CRT Dinner Question....

[daisy_77]

Hi, everyone! My DH and I have ADR's at CRT for 8:15pm. Wishes is at 8:00pm that night. Does anyone have advice on where to watch Wishes, but still be near the castle for our ressie? We are going to arrive early to let them know that we will be outside watching the fireworks (the CM on the dining line suggested that we do that).

Sorry if this does not make any sense! Thanks to anyone who can answer this.

Right in front of the Castle is the best view and pretty close to the restaurant.

Have fun!

It's usually pretty crowded in front of the castle. Sometimes even a mob scene. I would recommend standing in front of the Crystal Palace up against the rail where people park their strollers. (Just move the strollers slightly and you can get right up against the rail.)

It will be a little challenge to get to CRT after Wishes, but it won't be nearly as crowded to watch Wishes from there compared to Main Street. Keep in mind that you will be 'offset' from the normal castle view meaning that many of the fireworks (shot from behind the castle) will appear to the left of the castle when you are standing by the Crystal Palace.

It's not a bad view at all though!

Hope this helps!

We watched Wishes from Cassie's, the Noodle Factory restraurant terrance and right by the Mickey and Walt statue. All were a great view but my favorite was at the NF restuarant - we had a clear view and seats! With our reservations they told us to be there 15 minutes early - is your reservation at 8:15 or are you alloting 15 minutes before? It might not matter - sometimes we were there super early and that wasn't a big deal either.

Thanks everyone for your advice! Our ressies are at 8:15pm. The park closes at 8:00pm that night. So, maybe it won't be hard to get to the castle if everyone is heading the opposite direction....
