Viewing wishes on the "hub?" - The DIS Discussion Forums

My2QTs · 11-25-2009, 10:14 AM

I assume the hub means the circle that goes around in front of the forecourt? If this is correct, is there a better spot on the "hub" to occupy for the best viewing of Wishes?

You should probably stand in the middle of the hub or back towards Main Street.

We made the mistake of standing in front of the castle and missed a lot of the fireworks because they were blocked by the castle. We weren't directly in front of the castle either, I was standing on the inner part of the hub, just off the "street", and couldn't see most of the large fireworks that are shot off from behind Fantasyland.

I agree with further back on Main Street - the hub is too crowded and too close to get the full effects of the fireworks

Agreed, it's easy to get too close to the castle. The fireworks are fired from an area behind Fantasyland and if you're much closer than the "Partners" statue, you'll have some blockage.

Below is a rough estimate of the Fireworks viewing spots

I like this spot: as you're walking from Main street toward the castle, just after the bridge & before the hub, on the right is a walkway toward Tomorrowland. You can stand up against the railing & get a good view of Wishes.

I don't know if this link will work for you, but give it a try:
