Favorite spot to view Fantasy in the Sky

dab · 01-24-2003

What's your favorite spot to view Fantasy In The Sky (fireworks) at the Magic Kingdom? Trishb and I are going to meet next week and she left it up to me to pick the spot. So, I thougt I'd get some help from our DC pals. I don't think I've ever been in the same place twice for viewing and I would like to be able to see Tinkerbell as I've only seen that once.

Thanks, dab! I can't wait!

My personal favorite spot is the bridge off the Hub that goes to Tomorrowland, closest to the Castle. When Tink flys from the Castle she lands on top of the Plaza Pavilion restaurant, so if you stand on this bridge she flys right over you.

Yep! That's my favorite spot too.:)

PhantomBantam · 01-24-2003

Bingo!

teresadisney · 01-24-2003

Me too:D
Or at christmas, rudolph flies over at mcmvp!

The bridge by the teacups is just as good, and sometimes less crowded. But at this time of year, you should be fine.

Wish I could be there.

dreaming of disney:cry: :)

What do you think, dab? It sounds unanimous (?) to me!

The bridges to tomorrowland are great to watch the fireworks. And they are not crowded at all, and I love seeing tinkerbell fly over me! But my all time favorite place to watch the fireworks has to be smack dab in the middle of main street with a perfect view of the castle and the fireworks exploding behind it. It can get really crowded though and not the best place to meet someone, lol. Have fun dab and Trishb!

Since the bridge to Tomorrowland seems to everyones favorite how come last time we were there it was so uncrowded as to allow a baby and mommy bunny rabbit come right up to us. My then 8 year old almost pet him. We missed most of the fireworks playing with them until they hopped back to some bushes almost at the seats near the water down below.

Have you considered renting a boat at the Wilderness Lodge and viewing the fireworks from the Seven Seas Lagoon? The last time I watched the fireworks,that's what friends of mine and I from another Disney website did,and the view was one of the best I had ever seen.

**BDavis932** · 01-25-2003

I just had a thought....

I understand you can see the fireworks from the California Grill, but can you see the fireworks from anywhere else in the Contemporary?? Maybe a hallway or lounge?? We would like to see the fireworks on our arrival night (no park tickets) but don't really want to rent a boat.

If we planned it just right, could we see the fireworks on a disney shuttle boat from the Wilderness Lodge to the Contemporary??

WDWIG.com has a link about fireworks viewing. Lots of reader comments.
Check it out!

The bridge to Tomorrowland sounds like the perfect spot. Trish, I'll send you a PM with the details.

Last couple visits we've watched from Polynesian beach.
My kids built sandcastles while we waited. I have great pictures of them building castle with Cindy's castle in the background. Each picture the castle is a different color.
We are staying at Wildernes Lodge this summer. I requested a room with a view of MK. Does anyone know if fireworks can be seen from balcony?. I have heard yes and no.

My husband is bound and determined to watch FitS from the railroad bridge at the Main Street entrance this time.
