Thanks LKing. I just want to clarify which wall to stand against, is in the one along side Smugglers Ran, to the left if looking at the ride entrance or the wall directly opposite the falcon?
I'm not 100% sure you can stand up against the wall. They may use that for ECV or stroller parking. Ask a CM to confirm. Below are some pictures to better describe the area.
The teal area is the best viewing for both Shadows of Memory and fireworks. If you are in the area of the red X, SoM will be fine but Ogas might get in the way of some of your fireworks. Note, teal region is not exact - just make sure your view isn't obstructed by Ogas.
This is a picture facing the entrance of Smugglers Run. It was the first week so much more crowded than it will be now. The patio on the left is for dining packages. MF is to the right, with the spires behind it.
You don't want to be right next to MF or behind someone who is going to put their kid on their shoulders.
The projections are up above the MF so, as long as you have a view of the spires, you're good. The picture below will give some perspective. It shows how high the MF is above the tops of people's heads and how high the projections are above the MF.
This picture is facing the dining package patio and Docking Bay 7. Right next to Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities (the building on the left), you can see people sitting. There are some small cubes/benches in that area. They aren't the best for fireworks because Ogas gets in the way. That's why I put the red X in the photo above.
Note that the fireworks are to the right of the smaller spire so just make sure you have a clear view of that area. The following fireworks pictures were taken on a different night than the Shadows of Memory photos above. For the fireworks, I was sitting on one of the small cubes next to Den of Antiquities. You can see that some were blocked by the tree and Ogas. There was still plenty to see, but my view would have been better if I wasn't so far to the right.
How to get from SWGE to Main Street: If you take the red exit below, you'll want to turn around from your MF viewing area and walk up the steps towards Docking Bay 7, then turn left. If you take the teal path, after you go under the tunnel, either turn right and join with the red path or turn left, walk through Fantasyland and turn right at the Matterhorn to get to Main Street. Note that most of Fantasyland and the castle are closed for fireworks. By the time you make your way to Fantasyland, it might be open so you might be able to cut through the castle.
