Fireworks from PPH

[nhanifan]

OK many of you have said that you can watch the Fireworks from the pool area from PPH. How well can you see the Fireworks from there? I know you will not be able to see the low ones. What are your opinions on this.

Hi nhanifan,
Here are some pics I took last July from the PPH pool deck. The view itself is good, with the added plus of having the soundtrack played through the speakers.

Since you asked specifically, here are some examples with some of the lower-level effect--towards the right side of the photos.

You definitely miss out on some of what makes RDCT one of the best DL fireworks show, but there are some plusses too.

PROS
Not having to deal with crowds
Admission to PPH is "free" (parking excluded, you can park at DTD for 3 hrs free)
Soundtrack is played--IMHO making this the best outside-the-park location to view the RDCT fireworks. If this show didn't have such a compelling soundtrack, it might not be as big of a PRO as it is now.

CONS
Can't view some of the low-level effects, especially around the Castle
Can't view the projections on the Castle, Matterhorn, or IASW
For that matter, you can't see the Castle at all.
Lack of a foreground object when taking photos--the treeline around DTD just doesn't compare to the Castle or the Matterhorn, LOL!
