How the fireworks view from Coke Corner?

I was hoping for Plaza Inn to eat and watch Fireworks. But DH wants a chilidog. How is the view from one of the tables?

I thought it was good you dont get the full effect of everything but it was still great and you saw most of the fire works. There wasnt a ton of people in that area when we watched them . I hope that helps

Too many trees block your your view. Because the fireworks are shot so low to the ground many of the trees in the hub block many potential good views.

Eat at either, and step on to Main St. near Coke Corner for a fine view of the FW. That's where we always watch them.

You mean Believe in Holiday Magic? They are the holiday fireworks. I would say it doesn't make a difference and the view will be best if you are actually on Main St. so the trees aren't obstructing your view.

Wishes is at WDW, not Disneyland. Do you mean "Remember, Dreams Come True" or the holiday fireworks, as DangerMouse suggested?

Sorry, I was about to go to sleep when I wrote this!! We will be ther at the start of the holiday season but I think when we were there same time last year, we saw RDCT and not the Holiday version. I have read several threads that state the current fireworks are not as fabulous. I just want to find the best place to see them as in all of our trips we've only seen them once due to the Santa Ana winds
