Dinner at Narcoossees or Ca. Grill to catch WISH firework

[hooch11bear]

We have never had any issues at CG. It is our favorite restaurant. I like the view better from CG than Narcoossee's.

Maybe we'll stick with Citricos then. Since it's up higher. It is on the list as one of our favorite meals in all our trips.

Citricos doesn't have any view of the fireworks to speak of (you might see one or two bursts from between buildings) and no alternative viewing location.

In terms of Narcoossee's, as mentioned, the tables are on the same level as the veranda/deck, so your view can (and probably will) be blocked by guests out there. This photo gives you an idea of what might happen. If the child on the right had been standing up straight, he would have blocked the view entirely. In general, I think most folks that want to watch fireworks go outside. I generally find that the view is better outside on the veranda anyway (no glass to get in the way). They pipe in the music to both the veranda and the restaurant.

While not mentioned, the veranda also offers a pretty good view of the Electric Water Pageant parade. It has a stop right outside.

No, that is incorrect. We saw the entire show from our seat at Citricos, we saw the castle from our seat so it was clear what I was watching. It was not just one or two bursts. I promise. I know what Wishes looks like and I know what we saw. Maybe you can't from many seats but we sure could from our seat.

That's good to know. From the places I looked, I only saw a few bursts between buildings. Where were you seated? Did they dim the lights and pipe in the music? They didn't do that when I was there, but maybe it's changed.

I swear we have the CG curse! Three tries and three misses for fireworks viewing over the years. Once we had the dreaded back room, once the fireworks were cancelled due to major T-storms and our last try the fog rolled in. It was a little bizarre being able to hear the booms of the fireworks but not being able to see a darn thing out the window! I love watching them from Narcoossee's though.

No, no music. Best I can describe is we were seated more or less straight back from the entrance. At the windows.

A bare handfull of seats at Citricos have any view of the fireworks---

I had feeling it was only a few seats but the seats that can see it see it well.
