I think this is a great deal. I would love to do it but my next trip will just be myself and my daughter who will be 12. Not worth the price for her since she can't drink.
I wonder if they've set up a contingency for monorail breakdowns. Will the guests be transported in buses? Maybe they should delete the word Sky from their advertising.
Hope this doesn't cause backups on the Monorail when they take up numerous cars, multiple times.
So they are basically taking away the public 4th floor deck? I think that's really crappy for anyone staying at the contemporary or blt not in a park view room.
It seems like a pretty good value (relatively speaking) for what you get - drinks, multiple courses, transportation, reserved seating, tip. If it's available in April I'd see if my sisters wanted to do it for our trip. One sister hasn't been to WDW in almost 20 years, and she wants to see Wishes in the park, however we're going post-Easter week and I just think it's going to be so crowded in the park. This could be a fun, splurge-y alternative.
That sounds pretty cool! I am tempted to look into it for my next trip. From the name "Highway in the Sky" I thought they were serving dinner on the People Mover!
I think you shouldn't talk yourself out of it!I'm trying to talk myself out of it
Why, why do they keep taunting me?
I've never paid that much attention. Research trip!!I think you shouldn't talk yourself out of it!
We recently stayed at Contemporary and traveled to Citricos for dinner. 3 courses at Citricos + sides and no alcohol makes this "fireworks package" look amazing for the price!!
@yulilin3 ~ have you ever noticed if there are private viewing areas off of the banquet rooms at Contemporary? I know there have been wedding receptions where guests move to a deck to watch Wishes. Characters have gone out with the guests and I always thought it wasn't a public viewing area ~ somewhere specifically for the wedding party... unless they reserve the 4th floor deck for the wedding guests?
If I had the money I would do this, no hesitationI'm trying to talk myself out of it

Wait a minute......... are they taking the regular 4th floor viewing deck offline for this?
Thanks, Hopper! That sounds like the ideal location for the package fireworks viewing with dessert from CG!AT CG there are two observation decks on the north side. Diners use the one closest to monorail. The other seems to be used for private parties .... there is one, or two private rooms at CG. All my visits it has been empty but twice, including last month there was a wedding reception in those rooms. They then came outside on that deck and they took photos of the bride&groom with fireworks behind them. I could see them using a room for the desserts then out to that deck for fireworks.

If looking at blog photo, it looks like it. But there may be other options, that is what we are hoping to find out.

I think that scenario is much more likely than the 4th Floor Deck.AT CG there are two observation decks on the north side. Diners use the one closest to monorail. The other seems to be used for private parties .... there is one, or two private rooms at CG. All my visits it has been empty but twice, including last month there was a wedding reception in those rooms.
