Watching Illuminations from Beach Club

[NJOGRE]

What is the best location to watch the fireworks from the Beach Club? Can you see it from Stormalong Bay? Or do you need to go onto the walking paths? Do they pipe the music in like they do at MK hotels?

Just be aware you don't really see everything from that location like you do with MK. I don't remember music being piped in but not 100% sure as we were actually watching just saw a few charges. You really need to be at the walking paths as with Stormalong Bay the other building blocks your view. You mostly just see the big bursts so the beginning, fake finally, and ending as well as a few of the arch shots that happen around the lagoon.

So what you are saying is there is no place in that area (Broadwalk) that will let you see most of the fireworks?

You can see most of them from the boardwalk.

Most of Illuminations happens low and over the water. There is a hill, trees and buildings between the Boardwalk/BC and Epcot. So you see some of the higher fireworks, but since a lot of it happens low, a lot of it is blocked by trees. There are a few spots where the glimpses are better than others, but there isn't a good place to watch unless you go into the park.

Illuminations isn't an all-fireworks show like Wishes. There are a few minutes of fireworks at the beginning and again at the end, but most of the show is video projected on a globe on the lagoon inside Epcot, plus fire and water and light effects. You can''t see any of that outside of Epcot.

You can see some of the high fireworks from various points around the Boardwalk/Yacht Club/Beach Club area, but as PPs have said, not a lot.

If you're just looking to see a few fireworks (with long stretches of nothing in-between), then try the bridge that goes across Crescent Lake by the Boardwalk, I hear that's one of the better spots. If you want to see all of Illuminations, you need to go into Epcot.

You can see some of the high fireworks at beginning and end of the show from Beach Club and Boardwalk but most of illuminations is low. It's not comparable at all to Wishes. And the music is not heard or "piped in" from any of the Epcot resorts. You may view some of it from the bridge from beach club to Boardwalk by ESPN club but it won't be a great view.

Head to Epcot for the best view. Then you will be back at BCV in five minutes after it is over.

you can view some of the fireworks from the bridge that is between the BCV & Boardwalk.
