Epcot Fireworks Dining - November 2024

[ST1TCH]

Posting this for discussion and to see if anyone else has noticed some weirdness with Rose & Crown pertaining to the first 1.5 weeks of November (what is open so far to book). Also posting here instead of the reservations forum as this seems more active.

The Rose & Crown fireworks dining is always a highlight for us on our Disney trips. Ever since our 60 days opened up, I've been trying to get a reservation and as each day opens, it shows unavailable. Regular dining reservations at Rose & Crown are available but not the fireworks dining. Rose & Crown fireworks is wide open for the rest of September and October (minus 1 day in October).

Spice Road Table fireworks dining is wide open for that time period as of this morning.

Have discussed this with my Disney vacation planner and she said there was some discussion on this in one of her internal groups and no one seems to know what's going on here.

Are Rose & Crown and Spice Road Table the only 2 options for the Epcot fireworks dining? Seem to be...

Anyone know what might be going on here or have any theories? Something changing with Rose & Crown during that time? Changes to the Epcot fireworks dining? Changes to Epcot fireworks all together as far as timing, etc.?

I just came here to inquire about this. My window opened this morning for the 2nd week of Nov. and I saw the same thing. I did book an 8:30 at R&C to be safe, but I am not sure that would even be good for fireworks. I've never eaten there before and worry I'll be stuck inside not being able to see anything.

I don't have a definitive answer to this, but I did this a few years ago and I can remember then that the fireworks package released a few weeks after my dining window had opened. I am also looking for the November, so I am hoping this will be the case this time too!

I think it is only Spice Road and Rose and Crown that offer this and the Spice Road menu does not appeal to me. I also believe that the only way you can guarantee a view of the fireworks is with the package, a normal reservation you could be seated without a view.

We’re trying to book this week of Nov 16th. Has anybody gotten this reservation lately?

I seem to remember this happening last year and I think it was due to candlelight processional dining packages. Reservations at Rose and Crown for fireworks were really delayed.

 

[ST1TCH]

Glad to see I'm not alone at least. @TammiMcMan your response gives me some hope that it will open up at some point. When does the candlelight processional start? I didn't think it was 1st week of November.

I just googled this and see that CP starts on 11/29 this year. Hopefully fireworks dining is just a touch delayed.

I’m sorry, I wish I could remember it exactly but I was planning a holiday trip last year at this time and I just recall the concern about delays with Rose and Crown fireworks specifically.

I am trying to book it on November 17th with no luck so far. Spice Road Table DID have availability for their fireworks dining package on November 17th at 6 am this morning.

Glad I am not alone - up at 5:55 last week to book and noticed all of November is not yet available. Hoping it gets released soon!

 

[ST1TCH]

Looks like something is happening - all the days in November now show the blue available - BUT if you pick one it says no reservations available -- this is as of 11:45am central time on 9/18/24.

We were booking for 4 ppl. I just checked and there’s still spots open during our week in Nov but only when I put 4ppl. those same days show no availability if I change it to 2ppl. Sorry

Booked for 11/11 - so excited and glad to be able to stop checking for it 15x a day!!!!

 

[champagne27]

Also - did anyone notice the price seemed to decrease? Wonder if they changed the menu?

I've been trying to book Nov 28th dining package since our 60 day mark, but no luck so far. Hoping they will open up some slots as we approach our trip. A little worried Thanksgiving might throw things off.
