DD and I are having dinner at the Beach Club on Saturday night (her choice... she loves steamers and the oreo desserts!)

My photography question is... can you view Illuminations from the Beach area? I'm trying to get my orientation and I'm guess they would be to the left if you were facing the Boardwalk?

Our ADRs are for 8:30, so it's probably going to be a none issue unless I can move it up a bit, or we get seated early, but just in case I want to be prepared with that TRIPOD that I am finally going to buy!
 
Martha:

You can see the high ones from the beach area. You're correct, they'll be off to your left as you face the BWV.

If you time it just right, you can see Illuminations, Wishes (face BCV and you'll see them over the top of the building), AND Fantasmic (unless that's still on hiatus?) from that area. It might not be Wishes, but I know I got to see 3 shows in one night - two from the boardwalk area, one from my room balcony.

Enjoy dinner with your daughter!
 
...is on the bridge on the way to the Board Walk.

When you come out of the BC, hang a left toward Epcot. At the top of the slope, you'll see the bridge on the right, heading toward the BW area.

It's a very quick walk from the BC -- two or three minutes -- and there are usually a handful of people there, pausing to gawk. :sunny:
 
Thanks - I'm familiar with the area in the daytime - so I know the bridge. Just never had the opportunity to try and check out the fireworks. We stayed there in Feb, but DD was too tired from swimming in SAB to head to EPCOT that evening!

I guess I could take a long ladies room break and head to the bridge! (Just kidding!)
