In this post I'm going to give my thoughts and opinions on a few unique areas to watch Wishes at the Magic Kingdom, along with the views of a few others.
The perfect spot mostly relies on whatever the person/ group of people is considering to do afterwards. For instance, it's no good for a person that wants to make a rapid exit from the park, to view the show from Fantasyland. But then again observing the show from a place not far from the park exit and wishing to stay in the park for a couple of hours after is a waste of a good chance to get closer to the show. For this reason, before making the decision, determine where you are going once the fireworks have ended.
To Be Closer to the Fireworks.
So I can understand that some of my readers may totally forget exactly how risky fireworks can be and get so excited about being at the Magic Kingdom, that they actually want to be a part the show! (Only a joke. You are definitely safe at all the Disney parks). However if you wish to get a real up close view, then the castle area is best for you.
The Hub is that circular section found in front of Cinderella Castle that links all of the lands together. I've actually viewed Wishes in every location you can possibly imagine. The Hub, Main Street, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Fort Wilderness Campground beach, around the back of the park at Disney University, the bridge to Tomorrowland, the Polynesian Resort beach, and at the top of Bay Lake Tower. Out of all these places, in the front section of the Hub has to be the worst!
The reason why I don't like being in the front area, and by that I mean between Walt and Mickey's "Partners" statue and Cinderella Castle, is mainly because the castle will completely block the view of the fireworks that are behind the castle. One time I had just finished eating dinner at Cinerella's Royal Table, and my family found ourselves extremely close to the castle to watch the show. It wasn't pleasant in the slightest, and I had a terrible crick in my neck from having to look directly above me during the show. I undoubtedly did not have a great time!
The Best Location to View Wishes.
All that being said, so long as you stay towards the back of the Hub you will enjoy the greatest experience possible. Although I do suggest that you stay towards the right of the Castle to get a far better view when a certain fairy flies through the sky.
In my opinion the greatest location to enjoy the Magic Kingdom fireworks is from the seating area just near the Ice Cream Parlor at the end of Main Street (it will be on a park map if you're unsure of the location). Providing that you can get seats there you should have a great view of all parts of the show. However, I do think this is a "get there a few hours before the show" deal.
