Fireworks and Projection viewing

[Jennifer Striblin]

I know this has been asked a million times but ... I need a good place to view fireworks and projections at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. I can sit on the ground or curb til showtime but have trouble standing for long periods. I can stand during the shows with no problem. I have in mind the Japanese Pavilion, or the steps in front of the Norway Church. Also what do yall think about the Plaza Ice Cream shop tables if they are still outside? Any advise for this 50ish old lady with bad feet and knees? Thanks so much.

I’m in my 50’s. I have more trouble getting up from sitting on the ground than standing and waiting.

I watched Harmonious near the baby care center. There’s a bench just outside to sit and wait. Then walked towards the Odyssey right before it started. You have some food stands in the way, but the view was decent!

I watched Enchanted from Main Street standing in the street dead center between Casey’s and the ice cream parlor, first row, right be walk way. So throughout the entire show people were crossing in front of me.

Next time I’ll watch from New Fantasyland and foregoing the projections.

For DHS, we exited MMRR right before the projection show. We found a spot right in front of the Chinese Theatre at the fence where the huge Mickey hat was years ago. Perfect view, had to look straight up because we were so close.

For the projections on ToT, almost anywhere near it is good. Across from BatB is good. And there are lots of benches lining that street.

I used to LOVE standing in Norway for Illuminations, but 2 weeks ago, I found the trees to block some of the Harmonius show. Norway, closer to Mexico, might be much better. We also viewed from Morocco, which was good. Everyone says to stand at the Bridge entering World Showcase, but that gets full and then I can't see (vertically challenged!). Again, due to only being 4'11", I need to stand closer to the castle for Enchantment. I tried further back on Main St to take in the projections on the buildings, but then that was all I saw. 'Couldn't see the castle projections at all. Of course the fireworks were great.

If you want to see Harmonious, you need to be close to 90 degrees to the Stargate. Beyond about 45 degrees, you will see the water, but miss the projections. We were near the entrance to Canada from the 2 stores and couldn't see any projections in the Stargate. we could see everything else very well.
