4. Third stop, back to the Contemporary!
After the main course, it’s time to board the monorail again and head back to Disney’s Contemporary Resort. This is perhaps the sweetest part of the evening. Enjoy an assortment of desserts, along with cordials and coffee as you sit out on a private patio reserved exclusively for Guests on the Highway in the Sky Dine Around.
3. Enjoy your happily ever after.
From the private patio at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, not only will you relax and enjoy sweet treats and coffee. You’ll also have a prime location and opportunity for viewing the Happily Ever After fireworks spectacular over Cinderella Castle. What a way to end the journey around the highway in the sky!
2. Mingling is encouraged.
Whether you’re enjoying this experience by yourself or with a large group of friends and family, you’ll be afforded the opportunity to mingle with, and get to know, other Guests who are also enjoying the experience alongside you. Share a story, have some laughs—maybe even make a new friend along the way! Don’t be shy—some of the best friendships are born at Disney World.
1. Dine around, rain or shine.
It’s important to know that the Highway in the Sky Dine Around takes place, regardless of the weather. The experience will take place as planned, even if it’s raining or cold outside. Be sure to dress for the weather, keeping in mind that you’ll be outside briefly as you board and disembark from the monorail.
