SW fireworks from resorts

[tink20]

Can you see the SW FW from any of the resorts? CSR maybe, just curious, we saw some of Illuminatins last night

 

[Robo]

Yup.

 

[Anonny]

I had a good view from Pop. Of course, only the high fireworks, not anything low or the projections.

You will be closer at CSR.

Word is there is a great view from the bridge over Hourglass Lake between the Pop and A of A, and they pipe in the music. Can anyone confirm?

Good view from the Pop side of the bridge looking over the Lion King section of AoA. No piped in music when I was there in March. I could kind of hear the music. I would not expect it to be piped in as it is in a public place that is kind of quiet at night.

We could see them great from the pool at CBR last year.

 

[JessicaW1234]

Yup.

Can you point out the best place in HS to view them? We are gong to try for the dessert party, but if we don't get it, where are other good places in the park? We will have our 10 yr olds- is there any place that they will not be in a crush of people?

Inside DHS-

And, just outside DHS-
Good views along the plum-colored pathway inside the area that I shaded in green on the map below.

Thank you!
Can you point out on the map where the dessert party viewing area is?

 

[Robo]

More or less, between #16 and #2 on the map.

 

[JessicaW1234]

More or less, between #16 and #2 on the map.

Ok, thanks! Is that view better than the others? Is it less crowded?

Most of the views are good (in the green-shaded areas.)
Dessert Party area is fine with good views of the live show.
We don't know how many Dessert Party tickets they will be selling,
so we don't know how crowded the DP will be.
(They tend to keep making changes until they get the number to their liking.)

Everywhere with a view of the fireworks will be crowded.

the live show that accompanied the SW fireworks ended last year with the last SWW. The current fireworks show that started in December and the new one that starts on the 17th won't have any live show, just fireworks, projections and lasers
The dessert party sells 200 ticket, max of 225

Star Wars fireworks launch area is moving from inside the park to across World Drive in a newly built launch area.
That along with a new show, we aren't sure exactly how they will present beyond the park but should still be visible.
We watched from the front of CSR and am sure you could see from the Main Pool side of the lake.
I've seen from POP but not much until you go up on the upper floors.
I've watched from the back of Hoops at AllStar Sports.

I've watched them from the path to Epcot, just outside the main gate and inside ............ and nothing compared to inside because the music is such a big part.

Again, we don't know what the new ones will look like ...
...and now they are adding projections and lasers, so my fear is we may see a less intense fireworks to keep costs in check making up for it with projections.

 

[WEDWDW]

The "high fireworks" can be seen AND HEARD from "spots' at all 3 All-Star Resorts.

I like to watch from the top of the "Lifeguard Tower" closest to End Zone Food Court in Building 6 at Sports.

that's what I fear as well. I can clearly hear the SW fireworks from my house (I live close to the airport) and I have been hearing the testing they are doing around 1am for the new show and the booms are not as many, of course they could only be testing portions of the show.

I love fireworks ..... they would be a big draw for me if I lived there.

Question: do you ever tire of hearing them? or is it like a touch of nightly magic?

never get tired. I always think of that scene in Mary Poppins where they set their clocks to the cannons. I can clearly hear the booms from the SW fireworks, faintly hear Wishes, can't hear Illuminations at all.

We could see them from our balcony on the 12th floor of the Contemporary on the standard (bay lake) side. we could also see them from our room at the YC, 5th floor overlooking the gazebo and facing in the direction of DHS and away from Epcot (too lazy to pull up a map and see which direction that actually is). However, and I feel this way about all fireworks, while it is very cool to see them from your balcony, I think they are a pale version of themselves without the accompanying music. The Star Wars ones, in particular, are absolutely amazing in person right in front of the Chinese Theater and just pretty from the resort rooms.
