We decided to eat one night at Trails End to check out the campground for some friends of ours. We were wondering if there was any way to see the MK fireworks after dinner from the campground? If not, any suggestions?
Thank you.
 
Yes! There's a very nice view from down at the marina/beach! :goodvibes
 
Didn't someone say the music was piped in behind the 300 loop near the beach for the wagon rides? :confused3 View + music:thumbsup2
 

Thank you so much. I can always rely on the wonderful people on the DIS to give me great info (and quickly)!!
Thanks.
 
Not an urban myth, its real, we didn't go over there, but could hear it from marina.

strange i was just there feb.............I walked all the way to the cabin/dike....not a speaker to be found.......urban myth I say....
 
Disney always does a great job of hiding their speakers. A CM told me once that the speakers that pipe in the music from MK are frequently broken. So, consider yourself lucky if you happen to be there on a night that they're working! :goodvibes

Go to site 328 & hang a right & follow the path to Bay Lake. It's about 1/4 mile walk. You cannot drive your golf cart back there - walk only. Take your lawn chairs, sit back, relax & enjoy.

urban myth.......

Nope - not an urban myth - we do it all the time whether we're actually camping or when we take our bicycles over for the day.

Now --- sometimes the sound system isn't working - but the view of the fireworks from behind the 300 loop are better than at the marina (imho).

The Hayride takes precedent over the people standing or sitting around, so be prepared to move out of their way.

use to be a couple years ago they had a truck come back thru the 300 loop to the beach at fireworks time with speakers and play the music. don't know if it is or was a seasonal thing or what, or if they still do it at all. anybody else happen to see this?

Thank you.

You will also be able to catch the nightly Electric Water Pagent on Bay Lake from the beach/marina area.;) I know we've gone to the 7:30 show of Hoop Dee Doo..and were able to see the Water Pagent it was shortly after the show ended and we just walked over to the beach...I'm thinking around 9:30 or so?

That wouldn't be very Disney-like. This has been a known fact for a while, quite a few people have talked about listening to the music behind the 300 loop, you should check it out next time you're at the Fort, it's a great experience :)

We always enjoy going down to the marina, grabbing one of the hammocks, and just relaxing and watching the fireworks. Especially good if you have a cold one from Crockett's nearby...heh
 
:lmao: ya gotta love the rumor mill.........

I stayed at the fort for 2 weeks in feb and never heard the wishes music once behind 300.....

how about the next time someone hears the piped in music behind 300 they can let us all know the exact location..........until then its just a rumor not a fort fact.....please.......lets not mis lead the OP......
 
I looked up scanner frequencies for WDW and found these frequencies pertaining to fireworks
461.700 STEP (S.T.E.P. FIREWORKS)
466.700 STEP (S.T.E.P. FIREWORKS)

I also found this on another list
464.200 STEP (Fireworks) – Paired with 466.700

I don’t know if this is what they transmit the audio on or if it’s control personnel, but it may be worth checking out. I'll give it a try with the handheld scanner next time I'm there, maby I can find how they transmit the audio and have my own personal sound system.

First off, des1954 just told you the EXACT location to go to hear the music...

Go to site 328 & hang a right & follow the path to Bay Lake. It's about 1/4 mile walk. You cannot drive your golf cart back there - walk only. Take your lawn chairs, sit back, relax & enjoy.


I think enough people have told you already in this thread that it's real, but just in case you didn't read their responses....

It is a Fort fact, I myself have been there and heard it, as have quite a few other people on this forum. Are you calling all of us liars, or that we were just hearing things? People have been talking about this for a couple years on this forum, you must have missed those conversations.

Probably the two weeks you were there it was broken (it breaks down a lot), but THERE IS music that is played behind the 300 loop, when it's working of course.

None of us are misleading anyone, you're just wrong on this one, don't worry, I'm not always right either ;)
 
Don't worry about misleading me. We've been to Disney enough times to know there are never guarantees. We appreciate any info and will not be disappointed if we hear no music. We will probably keep our ears open now though and I am sure to look on the map to see where loop 300 is......
thanks again!
 
This would be your best bet, if you can follow these directions, they will take you directly to where the music plays (also, the view here is a bit better than at the marina).

Go to site 328 & hang a right & follow the path to Bay Lake. It's about 1/4 mile walk. You cannot drive your golf cart back there - walk only. Take your lawn chairs, sit back, relax & enjoy.
 
You all have to stop telling people about that secret fireworks viewing spot. :tiptoe: :crowded:
 
Does anyone happen to have pictures from this spot??? Or from the marina, you know just to compare?
 
I have pictures from the spot, but Shannone might make a visit to my house if I post them...lol ;) In fact, I might even have video with audio playing the music from the MK that they pump through the stereos (now that I think about it), but I would have no idea where to look on my computer right now...heh.

It's pretty much the same view, but you can see a bit more because it's more "open" in your view towards the MK.
