I believe that the observation platform in the Contemporary is no longer open to the public (unless you dine at the restaurant up there), but the Polynesian beach is still a great uncrowded spot to see them from.
We had a LV concierge room at the Polynesian last year and watched it from our balcony. Didn't think I would like as much as being at the MK. Boy was I wrong. It was wonderful! You could see it from any of the monorail resorts.
We watched the fireworks from 'Ohana's afer a super dinner there. It was pretty cool with the lights dimmed and the music piped in. We will definitely be going back there for dinner and the fireworks!
I just made ressies yesterday for 'Ohana on a night the fireworks are scheduled. I thought I would have to go out by the beach to see them, but glad to know we can right from the restuarant.
