I know-asked a million times, but threads are buried...Help!

On our last trip we saw Illuminations from a boat-booked with other "Dis-ers" but didn't want to do that this time. We also did not see either of the evening shows at MK-but really wanted to see them this time. So our question is where are your best locations for viewing Illuninations, Wishes, and Spectromagic? Also, we have Ressies for Le Cellier the evening that we plan to watch Illuminations-ressies at 6:30, Illumninations at 9:00.

Booked Fantasmic pkg-so that takes care of that "issue".

Thanks for your help!

We saw Illuminations right near Le Cellier in October. We were able to get a bench right on the water and had a great view. There were some trees to the left of us but they didn't block our view. Other people walked up right to where we were sitting just minutes from the show and had the same great view without the bench. We have also seen it from the outside eating area in the UK near the fish and chips stand.

A great spot to see Spectro and Wishes is on Main Street near the castle hub. But you will need to score a spot pretty early and will likely have to sit on the curb for awhile. My family enjoyed Spectro in Liberty Square, right across from the Liberty Tree Tavern. We were able to get a nice bench which was perfect as my eldely parents were with us and no way could they sit on the ground. This is also a good spot for Wishes. You don't see the front of the castle so you miss some of the effects and Tink flying but it is so nice to just stay in one spot for Spectro and Wishes with much less crowds than on Main Street or the castle hub. A great spot to see Wishes with a great view of the castle is at Casey's Corner. We get table, have a hot dog and enjoy a great show. You cannot see Spectro from this location however.

We watched Wishes from 2 spots. The first was on the bridge to Tomorrowland - the bridge that leads to Buzz. We were right under Tinkerbell. Which my kids thought was too cool because she waved at us! The second time we watched in front of Small World. That was cool too because the fireworks surrounded us. We watched Spectro in Liberty Square. Right across from the Liberty Bell. There is a planter there that makes a nice seat.
We saw Illuminations along the lagoon near the America pavillion. We had a great view of everything.
Have Fun!!
