Wishes: dream a dream! If you have seen the fireworks at the
Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, I am sure that you are familiar with that
line from the show. Since we are
able to see Wishes on a pretty regular basis, we have been trying to scout out
new locations for viewing this nighttime spectacular. Of course, one of the best locations is on Main Street,
USA. If you stand here, Cinderella
Castle acts a backdrop for the show, and you can take in all of the beauty of
this section of the park. Although
many people flock to Main Street to get this view of the fireworks, this is not
the only good view of Wishes to be had in the Magic Kingdom. Main Street can get very crowded, and
people start to push and shove, and that is just not conducive to a magical
experience. If you want to avoid
the crush of Main Street, you can venture over to Liberty Square near the dock
for the Liberty Belle. If you
watch the fireworks from here, you can even sit down on the low stonewall near
the stocks. This is an excellent
spot for viewing the fireworks, and not many people stand in this area. There are some downsides in that you
cannot really see the castle from this angle. You can, however, see Tinkerbell
make her flight from the castle.
Plus, after the fireworks, you could hop right on Haunted Mansion if the
park is still open.
Also inside Magic Kingdom, you can
journey to a brand new section of the park in New Fantasyland. If you stand in the middle of the new
castle walls right behind Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, you will be
surrounded by fireworks! The
smaller charges are set off near the castle and Fantasyland, and the larger
blasts come from an area outside of the park behind Storybook Circus. If you enjoy perimeter fireworks, this
is the area for you. A word of
caution if you plan on watching Wishes in New Fantasyland: make sure to bring
earplugs. The fireworks are set
off very close to this location, and they are very, very loud. We saw many small children who were so
uncomfortable with the loud booming that they did not enjoy the show.
