Favorite Fireworks Spots at Walt Disney World

For many people the fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom is the perfect way to end a day at the Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom. Watching the fireworks explode high above Cinderella Castle is truly a site to behold. The fireworks, music, and environment come together in a special and magical way that only Disney can create.

Watch Tinkerbell fly through the sky from Cinderella's Castle and the magic of Wishes begins. Jiminy Cricket hosts this stunningly spectacular event, accompanied by several favorite characters. Ask anyone who has visited the Magic Kingdom and they will not be shy about telling you their favorite place to watch all of the action take place.

But with this experience you have a critical question to answer: From what location do you want to watch the show? There are many choices and each has advantages and disadvantages. Let's look at some of the options.

The Usual Suspects
Main Street, U.S.A. is a great place to watch the fireworks, but is often crowded and it is difficult for children to see without the aid of an adult's shoulders. Directly in front of Cinderella's Castle is another great location, but can also be quite crowded. If you get claustrophobic at all, don't choose this spot.

Ride and Watch
Some guests take their thrill seeking up a notch and add riding an attraction to their viewing. Popular choices for this are Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain Railroad. You won't see the whole show from either ride, but half the fun is doing two things at once!

Restaurants
Disney World
California Grill at the Contemporary Resort and Ohana at the Polynesian are both crowd favorites and they each have tables near the windows, allowing for especially great views. The Contemporary even has an outdoor viewing deck, which can be used by guests with reservations any time that same evening.

The Road Less Traveled
Maybe you want to find a spot that's a little less crowded and maybe near some food, but you don't want to have to have a sit down dinner to do it. There are options for that as well. Main Street near the ice cream parlor is a favorite, as is the patio at Starlight Ray's Caf. Outside Storybook Treats is another great spot to relax with a snack and watch the show.

Each Spot Is Special

No matter what spot you select, you are sure to enjoy this nighttime spectacular - it's the perfect way to end your day at the Magic Kingdom.
