Illuminations to Star Wars fireworks

[lugnut33]

is there any way to catch Illuminations at 9 and scramble to HS for Star Wars fireworks at 9:45?

Also, is the Star Wars music piped into the entrance area if we wanted to watch from outside the park?

You might find some good details here:

Someone in a third thread said that you cannot really hear the music outside the gates, sadly.

Yes, you could definitely make it, if you watch IllumiNations near the International Gateway then do a fast walk to DHS.

You cannot hear the music from outside the gates. Well, sometimes you can faintly hear it if the wind is blowing the right way, but generally not.

The best way would be to watch Illuminations from the bridge between England and France and immediately head to the boat dock at the IG. If you can't time the boat right, or if there is a long line, you can always walk it.

Imo it would be too much of a hassle to rush over. As long as you watched right near the international gateway and then power walked to HS, you could make it.

And no the music is not played outside the park

There is no way they would make it in time if they take the boat. Too many stops on the way to DHS. Walking -- speed walking, in fact -- is their only chance.

Thanks for the answers.

it is possible. Illuminations takes about 10 minutes, so that would give you about 30 minutes to make it. If you cut through the pool at the boardwalk, then that will save you some time. Just be mindful depending on when you go, the bridge may be getting the smoke from the fireworks.

Or you could just leisurely stroll over to Shipwreck Beach and watch Star Wars there.

No,it's not the same as seeing the whole show from inside DHS,but you won't be out of breath watching them!lol
