I did one over the summer at MK. I felt it was worth it. My DD, while 15, has high functioning autism and trouble with crowds. We tour in our own special way, but in 4 trips she had never seen fireworks at MK. She used have such an aversion to noise I didn’t try fireworks, and once when I was goaded into trying it, had to run down Main Steeet, USA with her in my arms while she screamed. As she has matured, she has been able to try new things.
Without sounding too over the top, watching her see the fireworks and the projections with a sparkle in her eye made the price worth it for me. Everyone has things they value, and it’s great when something that costs a lot of money ends up having a lot of value.
She synced the soundtrack and listened through her earbuds, so she barely heard the fireworks, and no one was touching her at all. We sat in the back, closer to the middle than the coveted left back fence, but we had plenty of room. Outside our safe space looked pretty much like chaos to me.
ETA: we did kind of make it our dinner. We had BoG for lunch at 2:00 or something like that, then had a snack when we got back to the resort.
