You have the option of booking Fastpass+ experiences for parades and fireworks. Since you have to use your 3 pre-booked Fastpass+ reservations before you can get a 4th Fastpass+, I do not recommend pre-booking the parades or fireworks. However, you have to determine if it is valuable to your family to save time waiting for for the fireworks/parades or waiting in a queue for a popular attraction.
For most rides/attractions, you can book your Fastpass+ experiences starting at midnight on the 60th day before your trip. However, parades and fireworks experiences don’t appear in the option list until anywhere from 30 to 2 days before your trip. So even if you don’t see the option to book a parade/fireworks experience, keep checking MyDisneyExperience.com daily for the option to appear.
Magic Kingdom
- None
Epcot
- Illuminations – reserved viewing spot behind the Tower Gift Shop at the entrance to World Showcase from Future World. Viewing spot opens 30 minutes before Illuminations is scheduled to begin. I recommend arriving no later than 10 minutes before the show.
Hollywood Studios
- Fantasmic! – There doesn’t appear to be any reserved viewing for Fantasmic!, just a special line for those with Fastpass+ and then everyone is allowed into the theater at the same time and seating is first come, first serve. It is better to book a Fantasmic Dining Experience if you want reserved seating.
Animal Kingdom
- Rivers of Light – Fastpass+ guests are seated closest to Expedition Everest while those that booked the dining package are seated closest to Finding Nemo: The Musical.
