Where to see fireworks outside of parks? Memorial Day tips Crowded?????

[juleshope]

Hi to All We will be at the CSR on May 26 and wondered if anyone knew of a good place to watch the fireworks outside of the parks? My daughter has special needs and loves to watch but the sound /crowds are too much for her. But I would hate for her not to see them. Also would it be wisest to go into the MK on Tuesday with her and skip Monday altogether? Any tips suggestions welcome. Happy Spring to all and Thanks Mary Mom to Julianna Hope

Hi!
We will also be at WDW Memorial Day week, and we plan to skip MK on Monday entirely. I'm sure there are better places to see the fireworks than what I'll recommend, but it does have its advantages. DH and I used to leave the park, and there's a bench right there straight ahead past the exit (or at least there was-this was before bag screens). We'd sit there to watch the fireworks, then also be first in line for the buses because we'd already be ahead of everyone else. Couldn't see Tinkerbelle fly, but we saw the fireworks without a crowd.

We stayed at the Poly a couple of years ago and enjoyed watching the fireworks go off over the castle from the beach as we relaxed on lounge chairs. DS and I held hands and I thought, life just doesn't get any better than this! It was great.

Last November we enjoyed a dinner at 'Ohanas and asked for a window seat. We were not directly in front of the windows as I had hoped but at a table across from the windows and had a perfect view of the fireworks! Plus they piped in the music and while all the crowds were filing out of a crowded main street, we were finishing our skewers of shrimp, pork and beef!

Just a couple of suggestions. I hope they help!

A fairly quiet place to watch the fireworks is from the beach at FW. You can then watch the water parade.

Another good place is the boat from FW to MK. We lucked out one night and got on the boat at the right time.
