EPCOT guests looking for a different way to end their night at Walt Disney World now have another option to consider.Reservations have officially opened for the new Shiki-Sai Fireworks Dining Package, giving guests a chance to combine dinner inside the Japan Pavilion with EPCOT’s nighttime spectacular, Luminous: The Symphony of Us.Credit: Scott Smith, FlickrThe experience won’t come cheap, especially for families. However, it offers something that can be valuable after a long day at EPCOT: a meal and a designated place to watch the fireworks without having to spend part of the evening searching for a viewing location.The first available dates begin October 2, 2026, so guests planning fall trips can now add the experience to their EPCOT plans.Here’s what guests need to know before booking.EPCOT’s New Fireworks Dining Package Is Now Available to BookDisney World already offers several ways to pair dining with nighttime entertainment, and Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya is joining that group.Located inside EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion, Shiki-Sai will offer its new fireworks dining package beginning October 2.Guests who reserve the package will be seated at 8 p.m., setting up dinner around the park’s nighttime spectacular later in the evening. The experience centers around Japanese cuisine while also giving guests a place to enjoy Luminous: The Symphony of Us over World Showcase Lagoon.For visitors who already planned to eat at Shiki-Sai, the package could offer a way to combine two parts of their evening instead of treating dinner and fireworks viewing as separate plans.That becomes especially useful at EPCOT, where guests can sometimes spend a significant amount of time deciding where to watch the nighttime spectacular.Popular viewing locations around World Showcase Lagoon can attract guests well before the show begins. Depending on crowds and the desired location, some visitors may choose to secure their spot rather than continue exploring World Showcase.This dining package takes a different approach.Instead of grabbing food and then heading back outside to find somewhere to watch Luminous, guests can build the fireworks into their dinner plans.Of course, that convenience comes with a premium price.The Package Costs $120 Per AdultThe Shiki-Sai Fireworks Dining Package costs $120 per adult before tax and gratuity.Once those additional charges are included, the reported adult total reaches $149.50.Children cost $60 before tax and gratuity, bringing the total to $74.70 after both are included.That means the price can add up quickly for a family.Two adults would spend $299 after tax and gratuity. A family consisting of two adults and two children would pay $448.40.Credit: Erica Lauren, Inside the MagicThose numbers make this more than a standard EPCOT dinner. Guests are paying for the overall package, which combines the meal with the nighttime experience.Whether that price makes sense will depend heavily on how much value each family places on the food, the fireworks component, and having those experiences bundled together.Some visitors may prefer to eat elsewhere and watch Luminous from one of the many public viewing areas around World Showcase Lagoon. Others may see the package as an opportunity to turn the final portion of their EPCOT day into a more structured experience.The menu itself also plays an important role in that decision.Sushi and Sashimi Are IncludedGuests booking the package aren’t simply reserving a table for fireworks.The meal includes an appetizer, traditional sashimi, and what is described as an extensive selection of sushi. Guests will also receive an exclusive dessert and beverages that are only available as part of this particular package.That makes the experience particularly geared toward guests who already enjoy the type of food served at Shiki-Sai.Someone who isn’t interested in sushi or sashimi may have a harder time justifying the price purely for the fireworks component. On the other hand, guests who were already considering Shiki-Sai for dinner may find more appeal in combining the restaurant with Luminous.The exclusive dessert and beverages also give the package something beyond the standard meal-and-fireworks combination.Disney has increasingly used specialty food, reserved experiences, and entertainment packages to give guests additional ways to customize their park days. This offering follows that same basic idea.Instead of changing Luminous itself, Disney is giving guests another way to experience the show.Reservations Are RecommendedAnyone hoping to try the package shouldn’t necessarily count on finding an opening after arriving at EPCOT.Advance reservations are highly recommended.Limited same-day reservations may become available, but those bookings will depend entirely on availability. Disney Dining Plans also aren’t accepted for the Shiki-Sai Fireworks Dining Package.Credit: Erica Lauren, Inside the MagicThat last detail could be particularly important for guests who already purchased a dining plan for their Walt Disney World vacation.Even if most of their meals are covered through that plan, this package would need to be treated separately.The limited nature of same-day reservations also means travelers interested in the experience may want to make the decision before their trip rather than waiting until they enter EPCOT.For some guests, locking down the package in advance could also make planning the rest of an EPCOT evening easier.With an 8 p.m. seating already on the schedule, visitors can work backward when deciding when to ride attractions, explore World Showcase, shop, or visit festival booths.The Timing Could Make the Package AppealingThe 8 p.m. seating time is an important part of what Disney is offering.EPCOT days can involve a lot of walking, particularly for guests who spend significant time moving between World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature, and the different World Showcase pavilions.By evening, sitting down for a full meal can already sound appealing.Pairing that meal with Luminous gives guests another reason to slow down toward the end of their visit rather than racing between attractions until the nighttime spectacular begins.It also removes one decision from the evening.Guests who prioritize a particular fireworks view sometimes have to think about where they’ll stand, when they’ll claim a location, and how easily they can reach that area after dinner.The Shiki-Sai package creates a more organized plan: arrive for the 8 p.m. reservation, have dinner, and make Luminous part of the experience.That convenience may be one of the package’s biggest selling points.The Price Will Still Be the Biggest QuestionAt nearly $150 per adult once tax and gratuity are included, the Shiki-Sai Fireworks Dining Package won’t make sense for every EPCOT visitor.A couple is looking at nearly $300. Add children, and the cost can move beyond $400 relatively quickly.That’s a substantial amount of money to dedicate to one portion of a Walt Disney World day.But Disney isn’t necessarily positioning experiences like this as replacements for the standard way of visiting EPCOT.Credit: DisneyGuests can still watch Luminous without purchasing a dining package. The new Shiki-Sai offering simply creates another premium option for visitors willing to pay for a meal and a more structured fireworks experience.That distinction matters.Families trying to keep their EPCOT day affordable aren’t losing access to the nighttime spectacular. They can still choose a regular meal, grab something from a quick-service location, or eat around World Showcase before finding their own viewing area.The Shiki-Sai package is aimed at guests looking for something more specialized.EPCOT Guests Now Have Another Choice for Their EveningWith reservations officially open, travelers visiting EPCOT beginning October 2 can now decide whether Shiki-Sai’s newest offering deserves a place in their vacation plans.The package brings together an appetizer, sashimi, an extensive sushi selection, exclusive dessert and beverages, and an evening viewing of Luminous: The Symphony of Us.Credit: DisneyAdults pay $120 before tax and gratuity, while children pay $60. Advance reservations are recommended, limited same-day availability may be offered, and Disney Dining Plans cannot be used for the experience.Ultimately, the biggest decision may come down to convenience versus cost.Guests can certainly enjoy dinner and EPCOT’s fireworks without spending nearly $150 per adult. But for visitors who already want to dine at Shiki-Sai and would rather have their evening entertainment worked into the experience, the new package offers a different way to finish the night.And with bookings now available, guests planning EPCOT visits for October and beyond can officially start making those reservations.The post Disney Introduces New $150 Fireworks Experience at EPCOT appeared first on Inside the Magic.
