Holiday Wishes from outside the park?

It looks like a lot of walking to get to the dock or Gasparilla grille from the GF. Where does the boat stop?

The shuttle boat from MK to GF and the Poly heads directly to the dock at GF after leaving MK.
The GF boat dock is right next to Narcoossee's. No walking.

After the fireworks, you can board another shuttle boat.
It will first stop at the Poly, then return to MK.


Shuttle Boat Route: MK>GF>Poly>MK>Repeat.

Omg, I'm in the exact same position as you, and was about to ask the same questions. My CRT is at 6.55 on 12/13 and would be leaving the park right after too, but wanted to def catch the Christmas wishes. It's gonna take a while to get out the park, as the Christmas parade is at 8.15pm but we will def be pooped after an entire day at the park.

I heard that the TTC would be the best option at that time, esp since we would be walking out.

I'm not sure what you mean by "walking out."
The TTC is a very fine location for viewing (and hearing) the MK fireworks shows.
But, I want to make sure that you understand that you must
take a ferry boat or monorail to get to the TTC (#3 on the top map below)
after you exit MK (#1 on the top map below.)

And, if you are taking a WDW bus to your resort, you'd need to go back
(ferry boat or monorail) to the MK gates area after the fireworks
in order to board any of those resort buses.

It shows on the Disney website that Holiday Wishes is at 9:30 on Party Nights, so I guess it will just depend on how tired my girls are if we can make it that long after dinner waiting. If we have our car, we will go to TTC to watch, if not, I am going to plan the boat to GF Dock/ Narcoossees deck option if they aren't too tired, then watch fireworks, take the boat back on hop on the bus back to the resort. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you OP & PPs for this amazing & highly informative thread!

Is the music for Wishes piped in on the ferry that goes to & from the TTC?
