How to Use This Guide

For fireworks views, try La Hacienda de San Angel at EPCOT or book a dinner that finishes right before the show. For immersive theming, Space 220, Skipper Canteen, and Storybook Dining at Artist Point are standouts. And if characters are a priority, head straight to the Character Dining section above.
