Wishes from Sleepy Hollow?

1. Can we watch wishes from the bridge to tomorrow land?
2. How soon are the tables by the plaza and caseys taken?
3. Do we need to be eating to keep the tables?

1. Only the half that is closer to the Hub. Past that, the view is blocked.

2. Like anything "guest driven..." On some nights it could be 2 hours. Other nights, 20 minutes.
(Do you feel LUCKY? ;) )

3. No CM will shoo you off, but you're liable to get "the evil eye" from other guests who HAVE just purchased
hot dogs, ice cream or sandwiches and are looking for a table.

-------------------------------

Below is a "work-in-progress" of my overview of the new Hub.
Some of the "outer" sidewalks shown have not been built yet.
Some of the unfinished areas have since been finished.
Again, a work-in-progress, all the way around.
The original photo is by Scott Keating, posted on WDWMagic.

(You can see the tables in front of Casey's in the image below.
There are normally tables on the Plaza side, too.)

We tried to watch from there last August. Poor view of the fireworks, at best.
 
Agreed.

We also like to watch from the wooden bridge between Frontierland "street" and Big Thunder Mtn. (The Wooden Bridge is labeled in purple on the parade route map below.)

The angle is quite different, but it's nice.
The audio is great back there and you can even see a bit of Tinker Bell as she flies from the castle.

Just keep in mind that you won't be able to see the spectacular and very popular castle projection show, "Celebrate the Magic" (starts 15 min. before Wishes) from any of these "outside areas."

There are some unique spots back in Frontierland. Just moving around a couple of 100 yards can offer several different views. If you are just watching, there are cool views from along the Rivers of America, but you will have to do some head turning. From the shot below you can see some of the projections and you do get a good view of the fireworks right behind the castle, but the other ones fired from behind the park (back towards BTMR?) will make you think you are at a tennis match with the head turns back and forth.

I tried getting photos of the fireworks that are shot from farther back, but swinging my tripod around and trying to adjust settings was way too much. Plus those trees were a little too close. Hopefully this gives a general idea of that area...

(to give a little bit of an idea as to how much head turning there can be from this location, from the same spot as the first photo, you can see in the bottom right corner the house/landing for the rafts to Tom Sawyer Island. From this angle the back fireworks are viewed in between that TSI landing and BTMR)
