You can read more about our favorite spots to watch the EPCOT fireworks in our guide.

Paid firework viewing is a luxury expense but it’s one you might be glad you splurged on after a long day at EPCOT. The Rose & Crown is also a good value because of the unlimited alcohol adults can enjoy. Let’s go over the menu, the experience, and the fireworks view so you know what to expect if you decide to splurge on EPCOT reserved fireworks viewing.

Rose & Crown Food Review- Fish and Chips and Unlimited Beer!

You can check in 15 minutes before your reservation but we noticed some guests checked in even earlier. You can view the pre-fix menu above which includes the Rose & Crown famous fish and chips.

We made use of the unlimited alcoholic beverages during our dining package. Considering most drinks at EPCOT are around $10 and up, this is a good value to take advantage of.

For my appetizer, I ordered the Coronation Salad.

My partner ordered the Scotch Egg. The menu at the Rose & Crown is known for their British fare so if you’re interested in dining here anyways, this could also make the fireworks package worth it!

Here are the famous Rose & Crown Fish and Chips. According to my partner, these are worth the hype. He was excited to try these anyways so it’s just another way the Rose & Crown fireworks package made sense for us.

I was thrilled to see they offered a vegetarian version of the Hot Pot.

Unfortunately, my excitement was short lived as this was definitely one of the worst Impossible items I’ve had at Walt Disney World. My family also tried it and agreed, this is not one of the best. The Impossible meat seemed undercooked and more chewy than usual. Overall, the flavor was not great.

The Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert was a favorite though amongst my group. We all ordered it and finished it very quickly!

Is the Rose & Crown Firework View Good?

When we checked in, there was a chance of rain coming soon so cast members seated us all on the top patio. Right before the show started, we were moved to the bottom patio. This is where they typically sit you so keep that in mind. This was an amazing view, we had direct eyeshot of the fountains in World Showcase lagoon.

This was our view from the viewing area with barely any zooming in on my camera. Our waitress kept refilling our drinks during the show as well so that was appreciated. This was a great way to end our day at EPCOT especially when our group was tired and worn out from the heat.
