Wishes - Beach @ Polynesian

[Otaki2004]

Is it possible for non resort guests to access the beach at the Polynesian in order to view wishes? Not fussed about hearing the soundtrack / seeing the video on the castle as we will have done that on another night on our trip, just thinking about possibly seeing it from a different perspective.

Thanks

Non Poly guests can watch the fireworks there if you have a dining reservation. Maybe try making a dinner reservation before the fireworks? You can hear the wishes music and see the fireworks from ohana (restaurant inside the poly) and also on the beach which also plays the music. I believe the security guards will not let you through the gates unless you have a hotel or dining reservation.

If you are staying at a different disney hotel you get free parking at all of the theme parks (that's what we always get anyways). Maybe you could park at the TTC, take the Express Monorail to the MK, then hop on the Resort monorail and get off at the poly. A lot of work, but guaranteed if you really want to see the fireworks on the beach.

Good luck!

Sure you can Just take the monorail over. They don't check resort ID's unless it's just a super busy time of year (tip for that too is don't use the main beach, use the one that's a little bit further around closer to the Grand Floridian.) Another great location, in my opinion, is the beach at Fort Wilderness. You can't see the castle but you still have a good view of the Fireworks (and they do pipe in the music to the boat dock.)

I read somewhere recently that the new bungalows cut down on the view.

An alternative location is the T&TC dock.
