One of my clients wanted to know if the FastPass+ Reserved Fireworks or Parade Viewings was worth the FP+? Has anyone used this? What did you think about it?

THANKS SO MUCH!

See the green link in my signature for my take on these and all FP+.
 
I have not used as of yet, but both have had favorable response here. Parade maybe a bit more than the fireworks.

We have used them for Illuminations and Wishes and we thought it was worth it to do it once. Others will disagree but then I don't like chocolate ice cream either.
 
I used a FP+ for wishes, I suggest it if it's a top 3 priority. There's 3 (I believe) different locations you can be placed with FP+ reservations it's selected at random for you. I was placed in the rose garden which was a pretty nice view. Hope this helped!
 
I personally don't think it's worth it for Wishes. I have heard of people being able to sit on the grass but the night I was there we were only allowed on the walkway, maybe because it was wet? Anyway it was a bit crowded and trees were in the way. I couldn't count how many people walked by talking about how it was not a good view.

I'm not sure I understand the bolded.

I've not heard about any locations other than the Rose Garden for Wishes FP+ viewing.
 
No experience with it yet, but we opted for FP+ for MSEP, one night of Illuminations, and then we are doing the Wishes Dessert party one night. I am hoping it works out. We leave tomorrow, so I will update about our experience somewhere if anyone is wondering.
 
If you reserve the FP+ for the parade, can you stay there for wishes? Seems like a good dpot to me, even if a bit close...

You can stay there, but they remove the barriers and it ceases to be a "reserved area" at the end of the parade.

So, you are at a disadvantage of both other guests crowding in and it being too close for optimal viewing.

If you choose FP+ for MSEP only, I've included red arrows to show where to MOVE
for viewing Wishes (and Celebrate the Magic) right after the parade passes the parade FP+ reserved area.
