Fireworks Viewing from BLT bridge

[jenhelgren]

Can the MK fireworks still be viewed from the bridge that connects the Contemporary to BLT? We are DVC but as far as I know, Top of the World lounge is still closed so we are looking for options for tonight.

You used to be able to! Last time I did this was pre-Covid but they played the music over the speakers so that you could hear what was being played in the park. Not sure if it has changed since this was several years ago

Yes. But it gets crowded -- at least it did last month when we were there.

How early would you suggest getting there? I was worried about crowds being Saturday night of Easter weekend. Our other choice was the water taxi dock at GF but that is even smaller so I figured the bridge would be best!

The BLT bridge has the benefit of being steps away from other areas you can watch fireworks that have reasonably good audio - such as the CR 4th floor observation deck and (my recommendation) head up a flight or two on the exterior stairwells of the CR building and watch from there. I like that this area provides options to move around/position yourself based on what you encounter in terms of crowds on any given evening.

Not sure what the latest is with GF boat dock show audio - hopefully someone can confirm.

Thank you for the great advice! I'm not used to last minute Disney planning and trying to throw together a fun evening while still en route to Florida

It wasn't super early as I recall and it was Spring Break week. We were just walking past, not actually waiting ourselves. It was still pretty laid back, just busy.
