In this post I'm going to give my thoughts and opinions on a few unique areas to watch Wishes at the Magic Kingdom, along with the views of a few others.
The ideal place mostly relies upon what the person/ group of people is wanting to do at the end of the show. As an example, it is no good for a person that wants to make a speedy exit from the park to see the display from Fantasyland, being required to fight through the crowds that are all attempting to do the same thing. But then again viewing the show from an area nearby the park exit and wanting to stay in the park after is a waste of a good chance to get closer to the castle. So before making the decision, determine where you are heading after the fireworks have finished.
To Be Closer to the Fireworks.
So I realize that some of my readers may totally forget how unsafe fireworks can be and get so excited by being at Walt Disney World that they actually want to be in the show! (Just a joke. You are always safe at all of the parks). But if you would like to get a real up close view, then the Magic Kingdom Hub is the location for you.
The Hub is the circular section located in front of Cinderella Castle that links all of the lands together. I've watched Wishes in every single place that you can imagine. Fantasyland, Frontierland, The Hub, Main Street, the bridge to Tomorrowland, the Polynesian Resort beach, the Grand Floridian, Bay Lake Tower, Fort Wilderness Campground beach, around the back of the park at Disney University, and in lots of hidden places that visitors don't normally get to see. Out of all these spots, the front area of the Hub is without a doubt the worst!
The main reason why I don't like being in the front spot, and by that I mean between Walt and Mickey's "Partners" statue and Cinderella Castle, is mainly because the castle will completely block the view of the main fireworks. One time I had just finished eating dinner at Cinerella's Royal Table (a restaurant inside the castle) and my group found ourselves extremely close to the castle to watch the show. Not only did I miss half the fireworks, but I had a tremendous crick in my neck from having to look directly above me. I certainly did not have a magical time!
The Best Location to View Wishes.
Provided that you stay toward the back of the Hub you are sure to get the greatest experience possible. Although I would recommend that you stay toward the right of the Castle to get the best view of a special element of the show.
In my opinion the greatest location to enjoy the Magic Kingdom fireworks is from the seating area just near the Ice Cream Parlor at the end of Main Street (it will be on a park map if you're unsure of the location). Providing that you can get seats there you should have a great view of all parts of the show. However, I do think this is a "get there a few hours before the show" deal.
