Howdy DC friends!
We are looking at possibly trying for dinner at King Stephen's in October. Can you see the fireworks from the dining room? I think I heard this idea somewhere, but it's been a while. Has anyone done this successfully? What time should we make the PS? Do the PSs fill up quick?
Just wanting to try new stuff!!
Thanks in advance!

The restaurant in the castle is now called Cinderella's Royal Table. It hasn't been King Stephan's in the longest time. I think you are able to see the fireworks,but since I have never done it,I am not absolutely sure.

We have had supper there during the fire works ( the old fire works show ) and the view was not that great of the fireworks, but still if your near a window or at a window table there is a beautiful view of fantasyland :)

well thats ok .. I have a hard time remembering they changed the name .. I didnt think it was that long ago that they changed it though .. just sometime with in the last 3/4 years? I still think of it as King Stephans myself

I think we'll probably go for the view, but earlier in the evening so as to still get a good seat for the parade and fireworks. We did the CRT breakfast (used the correct name that time - don't know why it didn't come through the first time!) and then again for lunch two summers ago, but we were in the middle of the restaurant.
Would LOVE to sit by the window!!:D :) :D :) :D

IF you get seated at the window (overlooking Fantasyland) it is a SPECTACULAR view for "Wishes"! We accidentally had this happen in Dec (didn't even realize the fireworks would be on while we were having dinner!), and it was the best thing in the whole trip! I even cancelled the California Grill reservations (where we'd been hoping to watch the fireworks). The castle windows are very tall, so you can see the fireworks shoot all the way up over the Carsouel (really picturesque in and of itself). Plus, the "auxillary" fireworks are shot off from the roofs of the two buildings on each side of the castle, and we could see where they were coming from in addition to being able to watch them! If you aren't RIGHT at the window, I don't know how good of a view you get. Everyone was watching though -- they dim the lights to basically no light, and the Wishes music/narration is piped in.

This is Off Topic...but Stephen King actually lives 45 minutes away from me. His house is big and spooky looking and the gate/fence in front of the house has bats on it! It's really cool!! He's quite a guy. :bandit
