What Is The Best Position to Watch The Magic Kingdom Firework Show?

By Billy MacKenzie


In the following paragraphs I'm going to give my thoughts and views on the unique areas to see Wishes at the Magic Kingdom park, combined with the opinions of other individuals.

The best spot mostly depends on what the person/ family is hoping to do once the show has ended. It is quite silly for anyone who wants to exit from the park, to view the show from Fantasyland. Then again, viewing the show from a place next to the park exit and then hoping to stay in the park for a number of hours after is also a silly idea. Therefore before making the decision, decide where you are heading off after the fireworks have finished.

If You Wish to Be Closer to the Fireworks.

So I can understand that some of my readers may completely forget how unsafe fireworks can be and get so excited while visiting The Disney World Resort that they actually want to be in the show! (This is a joke. You are definitely safe at all the Disney World parks). However if you would like to get a real up close view, then the Hub is the area 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 reason why I don't like being in the front area, 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 fireworks that are behind the castle. One time I had just finished eating dinner at Cinerella's Royal Table, and my family found ourselves extremely close to the castle to watch the show. It wasn't pleasant in the slightest, and I had a terrible crick in my neck from having to look directly above me during the show. I undoubtedly did not have a great time!

The Best Place to Watch The Fireworks.

All that being said, so long as you stay towards the back of the Hub you will enjoy the greatest experience possible. Although I do suggest that you stay towards the right of the Castle to get a far better view when a certain fairy flies through the sky.

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.
