We were at MK for Spectromagic and FITS this past Oct for the same night you want to go. We chose the wooden platform in front of the shooting arcade in Frontierland. Good seat, can stand if someone is in front of you, lights behind you, not in your eyes. We had no problem with crowds although we did sit for the 1/2 hour before the parade. The park was not maxed as far as I know but around the castle and on Main St it was packed to uncomfortable! It is not a good spot for FITS if you want to see Tinkerbell and the fireworks unobstructed. We moved (quickly) from Frontierland to Fantasyland and the area right in front of Ariel's Grotto. Can't see Tinkerbell but the fireworks were incredible and the soundtrack was not as loud because it is aimed down Main Street not into Fantasyland. The lights were dimmed, the crowd was sparse and the show was great. We've seen both many times so we try to catch it from several places. If you want to see Tinkerbell, stand on the bridge between Castle Forecourt and Tomorrowland, fireworks will be slightly obstructed by trees.

We love going to WDW in October. THere are still crowds (not like summer) but not horrible, you can still do what you want with minimal waits of 10-20 minutes. Many things are walk on and the weather is lovely. Have a great time!
