Being it was just ONE lucky family per day and first dibs, you can imagine the competitive nature.

The Jedi Academy had a sprinkle of this though nowhere near the same since it had dozens of slots daily. As long as you showed up at park open very likely to get one. The time slots could fill in pretty quick though.

Second trip there tonight (Thursday 1/22). I tried to make reservations but was told none were available. I decided to chance it with some friends who were on their 1st Disney trip. We had no issue getting into the viewing area, no one checked reservations. There were a total of 115 guests (from the CM who walked around with a clicker while the fireworks were going on). There was plenty of room for everyone and could have been 200 more without being crammed.

To the person who asked about being crowded, there's plenty of room and you don't need to be right at the front since the fireworks are up high.

There really isn't a podium and no one was paying any attention who came.

First time we got there really early, second time we got there around 830.

we just got back from our end of Jan yearly stay--we were there from the 23 to 30
our home resort is the poly but like taking the monorail to BLT for the fireworks--
this has sure changed in the last few years--used to be there was a check in podium right by the elevators--you haad to show your blue card or on the phone I believe and then theCM would get you in the elevarorand send you on your way
you could stand anywhere on the deck--nothing more to do once you got up rather
but the last few times there was no one to check we just went up--no one to check in with so we got pur usual spots right by the railing
but this year we still just went up by ourselves and right when you walk in to the deck was roped off--we had to go all the way to the end to get in which was also blocked off--DH has issuses with his knees so he needs to sit in the chairs that are accoss from the railing but that was in a roped off area but a CM let us in that area anyways which was nice
but this year my DH saw that we could see the fireworks really good right from the poly with piped in music-
sure was nice just walking back to the room instead of waiting for the elevator and then a monorail
so that was a good change
