Epcot fireworks from DVC villa?

[AC168]

Is there a place to watch Epcot fireworks from a DVC room or balcony? Seems like consensus is that Epcot fireworks are better than MK. Thanks!

You can see the high level fireworks from some of the standard view and BW view villas and at a distance from some of the RIV standard view villas on high floors. There isn’t any place outside of Epcot itself that allows a view of the lower level fireworks or the parts of the show that occur on the lagoon.

Thanks! Is it worth it to book a dinner and fireworks type package to have great seating?

It's not DVC but the best Epcot fireworks viewing from a resort is Swan Reserve 14th floor, Epcot view.

Clear view of Spaceship Earth and fireworks.

Good to know! Thank you!

We stayed in OKW 6214 in September and could see the Epcot fireworks from the room, but it's not a close view.

I stayed in a preferred view studio on the 9th floor of the Riviera and could see the Epcot fireworks clearly from my balcony.

Boardwalk view rooms at Boardwalk, especially higher floors and the ones down at the Swan/Dolphin end of the Boardwalk, have very nice views of most of the fireworks and some lasers - but you won't see the bay-based water and projections. You can also walk from any of the Epcot-resort-area resorts up to the International Gateway, and see much of the show right before the turnstyles without actually entering the park - if you don't have park tickets that day...if you do have park tickets, the International Gateway drops you right onto the World Showcase Lagoon to see the whole show and then exit quickly without dealing with the mass crowds headed to Epcot's main entrance.

I’ve enjoyed the Epcot fireworks from some of our BCV stays. They aren’t spectacular to be sure, but I’m still in heaven anytime we don’t feel like walking into the park the night before a runDisney half or full marathon.

Also, a tiny side note…the new Epcot show, Luminous, was a tad disappointing, and MK 100% is now my favorite at WDW. We really enjoyed watching it from our BLT theme park view. (I really actually miss Harmonious, barges and all. )

As far as I know, the only such packages for Epcot fireworks are inside Epcot, at the Rose & Crown https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/epcot/rose-and-crown-fireworks-dinner-package/ and at Spice Road Table https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/epcot/spice-road-table-fireworks-dinner-package/. California Grill in the Contemporary is the place to watch MK fireworks.

We have watched fireworks many times from our RIv SV rooms!!!

BCV, but partially blocked by trees. I would have not paid extra if an option. A fireworks cruise ($400) is a much better value than a room view IMHO.
