GF RPC- wishes view?

[justme0729]

I have seen that the RPC has a balcony attached to it that you can sit outside at. Does this balcony have a view of Wishes and have the music piped in?

Thanks!

I've used the balcony on 3rd floor but it faced Poly. I watched the Electric Water Parade from it. I don't know if there's a balcony facing MK. You may get more answers posting on the GF thread.

There is indeed a balcony on the third floor of the RPC where u can view Wishes.. close to where the concierge desks are located...it's spacious and has some benches...it's also a designated smoking area..though we have rarely seen anyone out there smoking...and while you can see the fireworks. ... particularly the higher displays ..they are kind of over to the side..a bit blocked by the building configuration...and there is no music to accompany it. .still lovely..and a nice more private viewing area...

Sue I think that the balcony that you are thinking of is located on the 2nd floor..which is the Commander Porter balcony..I'm guessing it got that name due to the men's shop by the same name being right next door...lol..This balcony too is a designated smoking area......

If you would like to see the fireworks right from the GF grounds and hear the music that accompanies it. ..I would suggest the dock area...but closer to Narcoosees. ..as the music is piped into their viewing deck (the deck is for restaurant guests only)....and there is also the marina area in front of Gaspys ...but the music being piped in there is spotty to the best of my knowledge. ...

Hth...

No, I was on balcony near concierge desk watching Water Parade, didn't realize Wishes was visible too . There was no one on balcony when we were there either! If I ever get to stay in RPC again I'll have to remember that. But with our Canadian $ low, not happening. Will just have to suck it up in a regular outer building this Aug. poor me lol.
For some reason I've never checked out that 2nd floor balcony, but after seeing pic posted by Trish I'll have to.

I didn't realize that you could watch the EWP from that balcony...so thanks for that info Sue......

Outer building at the GF will be simply grand!! Glad you are getting to make the trip ..maybe the Canadian $$ will improve some by then...

Btw..there is also another balcony not the 3rd floor. ..it's on the opposite end of the atrium...at overlooks the front of the resort...and u can watch the monorail whiz by....another nice GF niche...
