I have an autistic child where this might be a huge help - is it quiet? I'm wondering if it'd be a good spot to recharge.
I'm going nuts here, I swear that we have been at the MK, watching Christmas parades on non MVMCP nights. When did that change?
See the review in Post #363. Only 1 DISer has reviewed their Cabana rental.I have an autistic child where this might be a huge help - is it quiet? I'm wondering if it'd be a good spot to recharge.

Well, at $100 a head, if you had 10 friends (or even 5 couples), it wouldn't be a bad deal. But one person shelling it ALL out for their family would be painful.Completely off topic but I was looking around different things to do on NYE at Disney and came across a specialty cruise that launches from one of the MK resorts, on a pontoon boat that holds up to 10 people. Includes a pre party that serves appetizers, desserts and beverages and then the actual "cruise" includes snacks and soft drinks. The whole thing starts at 9:30 for the NYE fireworks at midnight. Price with tax $957.44
The Grand Yacht 1 on the same night for 13 people $2,022.44
Anyone else reserved one of these recently? I'd like to hear an update on the reserved fireworks/parade viewing spots. I normally wouldn't go for one of these, but I reserved one for Christmas day because it will be nice to have a quiet rest place with the crazy crowds...and also to have reserved parade and fireworks viewing. Will cancel though if no reserved viewing area.
We also have one reserved for Christmas Day! We may be tent neighbors
I'm still on the fence, about 70% sure I want it and 30% considering canceling. It's only 5 of us, so without the 3 extras ppl it's a lot more expensive per person
Hi! We're here now and I'm rushing around so I'll quickly let y'all know we rented one of these yesterday for our family of four with a DS7 and DD5. We were very happy with the parade spots! We were able to watch the 3pm parade and the MVMCP parade at 8:30 from under the Christmas tree on Main Street. We didn't fare as well with the fireworks. They said in front of the Plaza and we couldn't really decide where we should be and just found a good spot close by and then my DD5 fell asleep in my lap.
We were also in the back tent like PP. my kids loved that they had some space to safely run around and get their wiggles out while DH and I rested our stroller pushing feet.
I can answer quick questions and will post more when we're home!
Yes. See post -#349.Is it possible to order food to the cabana?
So I'm assuming those white couches either have removable washable slip covers, or are a non-fabric material that can be wiped down. Otherwise, ick.
Do you get to keep that Monorail blanket/towel that they put in there?

Just wanted to thank you for all the great info on the Kingdom Cabanas - we kept our reservation for one on December 30 and just got back from our trip. We loved everything about it except for the fireworks experience. They still don't have that process created, so our viewing for both fireworks shows did not go as explained but we still had fun nonetheless. Our group was two parents, one nine year old and a senior citizen. If anyone has specific questions, I'm happy to answer. The one thing I didn't come across in your discussion above is that when you order food to the cabana, you can use your quick service dining allotments which was an unexpected surprise. There is a phone number given at the start of your rental and you can literally text your order to the cabana attendant which was a huge convenience on an extremely busy day in MK.
Thanks for sharing. At least I'm not the only person to book one! ;-)
Mind if I ask, what did they tell you about the fireworks viewing? I never did say anything about our experience since it ended up not being a big deal, but probably should have.

Did you have reserved area for the FOF parade?
