Best viewing area for fireworks at MK?

[The Rolands]

Hello everyone! I was hoping to get some opinions as to where everyone thought the best place was to view fireworks at MK. And how early does one have to arrive at the 'best place'? Thanks!

The southern half of the Hub is ideal, and a decent spot should be available no more than 15-20 minutes before.

Good spot!

You want to be able to see the new "show" that is actually projected on the front of the Castle,
"Celebrate the Magic," which begins about 15 minutes before the fireworks.

Below is a rough estimate of the Fireworks viewing spots
based on other posters' info on the boards and personal experience.

In the Rose Garden.

In the Rose Garden.

Which is between the bridge to Fantasyland and the bridge to Tomorrowland in Robo's map.

We almost always end up on the little walkway(in purple on map) from Main Street to Tomorrowland and it is rarely crowded and offers a decent view of the Castle projection Show and the Fireworks. Sure there are better spots around the hub, but we have found that we usually can get there no later than 5 minutes before the show and still get a nice spot with an unobstructed view.

Rose Garden special section is less crowded than the hub and street, but you don't see the fireworks straight-on framed by the castle from the garden.

So can you no longer watch the fireworks from the rose garden without a fp+ ?

In the grassy area shaded in purple shown below, on nights that offer FP+, that's correct.
