So I have no problem with them selling a fireworks package. But gosh, $180? That seems quite steep.

Well considering its location and the distance and obstructions between it and WS lagoon is it that desirable for fireworks viewing? I'm not so sure that it is.

It's roughly the same distance from Spaceship Earth to World Showcase as it is from the train station to Cinderella Castle. If you can see the fireworks from the Polynesian, it should be fine

I have no issues with Disney having a fireworks viewing package. It’s the location and price that annoys me.
Half the show is the lagoon pieces.
This is the view from Dreamers point which is about 10 feet below and 50 foot forward of the lounge windows.
Tell me again how this is a good view?

That's true. Then again, Disney isn't exactly known for picking decent locations for their fireworks packages. Tomorrowland Terrace is also a bad location to view the projections

Must admit that I find it hard to care that much about something like this which isn't taking away a formally guest-accessible facility and that I'm not all that interesting in doing. If people want to pay the $180, that's on them. If not, the price will come down to what people are willing to pay. I assume it will be the same issue if the view isn't all that great: they will get complaints and will either stop marketing the packages or bring down the price.
If all of Disney's attempts to wring more money out the resorts to make investors happy were things like this, I wouldn't care so much.

Is there anyone actually left in these rooms/parks to purchase these “magical experiency experiences”? 
But the every one of Bob's yachting buddies told him that it was a good value and price point.Is there anyone actually left in these rooms/parks to purchase these “magical experiency experiences”?

Character dining is $60-$120 without champagne. There's an audience, just not a very discerning one.Is there anyone actually left in these rooms/parks to purchase these “magical experiency experiences”?

Just was at goofys kitchen - actually - and it only cost me two pints
Prosecco/brut all night long. There's not a snowball's chance in hell they are serving actual champagne here.
I'm not sure who thought "fireworks viewing package" was appropriate from this location. But a fool and their money are soon parted. And online reviews will pour in quickly about how poor the sightlines are and they'll likely be begging people to book this within a few months.

That’s Bob’s keen business instincts
Just so long as the bought and paid for influencers get their advanced deviled eggs and bubbly that's all Disney needs.Prosecco/brut all night long. There's not a snowball's chance in hell they are serving actual champagne here.

God forbid they actually do something that will result in mass appeal that doesn't scream out how out of touch they are with their core guest. (You know the core guests that are abandoning Disney Parks in droves because of this exact kind of thing.)

I like the idea of the reserved table for fireworks viewing (vs people just camping out for them) ...BUT $179 seems crazy
Can do the full prefixe at California Grill ($89) plus wine pairing ($72) for less than that
