Epcot Fireworks-But from a Distance??

[bdklein]

Where can we watch the Epcot fireworks (inside or outside Epcot), but not have it be too loud for young kids? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Unlike with Wishes at MK...
this is not really possible with IllumiNations.

MOST of effects of IllumiNations take place ON (or just a few feet above) the surface of the water of the WS lagoon.
Except for the very first "Comet" firework effect, and several other major "sky-blasts" (some quite LOUD), IllumiNations can't really be enjoyed from outside Epcot's World Showcase.
One favorite outside spot to view the few "sky-blasts" is on the bridge coming toward Epcot's International Gateway from the Boardwalk Resort. You can't hear any of the music track, which is a very important part of the show.
You can't see very much either, and there will be very long periods of time where you see nothing at all.
If you're close enough to see much of the show, a few of the effects will be quite loud.

Agree with the previous poster. There really is not a good place like what you are probably wanting.
You may want to try standing back next to the Odyssey building by the restrooms. It would be a decent view, but away from most of the crowd and not directly in front of the fireworks. But it sill may be too close for you.

Some folks suggest using (safe-for-children) ear plugs for youngsters concerned about the loudness of various attractions, not just the fireworks shows.
