Epcot Forever from Outside the Park

[Tass]

Has anyone watched Epcot Forever from outside the park? We aren't planning to go to Epcot during our next visit, but would like to see some of the higher fireworks. Any suggestions for a good place to do that? Thanks!

It will be really, really poor, but...
the bridge that's along the sidewalk that runs from Boardwalk to Epcot is the traditional
outside-the-park "viewing" location.

Robo should have a stickey for maps that includes viewing spots for EP illuminations - would be the same for Forever.

We left HS around 9pm the other night and accidentally had a great view of some of the higher fireworks from the Skyliner!

Unlike Illuminations, Epcot Forever has a ton of high fireworks, so seeing it from outside the park may not be so bad. We wished we were there for a day longer since it's debut was our last night there so we watched it from in the park, but we used to love watching the high fireworks from Illuminations from the pool at YC/BC, and we wished we had an extra night to check out the view from there for Epcot Forever since the fireworks were so much higher for this show!

As for places to watch, the bridge between Epcot and Boardwalk as mentioned before would be good, I would even recommend the beach in front of the BC. Really the show is mostly the high fireworks, the lower ones are just spinners by the water so it's not a big deal to miss those.

I forgot about the beach viewing - despite having done this before after eating at boardwalk.
