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 best spot mostly depends on what the person/ family is hoping to do once the show has ended. It is quite silly for anyone who wants to exit from the park, to view the show from Fantasyland. Then again, viewing the show from a place next to the park exit and then hoping to stay in the park for a number of hours after is also a silly idea. Therefore before making the decision, decide where you are heading off after the fireworks have finished.
If You Want to Be Near the Castle.
So I realize that some of my readers may totally forget how unsafe fireworks can be and get so excited by being at Walt Disney World that they actually want to be in the show! (Just a joke. You are always safe at all of the parks). But if you would like to get a real up close view, then the Magic Kingdom Hub is the location 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 main reason why I don't like being in the front spot, 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 main fireworks. One time I had just finished eating dinner at Cinerella's Royal Table (a restaurant inside the castle) and my group found ourselves extremely close to the castle to watch the show. Not only did I miss half the fireworks, but I had a tremendous crick in my neck from having to look directly above me. I certainly did not have a magical time!
The Greatest Spot to Watch 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.
For me personally, as well as numerous others, the ideal place to watch Wishes is from the seating area just outside the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor at the Castle end of Main Street (it will be on a park map if you're not sure of where it is). If you get seats there you will have a fantastic view of all parts of the show. Even so, I would suggest that you get there a few of hours before the show.
