If you don't need the 'There' experience, leave 45 minute early... Get to the transportation center and go to the ferry dock. Find the castle and wait. Just below the handrail (below the ramp) to the corner is the best. They pipe over the music and voices, and it is the BEST place to watch. You will be first to... More

We've pasted up chances to view the Wishes Fireworks show in previous visits to Disney World for various reasons... I made sure that we did so on this last visit. It was just as wonderful as I had been told it would be. Magical is a perfect description and it is so worth staying up a bit later than we... More

I suppose as they do it every night it is not so bad but a bit of a come down from the spectacular parade. Also difficult to find a spot to view and then of course the fight to exit!

The title says it all. The fireworks display is wonderful, its is accompanied to music and makes you feel like a kid again. If you visit disney, you have to stick around to see this Fireworks display. It takes place around 9pm, rain or shine.

This is by far one of my favorites things at Walt Disney World. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it, and moves me to tears each time I see it! Look forward to it every trip!

Still the best fireworks show on and off Disney property. I have also seen Knoxville's Boomfest as a comparison. Keep the kiddies up late for this and do room service so they can sleep in the next morning. You will not regret it in the least. Also, watching the fireworks from the front of the castle vs the back of... More
