I do not believe you can see Wishes from the beach area at the GF. You can watch it from the boat dock area. We have watched Wishes from the GF a few times and if you go up from the boat dock area to Gasparilla Grill & Games (which is the GF take out place) there are tables and chairs. As the time gets closer for Wishes to start, you see parents with little kids coming to this area. Alot of time the kids have on their pj's and have a pillow with them. You really can't hear the music of Wishes from this area. We have also watched Wishes from the beach area at the Poly. I think you get a nicer view of Wishes from here. You can hear the music if you go to the beach straight down from the hotel. If you wander down the beach you might be able to hear some of the music but not all of it.
