We just returned from WDW about 5 days. Stayed at the CR. You could see it at about 10:10 every evening. My 5 year old niece tried her hardest every single night to stay up to see it. She loved it!! If you are staying in the North Garden Wing, inside room facing the playground & the lake (near the main building) you can see it right from your room. Open the sliding doors & you can hear the music - it's beautiful.
