Hi Everyone I would like to get your opinions on a timing question I have.

We have a 8 PM chef Mickey's reservation (may or may not catch a ride or two at MK before heading over to Contemporary) then I scheduled a FP for MSEP 11 PM showing (I think the FP says to arrive between 10:30 and 10:50). Anyway do you think we be able to get back to MK for Celebrate the Magic and/or Wishes. Can we catch Wishes with a good view at the contemporary then head to MK for the parade.

We're have annual passes so if it means rushing we won't worry about the shows that night and just head back for the parade.

I was assuming we probably won't make celebrate the magic but could possibly make wishes.
 
Contemporary has a 4th floor observation deck where you'll have a great view of the fireworks. The music is piped in.

If you get seated quickly (arrive a few minutes early) and plan to walk back to MK, you may get back in time for Celebrate the Magic.
 
When is Wishes? I generally allow about 60-75 minutes for a TS meal, although with a buffet you can control the speed a little better. Given that you have to get to the MK after eating, I would guess that you'll be getting back to MK between 9:30 pm and 10:00 pm, depending on how long the meal takes, how quickly you get back to MK (the fastest is probably walking), etc.

As the PP said, they do pipe in the music to the 4th floor observation deck. You won't see much of the castle show (probably very little), but you should have an interesting view of Wishes. The fireworks will appear to the right of castle (towards Space). Just make sure the monorail beam doesn't get in your way!
