So it looks like MK will close early on my bday for MNSSHP, but I would still love to watch the fireworks from somewhere. Any suggestions as to where we may be able to have dessert and have a decent view of Happily Ever After? Thank you!!

HEA won't be the show on MNSSHP nights...it will be Hallowishes (themed to the party). A great option is to go Gasparilla's at the the Grand Floridian (located by the marina). It has a wide variety of desserts, plus soft serve ice cream and Mickey bars. You can sit at a table outside overlooking the marina (which has a view of the castle) and watch the show from there. Note that last year's the fireworks were later (10 or 10:30 pm) on party nights.

Thanks for this, because I knew none of it! I'll catch HEA on the last night of my trip.

Better yet is the direct view from Polynesian. Go snag a Dole Whip at the pineapple Lanai, drinks from Trader Sam's, or snacks from Captain Cooks

Just to be clear, which is the best view from the Poly?
For me personally on the walkway by the beach at the end by the pool. It's nearly a straight shot of the fireworks. There are a lot of good locations around there though. Very pretty to walk around at night too

Thanks! Are the dessert places you mentioned in this area? Never been to Poly.

All locations I mentioned are not far apart. The Pineapple Lanai is right by the entrance to the Great Ceremonial House on the other end of the pool. Captain Cooks is inside around the corner. Trader Sam's (fun drinks) is right in the area too. Indoor or outdoor seating is available in the area.

Thanks. We'll definitely hop around and check a few (if not all) of these places out!
