Does anyone have a photo of the Star Wars Fireworks from POP?

[geenerbell]

I read on another thread that you can view the Star Wars Fireworks from the bridge between POP and AoA. The music is also on at the bridge. Can anyone confirm this? Any photos?

You can view the fireworks from the bridge. I've watched the Star Wars and Frozen fireworks from HS several times. But unless something recently changed, there is no music piped in.

Is HS the name of the bridge between POP and AoA?

HS is for Hollywood studios. The name of the bridge is escaping me right now but someone will pop in with it!

I'm here now and watched the fireworks from the bridge twice this week, I think the best viewing is from the Pop side of the bridge just off to the right. Sorry to say there is no music although I do think sometimes I can barely hear the music coming from DHS. If I watch it again tonight I'll see if I can get a picture. I think the view is pretty good, it seems to be closer than watching the MK fireworks from the Poly.

For me it's a great way to still see fireworks when you've decided that you didn't want to stay late at the parks.

Thank you so much. We check in June 17 and would like to see them. If there's no music we may go over the DHS and watch from the entrance. Thanks again!

I think it's Generations Gap bridge. Just came to me...

You can also see any fireworks from DHS if you stand on some parts of the back of building #4 in the 60s on the 4th floor(facing the lake). You might have a view from building #3 in 50s, but I've not tried it. On our last trip, Aug 2014, we were able to take a few steps out our room and see the Frozen fireworks...caught us by surprise! There's no music, but it's still a nice view.

The reason people have been saying there's music on the bridge is because a previous poster a few weeks ago was talking about walking across the bridge and heard Star Wars music and thought it was cool. The person did not say however that it was during the fireworks and they were watching them. People read that and assumed the person was talking about the firework show. The way I read the post was that they were walking and thought it was cool Star Wars/Disney music was being played in general.

Other than that post and other than people referring to that post..the general consensus seems to be that no fireworks music is played outside the park

Sorry, not the best picture. Was just staying at AoA last week. Watched the fireworks from the pop side and also from ground level on parking lot side of AoA and got a pretty good view from both places. The music is not piped in, unfortunately.

We also went over and watched from outside the gates of HS and they did not pipe the music there either. Guessing only way to get full experience is to actually be in the park. But the fireworks in general are very impressive.

You can not hear any music from outside the park's main entrance. I went a couple weeks ago and stopped to watch them from outside the front gate. Nothing. I guess it's so people come in the park to watch.

At POP you can see fireworks but if you go up the stairwells by the lake of Building 3, 4 or 2 to get higher you'll have a better view. I've watched Illuminations, Studios fireworks and Wishes from there.

I enjoyed the fireworks from Hollywood Studios three times. Watched from Pop on the right side before crossing the bridge. They are behind the Lion King building. They were much better than the Illuminations fireworks you can see (also Magic Kingdom in the distance) from the top floor of buildings 3 & 4. Oddly, I could faintly hear Illuminations music, but not Star Wars. Maybe the direction of the wind?

I did make it to the bridge to see the fireworks tonight so I'll post another picture for you. It was really nice to watch Big Hero 6 at the 60s pool then take a small break to walk down to the bridge to see the fireworks.

Yep, building #3 also has a really good view. We were on the 4th floor last September, right on the corner, so exiting our door and walking just a few feet gave us a great view. Just another reason I love lake side rooms.

definitely there's nothing like watching from inside DHS but if you can't make it for whatever reason you could always pull up a youtube video of the fireworks and play it at exactly the time that they are set to go off, the music might not be 100% synched up but at least it's something

 

[BethR9]

Great info and pictures in this thread!

Thank you!!!

My parents just got back and watched them from the top of their 60s building like right outside their room basically, no music but still a great view. No music, but still cool for a rewatch or if you can't make it to see them inside Studios. I second pulling up a youtube video of it for music to play along.

Some say you can hear the music at the entrance to DHS, some say you can't. Any info. on being able to hear the music at the entrance?

It depends on which way the wind is blowing. We really couldn't hear very much of it and we've watched from just outside the gates a few times.
