Sweet Tooth Paradise at the Wishes Dessert Party
 The Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Park is known for its incredible fireworks shows. Most recently, their newest show, Wishes Nighttime Spectacular, has been a big hit and one of the most elaborate and beautiful fireworks shows the Magic Kingdom has ever put on. There are a variety of great spots to watch the fireworks from, but after wandering around this Orlando theme park all day, you might find yourself wanting a bit of a snack before heading back to your hotel. Food is another thing the Magic Kingdom definitely doesn’t lack. You can have a great hot dog at Casey’s or a satisfying meal at The Crystal Palace, but there’s nothing like watching an incredible fireworks show from a special, private viewing terrace surrounded by the best Disney desserts. That’s what you’ll get at the Wishes Dessert Party. This great event takes place in the Tomorrowland Terrace’s Noodle Station and requires a prior reservation. The Wishes Dessert Party began back in June and was only supposed to run until August, but thanks to popular demand the party will now be running until November 1st! The Wishes Dessert Party is a great addition to Tomorrowland. Recently, the area has been a bit quiet due to some of the renovations being done on the area. Space Mountain has been closed for quite some time now. The popular ride is reportedly getting a big facelift that will include new video and effects along the track and even a rumored alien mascot. The Tomorrowland Transit Authority has also been closed for renovation, making the futuristic section of the Magic Kingdom more like a ghost town. That’s why the Wishes Dessert Party is such a great addition to the area. With the Wishes Dessert Party, you will have access to an entire buffet of desserts and beverages. From chocolate covered strawberries to crème brulee, this event is a sweet tooth paradise. You’ll get a sweet treat and the best view of the fireworks you can find. We can’t think of a better way to end a great day at the Magic Kingdom than with a night of incredible desserts and the wonderful Wishes Nighttime Spectacular!

The Best Fireworks Spots in Walt Disney World
 At the end of the day when your feet can not take anymore walking and your head can no longer support your Mickey ears, the Walt Disney World theme parks offer the best ending to your day with their fantastic fireworks shows. Out of the four Walt Disney World theme parks in Orlando, EPCOT and the Magic Kingdom fireworks are the best around. Unfortunately, many tourists visiting the parks know this, so the usual spots can get extremely crowded. Even though you have to look up, not ahead, to see the massive display of fireworks, the last thing anyone would want is to be squished between the spectators as the dazzling colors light up the sky. So, OrlandoFunTickets.com is here to provide you with a few secret spots to check out the fireworks. The Magic Kingdom is now running their Wishes Nighttime Spectacular. It’s one of Disney’s brightest and best displays yet. We recommend staying as late as possible in the theme park to catch the last show of the night. Many folks are usually on their way out of the park and try to catch the show from the Main Street USA area of the Magic Kingdom. Your best bet is to do the opposite. Head to Fantasyland right by the Mad Tea Party teacups ride and have a seat on the stone barrier surrounding the landscaping near the ride. The view of the sky is usually clear and free of any large trees or buildings to block your view. If you’re a photographer there will be plenty of space to set up your tripod and experiment with nighttime photography to get the best shots around. If you’re over at the EPCOT theme park, you’ll be treated to the IllumiNations fireworks show on the big lake in the World Showcase. Illuminations not only features fireworks but a lovely laser light show that goes with the multi-cultural theme and promotion of unity the World Showcase at EPCOT endorses. The Rose & Crown Pub in the United Kingdom pavilion is a great spot to check out the show. There is an outdoor dining area perfect for viewing IllumiNations. Walk up to the order window outside and order yourself the great fish and chips before taking a seat for a great view. If you’re looking to watch the fireworks from a hotel, the beach at the Polynesian Resort is a great spot to check out both of the park’s fireworks shows. The location can get a bit crowded but nowhere near the level of the parks. If you’re hungry, then the California Grill at the Contemporary also offers a fantastic view of the show as you dine. Whichever you choose to do, make sure you get to your spot an hour early to pick out your viewing spot. As always, check out OrlandoFunTickets.com for the best offers on Disney tickets around. The best fireworks in Orlando are only a click away. Labels: EPCOT, EPCOT attractions, Fireworks in Orlando, Magic Kingdom, Magic Kingdom Attractions, wishes firework show
