IllumiNations Dessert Party is a GO!

by Matt Mehaffey

Every day at Walt Disney World’s Epcot is capped off with a spectacular
fireworks celebration called IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. I have been a fan of this show ever since I saw it for the first time nearly 10 years ago. It’s a powerful show that celebrates the diversity of people everywhere while at the same time casts a strong vision of peace and unity.

Ever since my wife and I adopted two boys from the other side of the globe, IllumiNations has taken on an even greater meaning for us. While others might view our Magical Family as “different from normal” we rarely recognize those differences. Our boys may not look like us but they are us. Watching IllumiNations with our boys is always a special experience.

The only thing I do not enjoy about IllumiNations is the waiting. In fact, to get a good spot to view the fireworks you might have to wait upward to an hour or more. Try doing that with little ones and it’s even more insane.

But what if you and your family could get the best seat in the house in a roped off area and not have to jostle with the crowds?

What if you could be enjoying delicious desserts and hot coffee specifically catered to you while watching the show?

If you are looking for a special way to “plus” your Magical Families weekend then the IllumiNations Dessert Party is the perfect add-on. We’ve reserved the viewing area at the United Kingdom pavilion (see photo), which is certain to be the ideal spot for viewing the show while enjoying the company of other Magical Families.

Tickets for this part of Magical Families costs $30 per person, ages 3 and older. If you wish to take part in this special event, register on the Magical Families event site.

    Do we really need a ticket for an infant?

      Glad you asked because we need to update this information. Tickets are required for anyone ages 3 and older (same as Disney Parks admission requirements).
