Chef Mickey's on July 4th

[Ruthie5671]

Last night I snagged a reservation at Chef Mickey's on July 4th at 9:20 PM. I know the Magic Kingdom fireworks start at around 9:00. Any ideas on how to watch the fireworks before we check in for dinner? Or should we check in early and see if there is a chance to view the fireworks from a window seat? I've never eaten there, so I'm unsure of the set up!

Chef Mickeys is on the wrong side of the Contemporary for looking towards MK or Seven Seas.
There is a 4th floor viewing platform, but it will likely be a bunch of people there.

From @Robo ’s awesome map sticky:

At the Contemporary, there is viewing on an outdoor
observation area on the 4th floor.
The California Grill observation areas are reserved for patrons that day of the Grill or Bar.
(The audio of the fireworks show is also piped in to these locations.)

I think the 4th July fireworks are 9:15pm this year.
