I will be seeing Wishes for the 1st time ever on May 7th. Can someone please tell me where the best place to stand is. I have no idea about where to stand or anything like that.


Thanks.
 
I saw "Hallowishes" at MNSSHP in October, 2005. We sat on the sidewalk in front of the castle. As you're facing the castle, we sat on the right side of the circle. We had good seats. We could see the castle walls and also the fireworks without obstruction.

I have not seen "Wishes". Just the Halloween version. It was great!
 
I think the best place is in front of the castle. We saw Wishes once in Fantasyland, and it was awful.
 
We like to stand in the area around the flagpole on Main Street.
 

My favorite place to watch Wishes is directly in the middle of the street near Casey's Corner. I have found on MANY occasions that, if you sit directly in front of the castle, the fireworks do not get high enough to see the whole effects. By just moving down the street a little, you can see everything.

Hope this helps and you have a wonderful trip!!! :wave2:
 
We watched Wishes in December at the Tomorrowland Noodle Station patio. There is plenty of seating and you are just off to the right of the castle.
Another great spot that many people recommend is on the bridge to Tomorrowland. Tinkerbell will pass right over your head.
 
I like on the bridge into tomorrowland. Tinkerbell flys out of the castle right above your head.
 
We too like to stand on the bridge into tomorrowland - you get a great view of tinkerbell as he/she comes right over your head! :duck:

Tinkerbell is now, and always has been, a cute youthful little girl fairy.

That's what Walt said and I won't consider anything else. ;)

And pay no attention to the WIRE that runs from the castle to Main Street.
That's just there to point the way and remind (the slightly absent-minded and a bit vain) Tink that she is to fly straight overhead, don't dawdle or tease the children, and to get out of the way of the fireworks!
 
Definately do NOT stay right in front of the Castle....

Fireworks won't get high enough... I learned the hard way.
 
Stand in the very beginning of Main Street on the platform for the train. Its a great view from there you get to see everything..
 
anywhere on main street is a good spot to see wishes. or, make dinner ressies at the california grille. they have a balcony for those dining at the restaurant to watch wishes. it's a great view from there, too.
 
We have stood on the bridge to Tomorrowland and enjoyed it alot. I wonder what its like watching Wishes from the Train station on Main Street.??? It's always soooooo crowded up there. :earsboy:
 
yes while its very crowded I feel it's the best view becasue there is something magical about seeing fireworks over one of the most famous castles in the world. does anyone else agree with me?
 
We sat at a table next to the Dumbo ride and the firewirks exploded directly above our heads...talk about MAGICAL...I still get goosebumps thinking about it. :wizard: :wizard:
 
we love the rose garden, there is a small path/fence area. Our family of 7 fit very nicely there. Tinkerbell flys directly over our heads.
But you need to claim your spot at least 1 hour ealy if not sooner.
