Best spot to watch Happily Ever After besides in front of the castle and why?

[jenhelgren]

I need some opinions on where the best spot to watch Happily Ever After is besides the hub in front of the castle. Can the projections be seen from anywhere outside the hub? Are there any spots behind the castle where you are not constantly turning in circles to take it all in? We have two MK nights planned and want to get as good a spot as possible for one of them and find somewhere not as crowded or time consuming for the second night which will be EMH so we can hit a few rides right after the show! Thanks for any advice we haven't been to the parks for a few years and I am having a hard time picturing the views!!

I love the fenced in grassy area in front of Casey’s. It’s always relatively easy to find a spot and sitting down before the show starts is awesome.

The only place to see the projections will be in front of the castle, either in the hub area, or a bit farther back on Main Street. I agree with @Minniemoo15 about the grassy area in front of Casey's, and it is our go to spot for watching Happily Ever After.

I've never viewed Happily Ever After from any where else, but I did watch Wishes several times from Frontierland just at the edge of Liberty Square, and thought that offered a pretty good view of the fireworks without having to twist your head around so much to see. From Fantasyland, there will be stuff both in front of you, and behind you, so If you are set on viewing from somewhere other than the hub area one night, I would stay off to the side of the park, either toward Frontierland / Liberty Square, or towards where Tomorroland and Fantasyland meet.

Anywhere that you can see the castle clearly. The fireworks can be seen anywhere, but the projections really can only be seen by being in front of the castle.
We like the grassy area in teh hub, but it can be very crowded. Back on Mainstreet just behind the tape works well as nobody should be in front of you, but Mainstreet also is very crowded.
