Magic kingdom fireworks from train station

[lucky4you]

How long before once upon a time should I get to the train station if I want to watch the shows from there?

Not sure if this is still the case, but last I heard the upper level of the train station is roped off for VIP tour guests.

Not only that, but even if you CAN get up there, the view and the viewing conditions are not optimal for seeing the show(s) well from there.

It’s also really, really hot up there in the summer. If you don’t care about getting the best view/want to be near the exit, you could stand on the sidewalk across from the train station. I did that once; it’s not bad. Just be aware of where the flagpole is. It’s certaintly not a clear view, but the tradeoff is you’re not squished and can arrive 10-15mn ahead of time.

I saw Wishes from there a few times and I liked it for a quick exit. I could see fine. I haven’t been there since HEA debuted (its first showing was the departure day of our last trip) so I can’t comment on what HEA looks like from there.

I did see the last ever Wishes show from there. Based on a post above though, it sounds like things have changed since HEA began and this area may not be available for fireworks viewing.

In May I tried but all the spots were staked out when I checked at 7:00pm. I thought for sure 7 would be early enough. Nope

OK, I guess scratch that. What about from Casey's?
