Wishes from the Comtemporary

[MmmSuite]

Hi!

I'm headed back for a quick trip to Disney on Jan 2nd(maybe)! I'm only in the park two days. I'm wondering where I could watch Wishes at the Contemporary if I had a late Chef Mickey's dinner? Dinner is at 7:55 and Wishes is at 10:00. I'm going go a little early and check in, so hopefully we finish around 9:30-9:45.

You can watch from the 4th floor observation deck.

I've watched Wishes from right outside BLT- not the best vantage point, but if you're quiet you can hear most of the music!

At the Contemporary, there is viewing on an outdoor
observation area on the 4th floor. Audio from the show is piped-in.

The California Grill observation areas are reserved for patrons that day of the Grill or Bar. Audio from the show is piped-in.

So anyone can use the observation deck, correct?

I echo the bridge between bay lake tower and the contemporary. Yes, anyone can go out on the bridge, you just can't go inside the bay lake tower without a room there (magic band entry). There is an observation deck there as well, but I find the bridge to be less crowded and has great viewing! Another option is the bar at the california grill. Go have a cocktail and get your little one a virgin and go outside and watch the fireworks from their deck!

So they let you go up to the bar with kids? I'm surprised. Have you done this?

I do not personally have children but I have seen children in the seated area for the bar (not AT the bar itself). The seats where the bar wait staff serve drinks.

Oh okay, I just wonder is these patrons are seated there because they are waiting to be seated for their ADR or finished with dinner and sticking around for Wishes. I can't imagine them letting a whole family with children up there just for the bar, maybe a single couple. But who knows it could all depend on the CM.
