EPCOT guests looking for a different way to wrap up their evening at Walt Disney World now have a new option to consider. Reservations have officially opened for the Shiki-Sai Fireworks Dining Package, which pairs dinner inside the Japan Pavilion with EPCOT's nighttime spectacular, Luminous: The Symphony of Us.
What Is the Shiki-Sai Fireworks Dining Package?
Disney World already offers several ways to combine dining with nighttime entertainment, and Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya is now joining that lineup. Located inside EPCOT's Japan Pavilion, the restaurant will begin offering this new fireworks dining package starting October 2, 2026 — great news for guests planning fall trips to the park.
Guests who book the package will be seated at 8 p.m., positioning dinner perfectly around the park's nighttime spectacular later in the evening. The experience centers on Japanese cuisine while giving guests a dedicated spot to enjoy Luminous: The Symphony of Us over World Showcase Lagoon.
For visitors who were already planning to dine at Shiki-Sai, the package offers a way to combine two parts of their evening rather than treating dinner and fireworks viewing as two separate plans. That's especially handy at EPCOT, where popular viewing locations around World Showcase Lagoon can fill up well before the show begins — sometimes prompting guests to claim a spot instead of continuing to explore the pavilions.
What's Included in the Package?
Guests aren't simply reserving a table with a view. The meal includes:
- An appetizer
- Traditional sashimi
- An extensive selection of sushi
- An exclusive dessert available only through this package
- Beverages exclusive to the package
That makes the experience particularly well-suited for guests who already enjoy the type of food served at Shiki-Sai. Someone who isn't drawn to sushi or sashimi may find it harder to justify the price for the fireworks component alone. On the other hand, guests who were already eyeing Shiki-Sai for dinner may find real appeal in bundling the restaurant with Luminous.
The exclusive dessert and beverages also give the package something beyond a 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 — and this offering follows that same approach.
How Much Does It Cost?
The convenience does come with a premium price. Here's the breakdown:
- Adults: $120 before tax and gratuity — approximately $149.50 after both are included
- Children: $60 before tax and gratuity — approximately $74.70 after both are included
For a couple, that works out to roughly $299 after tax and gratuity. A family of two adults and two children would be looking at approximately $448.40 total. That's a significant amount to dedicate to one portion of a Walt Disney World day, and it's worth factoring in carefully when planning your budget.
Whether the price makes sense will depend on how much value each family places on the food, the fireworks component, and having those two experiences bundled together. Guests can still watch Luminous without purchasing a dining package — the Shiki-Sai offering simply creates another premium option for visitors who want a more structured evening.
The 8 p.m. Seating Makes Planning Easier
One of the package's practical benefits is the fixed 8 p.m. seating time. With that anchor on the schedule, guests can work backward when deciding when to ride attractions, explore World Showcase, shop, or visit festival booths throughout the day.
EPCOT days can involve a lot of walking — especially for guests moving between World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature, and the various World Showcase pavilions. By evening, sitting down for a full meal can already sound very appealing. Pairing that meal with Luminous gives guests another reason to slow down toward the end of their visit rather than scrambling to find a viewing spot before the show begins.
The package essentially removes one decision from the evening: instead of figuring out where to stand, when to claim a location, and how to get there after dinner, guests simply arrive for their 8 p.m. reservation, enjoy dinner, and make Luminous part of the experience.
Reservations and Important Details
Anyone hoping to try the package shouldn't count on walking up and finding availability on the day of their visit. Advance reservations are highly recommended. Limited same-day reservations may become available, but those bookings will depend entirely on availability.
One important note: Disney Dining Plans are not accepted for the Shiki-Sai Fireworks Dining Package. Even if most of your meals are covered through a dining plan, this experience would need to be paid for separately. Guests interested in the package may want to make that decision before their trip rather than waiting until they're already inside EPCOT.
Is It Worth It?
At nearly $150 per adult after tax and gratuity, the Shiki-Sai Fireworks Dining Package won't be the right fit for every EPCOT visitor. Families trying to keep their 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.
But for guests who already wanted to dine at Shiki-Sai and would rather have their evening entertainment built into the experience, the new package offers a different — and more organized — way to finish the night at EPCOT.
With bookings now open, guests planning EPCOT visits for October and beyond can officially start making those reservations. Ultimately, the biggest decision may come down to convenience versus cost — and only you can decide which side of that equation wins for your family.
