Best resort viewing for illuminations

[lsjones]

Does anyone know where the illuminations fireworks are able to be seen from outside the park? I was interested to know if it can be viewed from various hotels around the world. Any help would be appreciated.

You can enjoy it from a beach at CBR

Except for the fact that you CAN'T really enjoy the show called "IllumiNations" from a beach at the CBR, that's good advice.

While "Wishes" CAN be seen and enjoyed (for the most part) from many places outside MK, IllumiNations is a different story altogether.

MOST of effects of IllumiNations take place ON (or just a few feet above) the surface of the water of the WS lagoon.
Except for the very first "Comet" firework effect, and several other major "sky-blasts", IllumiNations can't really be enjoyed from outside Epcot's World Showcase. A good 1/3rd of the show does not involve fireworks but a large "video-globe" towed across the water and tiny lights imbedded into the buildings of WS.
One favorite outside spot to view the few "sky-blasts" is on the bridge coming toward Epcot's International Gateway from the Boardwalk Resort. You can't hear any of the music track, which is a very important part of the show.
You can't see very much either, and there will be very long periods of time where you see nothing at all.
There are a few villas at the Boardwalk that have (obstructed) views, and the aforementioned CBR, but as stated above... you will not see very much, and what you DO see can't legitimately be called "IllumiNations."

We often view them from the bridge connecting Boardwalk and the BC. Like the above poster mentioned, you won't catch the special laser effects or anything-just the fireworks portion.
