OKW - any firework views?

[MarylandMommy]

Hi, Everyone!
We stayed at OKW in building 64 (I think) in May. When we were taking the boat back from Pleasure Island, I saw some fireworks over the trees. I guess they were from Downtown Disney? Are there any rooms at OKW where there are views of fireworks?
Thanks!

Yes.. When I get home I can find the room we were in.. it was 3rd floor but the Turtle Pond area and from our balconey we could see both Epcot and MGMs fireworks..

Many of the upper floors of OKW buildings have Epcot fireworks views. You only see the highest stuff though. Epcot's parking lot is very near OKW, it just seems far because of how the roads go. We have had views of Illuminations from 15, 63, 14, 40, 22, 29, and a bunch of others that I can't remember.

I know that some people in #38 and #39 have reported being able to see Illuminations too. I think it depends partially on exactly where you are in the building-although dianeschlicht got to see Illuminations from #15, we were there and we couldn't see Illuminations (we loved the location, though!)

I was in Build 63 2nd floor and could not see them last year.. We could hear them Happy to know you can see them I guess I need to request a third floor thought you could see them form somewhere being how loud they are at OKW

We were at the end of building 20 in April and we could see the Epcot fireworks from out the front door! It was great!

I've seen them from the 2nd floor in 62, the third floor in 26, and the second floor in 25? (I think it was 25).

It was just a short novelty to rush to the patio and take a peek, but from building 25 first floor left side studio, we could obviously hear and then just peek at them over the trees.

It was a nice surprise.

We were in a GV, and it could be seen from the top floor of the GV.

It looks like from the answers that the fireworks are in sort of a South-West direction. Does that sound right?

I could see fireworks from the balcony of my one bedroom 3rd floor in buidling 18 and from the balcony of my GV in building 25.
