I Spent $449 For This Disney World Perk, and I’d Do It Again in a Heartbeat

Is there anything as magical as getting to watch the fireworks at Magic Kingdom at the end of your day?

Fireworks in Magic Kingdom!

Well, what would you say to watching them from a private boat while floating on the lagoon with snacks in hand and zero crowds? Yeah, possible, and yes it’s a splurge — but if you’re looking for something extra special (and I mean really special), this might be one of the best-kept Disney World secrets. For $449, you can book a fireworks cruise that gives you front-row views of Magic Kingdom or EPCOT’s nighttime spectaculars—from the water. We recently did one and we’re already thinking about when to book it again. Let’s talk details.

I Rented a Pontoon Boat for $50 at Magic Kingdom and What Happened Next Will Shock and Terrify You

By Sara McOmber 8 Comments

By AJ and the DFB Team 17 Comments

A new resort is coming to Disney World! This deluxe Resort will be “themed to complement its natural surroundings” on the shoreline of Bay Lake, tucked between Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.

The Resort will house more than 900 hotel rooms as well as proposed Disney Vacation Club villas.
