Is there any place outside of the MK which would make for good viewing of the Wishes thing? Like the California grill which is atop the Contemporary for example.
Hey neighbor! I live in Norfolk, MA and go to Church (and Stop and Shop) in Franklin!!
I'm not expert on viewing locations (like the Poly or GF) but I do know that you can view the fireworks from the 4th floor of the Contemporary near the gift shops. I believe they no longer allow you to view the fireworks from California Grill unless you are eating there.
I've heard that you can see them from the beach at the Poly as well.
The beach at Poly has an excellent (if somewhat distant) view of the FW, as does most locations around the Lagoon. You can also catch the electric water pagent from there.
There are many places as stated above to view wishes. HOWEVER, I need to suggest, if at all possible, view them from inside the park. I think you miss out on the whole experience if you don't get the music too!
