Viewing Symphony in the Stars outside of Studios

[piccolopat]

Anyone know if the new Studios fireworks starting on 12/18 will be visible from anywhere near the Swan or Yacht Club? We can hop from Epcot to see this but we would prefer a less crowded place.

For a great view, you want to head over on the sidewalk to outside DHS.

Good views along the plum-colored pathway inside the area that I shaded in green on the map below.

I asked this elsewhere, but didn't see an answer. Do you think you could see the fireworks from the boardwalk? I know the resort buildings could block the view and there would be better vantage points (thanks for the map), just kind of curious.

You'll be able to see some of the fireworks.
Some can be blocked by the road bridge over the lake.

If you are up in a room with a view in the proper direction, you should be OK.
My map, however, shows the best angle for seeing more of the show from outside the DHS gates.

Thanks for the input. We'll see how we feel after a full day in Epcot and then decide whether to see a more limited view from the boardwalk or hop to the Studios.

Does anyone know what time these new fireworks will start? And will they be every night?

When I stayed in a main pool view room on the top floor of BWV a couple of years ago, I could see the fireworks from a private party at DHS.

Do you think you'll hear the music from here?

I thought I read somewhere every night. Probably starting at dusk...9 or 9:30? Every time we've been to HS for fireworks they have started late. (4th of July & I think SWW). Just an FYI.

They start on the 18th, they shoot off at 11pm and then the last week of the year at midnight. Check the WDW site for schedule on your day
From Jan 1st to Jan 4th they haven't announced the times. Then starting Jan 5th. they will go off at 8pm

Do you think you'll hear the music from here?

They don't pump the music outside the gates, if the wind is blowing your way you might hear it faintly

Not well enough to say that you "heard the show."

 

[Crazy4mandms]

What about hearing the music just inside the DHS gate?

Would love for my DS to see this on our trip in January.

Closing time is 7PM on most nights we are there. Would you expect they will show the fireworks at closing or earlier?

fireworks will be at 8pm starting Jan. 5th, no clue if they are extending park hours

you should be fine inside. If you stand right in front of the Crossroads gift shop you'll have a good view

Interesting. I guess I will keep my eyes open for hours changes.. JUST when you think you have it all figured out!
