Wishes and MSEP from Hall of Presidents?

[allmydisneydreams]

A couple of years ago we were in Fantasyland during Wishes. While we didn't actually see the "show" we could see fireworks overhead and hear the music playing. We thought it was fun I am wondering if it would be possible to experience Wishes this way in Liberty Square or maybe Frontierland near the Country Bears? We don't really want to fight for a spot and are planning to watch the MSEP from near Hall of Presidents or Country Bears.

Also - if MSEP is at 10:15, what time will it make it back to that area? And how early would you need to secure a spot to get a decent view? Thanks for any help.

Similar experience. You would see the fireworks but not the 'show'. We've have watched from Liberty Square area and it was fine, for the fireworks, though not the castle overly concept.

Figure 20 minutes or so to get there, get a spot maybe 30 minutes earlier.

Good tips here.

Definitely not the best spot for viewing Wishes, but it is a great spot for watching th parade. Crowds in that area seem lower for all parades in general. We haven't ever watched MSEP from that area, but have done the regular day time parade and the Christmas parade. Both times we arrived less than an hour before it began and got great spots!
