Hoop De Doo questions

[Princess 'n LA]

1. Any chance we'd be able to view MK fireworks from the FW beach prior to the show? Does the show start at 8:30pm or is checkin at 8:30pm?
2. Transportation?? Take boat from MK, drive and park at FW then take internal bus, Minnie van, Lyft? We will be traveling from Coronado Springs. May try a park prior to dinner.
TIA

We splurged on a Minnie Van once for it because it was raining heavily. The driver took us very close to the Pioneer Hall which a Lyft vehicle cannot do. It was a fantastic option in bad weather. Otherwise we like to take the boat. We don’t have a car so we find one bus and then a second internal bus too time-consuming.

We find, the bus to MK and ferry to be the quickest. Disney suggests You allow 90 minutes for transportation to reservations.

You will want to get there early. You'll need to get a "ticket" with your table number on it. (Expect a line). Then you will wait in line and be seated at your assigned table. (Tables were assigned based on when you booked your reservations. The earlier you did, the better seat in the category you booked). There are no bad seats in the dining location.

It depends when they will start seating guests. We've been there and it was at 8 and we've been there when it was closer to 8:30. The dinner\show is two hours long. Well worth it.

Since it is the last show of the evening, depending on hours of the parks, there may be buses (short walking distance) to take you back to your resort or Magic King dom. There will be c as t members who will be directing guests, just ask for fastest way back to resort.

I also found the boat trip from Magic Kingdom to be the best transportation option to the HDDR. Yes, you need to allow a lot of time for the trip. Not sure about the fireworks viewing, since I went to an earlier show before dark.

830 is the start of show

We took the bus over from MK and actually allowed too much time--I don't know if it's that there's actually not much to do/look at right in that area or if it was just that we didn't know any better/were tired, but we ended up just sort of sitting around for a while waiting for them to open seating. The boat over was nice, though, and they did bus us back directly to our own resort afterward (it was the last show of the night).

What time is the fireworks? Unless for some reason they are starting Fireworks at like 7:30 I can't see you catching them.
