just saw Wishes...

[njitgrad]

...for the first time since 2011. It was hardly anything like I recall. We didn't have enough time to make it in front of the castle so we hung on the right side of the castle coming out of Tomorrowland and Fantasyland. We did get a good view of Tinkerbell sliding down the cable but that was about it. The view was awful so we moved around and realized the best spot for us was right smack between Mad Tea Party and 7DMT. The fireworks were pretty much directly over us. Any suggestions for tomorrow night?

Front of the castle or the little path to fantasyland by sleepy hollow to see the projection show Celebrate the Magic that precedes Wishes. (then moving to the back of the castle towards tomorrowland where you were before for fireworks)

The show was designed to have the castle at it's center. Anywhere along main street is best for that, but don't get too close to the castle. I like the area between Casey's and the Plaza restaurants seating areas. Further down main street toward the train station also works - especially if you want to make a quicker exit afterwards.

I'm right across the MS Bakery this evening its a good thing I'm 6'3". My kids not so lucky.

I prefer to just be at the train station for the quick exit after.

View from MS Bakery was very good except when obstructed by tall dads hoisting their kids on theirs shoulders.

Any chance getting FPs? I prefer either in front of castle or the ferry but hit and miss plus no music piped in but its an awesome view of castle and fireworks. I personally dont like Tomorrowland or Fantasyland. Once I was by Teacups and was hit in eye by debris. Never again, No thanks!! Plus the fire that happened on 7DMT on windy night, just not worth it.

I agree. I just hate the can of sardines feeling that the green zone of the hub gives me.

I remember (Dec 2012) standing on the bridge coming out of Liberty Square and having a pretty good view of the Celebrate the Magic show. Has that changed?

Celebrate the Magic can be seen at that angle.
But, much of Wishes can be blocked by trees.

Absolutely; I feel the best viewing for Wishes (if to one side or the other) is on the Tomorrowland side. Celebrate the magic was great from the Liberty Square bridge.

Many times we have watched from the Tomorrowland bridge, good viewing of Tink and other stuff. Frequently we have been watching Wishes on an eve emh night so that location makes is great for zipping in to ride Buzz and SM. Last trip however Wishes was at 10pm but park closing was 11pm, we stumbled upon the porch of Crystal Palace to watch, it wasn't too bad. The walls were up around the moat for construction at that time. Then we zipped over to BTM for a couple of late night rides before park closing.
