Wishes as 4th FP+

[sasmom]

Has anyone has any luck getting Wishes as a 4th FP+? I hate to use one of my initial selections on it since that would preclude getting more than 3, but it would be nice to have. Does Wishes tend to book up ahead of time? We are going in late June. Thanks!

Where is the Wishes viewing location and is really worth a FP??

I'm curious about this too

The viewing locations is the grassy area in the Rose Garden. You are seeing wishes to the side of the castle not straight on.

we just got back from 10 nights , never once did I see wishes or MSEP available as an extra fp... we did manage one night to get Fantasmic for the early show one day on our way out at about 2:30. I also never saw Illuminations available.. So I wouldn't count on it.

I was able to book a fp for MSEP when they opened up before we left and it was great! We stayed in the same location for the projection show and wishes. I personally would not use a fp for wishes, there are so many other spots to see it from... but good luck

Does MSEP FP area has a good view of Celebrate the Magic and Wishes? I don't know exactly where is MSEP FP area located, and I don't want to raise my neck the whole time to catch the fireworks/see the projections.

Thanks for the replies! I would rather use my FPs on rides but I don't think my kids can handle a long wait to stake out a spot. I also want to see the projection show on the castle. Any tips for where to find a decent spot we wouldn't need to claim an hour before? I tried to get reservations for the wishes dessert party but no luck!

They way I see it I've never needed FP to see any parade or fireworks in the past so why would I now?

Where is the spot for the MSEP? Ahhh. Disney making it confusing when we almost had it figured out!!
Do the FP+ just open up at random as a 4th option for parades and fireworks?

We were there the last week of May. We had FP for both the afternoon parade, and Wishes. The parade FP was fantastic and we got great interaction and a great view. The Wishes FP was terrible. We had to stand on the sidewalk in the rose garden--You could not see the castle show hardly at all and Wishes was off to the side. There were a lot of trees in the way as well. Our whole group was of the opinion that Wishes was not worth using a FP on.

the fp+ spot for the MSEP is right in front of the castle the inner hub in the middle. We just turned toward the castle and stood up for the projection show and wishes. We thought it was a great view.

I think the MSEP FP+ spot is far too close for Celebrate the Magic and Wishes. After the parade is over, simply move further back toward Main Street for a view where the castle won't block most of the big fireworks.

We just recently returned and had a fast pass for wishes. It ws awesome. As we headed in for dinner at the Plaza, people were already staking out spots for the parade. We ate and the strolled to our reserved spots. We were dead center to the castle, with some spots right in front and some a little back leaning on the railing. After the parade we all moved to the railing and had a perfect spot for the castle show. Yes, you miss some of the fireworks behind the castle, but most of it is still great. They open the area up after the parade so it fills up fast, but most poeple sat the whole time, so it was great for the kids.

we just walked part of the way down Main Street and had a good view. The crowd was thin enough that my then nine year old, who is not really tall, had an unobstructed view of the castle show and Wishes.

Thanks! We got a FOF parade FP, so I'm glad to hear that was good. I guess we'll just take our chances on finding a good spot for Wishes.
