Which is the best beach to watch the fireworks from?

[tony64]

We are looking to book an ADR at the poly or GF but I wanted to check which has the best view of the fireworks?
We are going on thanksgiving and want to watch them after our meal.

Any opinions greatfully received.

Last year we ate at the GF and at the fireworks it got so crowded and as it was the Pirate and Princess Party and as we had been at it the week before, we just decided to stay inside and watch from a window. This year, I took my Mum and Dad to the beach at the Poly on Father's Day as a surprise to watch Wishes. It was no problem to get somewhere to sit even five minutes before. My tip would be to look for a speaker so you can hear the music being piped in. There is apparently a quiet spot near Luau Cove down the path that leads to the GF. You don't have to eat at the place you want to watch the fireworks from either so if you would prefer to eat at the GF for example, you could still watch the fireworks from the Poly if you wish. Our server at Jiko also recommended the beach at the Contemporary to watch the fireworks from after our meal on the 4th July.

We have also done this (though not on our honeymoon - we spent ours in the Lake District ) and would thoroughly recommend it.

Another good place that not many people know of is the ferry jetty at TTC.
In February we watched Spectromagic then got on the ferry to go to the car park. As we left the ferry the music from Wishes started playing through speakers on the jetty and we turned and watched the show from there. It looked really good and there was probably less than a dozen people watching it with us. And there none of the mad rush and crush when leaving the park once it had finished
