Best place to see Wishes

luvmy2prncss · 11-08-2004

Where is the best place to view Wishes?
Last year our view was obscured by trees. We tried to watch from Adventureland.

I still stick to my place... near the castle, right dead center of the park! Amazing.

**DisneyTeacher** · 11-08-2004

You will get a lot of different answers to this question. I happen to think any place on Main Street is the best place. I love being right in front of the castle, I feel like I get the full effect of the show. The truth is, any place is good as long as you can hear the music and see the fireworks, it's an awesome show.

Our most newly discovered best place is on the walkway to Tommrowland, directly under Tinkerbell's "flight path" if you get what I mean.

I use to love to watch the old Fantasy in the Sky fireworks from the train station at Main street. Is this a good location for Wishes too? I never thought about the Tomorrow land walkway...good idea.

I was on some sort of walkway for Wishes...I guess it must of been the Tomorrowland walkway...there was no one around, really. We had a somewhat of an obstructed view, though...but not obstructed enough to be a bad view...and we certainly missed the crowds!

I will have to try that one out. I am really looking forward to seeing it this trip...finally. We missed it last trip.

I agree....that is a great spot!! And another is (if you are lucky enough to get a seat) the Plaza Pavillion Counter Service Restaurant (sit right along the railing) you'll have a great view and tink will fly right over you there also!

We watched from right in front of the plaza restauraunt and had a fine view.

**MissDisney** · 11-09-2004

We always watch MK fireworks from the same place, which is really sentimental for us. Try this, and you will LOVE it! At the Main Street Train Station, you can almost always get a fine spot on the stairs or even along the railing even about 20 minutes before a parade or show. I am not sure why this excellent, elevated spot isn't filled to the brim an hour before, but it hasn't ever been packed until the last seconds. So you get prime viewing, and then an easy out at the end of the night. This is a GREAT place to see the parades, even the afternoon parades!

That is the exact spot that I use to watch Fantasy in the Sky from. I am so glad that it's still a prime location. That spot is great for viewing and excellent for escaping the parks before the herds..lol

Dana, MissDisney,

We used that spot last year for Wishes and the parades and it was awesome!

Ciao,
Alfredo

Best place is Main Street...right smack in the middle of the street.

chetnet · 11-09-2004

I'd have to say anywhere down Main Street would be the best, but it was wonderful being able to sit at a table at Casey's. Here's the view you will have>

The only problem I see with the train station, actually 2 problems, is you'd have to get there probably much earlier than most, plus the big flagpole is in your way.

Anyway, just be glad you are there !! Sure wish I was! ;o)

Last year - we watched it from the Plaza Pavillion which was awesome. We could sit eat, drink, and had a great view of tinker. I highly recommend this spot.
