Has anyone here watched Celebrate the Magic or fireworks from the flag pole area in Main St?
Is the view alright?

Reason I'm asking is because it took ages, but FP+ for MESP in January finally opened - with a new location (flag pole by the entrance)

We have 3 MK days:
1st day - doing the Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party (so I guess at least one day we'll have alright views of Wishes, really stuck on CtM)
2nd day - all confusing now
3rd day - we'll be skipping fireworks area and doing BoG dinner / MineTrain / etc while the crowds are on Main St.

With the second day we had planned on MESP FP+ (thinking it would be in front of the castle) then the castle projection show while we were there - followed by wishes.

The whole point of FP+ for the parade was so we didnt have to fight the crowds down main street around firework time, so am guessing we'll probably have to skip the castle projections completely / just stay down by the flag pole to watch the fireworks? :(

Kinda bummed we wont be able to see the projections, but not sure its worth trying to wade up main street right before wishes with our dislike of crowds being all like sardines in a can *laughs*

What is CtM like? Ive heard some amazing reviews and would love to see it, but so stuck on it at the moment.
 
I've never watched Wishes from the flagpole, but there is two showings of the projection show. You could always watch Wishes from the flagpole then walk up to the castle to watch the projection show.
 
Thansk for the quick reply!

Didnt know about there being 2 shows, I checked the date we'll be there and they only have 1 show of Celebrate the Magic (probably because its low season)

Going to try to think about it some more, the fireworks arent a massive deal because we do have the dessert party reservations, but really torn on what to do with CtM now that MESP is so far away from it - it has such good reviews and really would be awesome to see, just dont know if its possible at the moment
