![]() ![]() ![]() Front and Center – This is a surprisingly pleasant area that usually fills up over an hour in advance, with little traffic being able to get in or out after that. If you cannot see the front of Cinderella Castle from where you’re standing without any obstructions–even if it’s a green zone–move to a spot where it is visible.ġ. □Īvoid stray trees and other obstructions, as this map doesn’t account for those except in heavily obstructed areas. Don’t pull a “Michael Scott” and drive your proverbial “fireworks car” into a lake because you’re following this post verbatim, as if it were GPS. Fireworks map-making is not an exact science (I literally drew this with a brush in Photoshop!) and obviously consulting the map to the degree that you blindly stand directly behind a tree because the map lists that spot as a yellow would be foolish. Note that this map is a rough idea of the best spots. If avoiding crowds is really important to you, consider one of these other locations around the park, as Main Street, USA is crowded before, during, and after the fireworks. It’s still beautiful to watch and can be viewed from anywhere, but we’d recommend viewing it for the first time in front of Cinderella Castle, where the projections can be seen the best.ĭue to that, we haven’t included other spots in the rest of the park on this map–with one exception. Watching from elsewhere in the park may help you avoid the crowds or enable you to have a fun experience while watching (riding Big Thunder Mountain or Splash Mountain during the fireworks is awesome), but you absolutely will miss parts of the show.ĭisney Enchantment features projections on Cinderella Castle and Main Street, and you’ll miss some of the show by not being able to see the projections. There are numerous other “quiet” spots around the Magic Kingdom where you can see parts of the fireworks, but it’s incredibly important to know that all of the Magic Kingdom fireworks shows were designed to be viewed straight-on from Main Street, USA. Orange on the map is a step down from yellow, but still isn’t bad. Consider yellow on the map the “stoplight” version of go, with green on the map being the cream of the crop for views (okay, that part isn’t really like a stoplight). The map below works sort of like a stoplight (with orange added). I’ve watched and photographed the fireworks in the Magic Kingdom over 100 times, and have gotten a good idea of the best and worst spots from which to view the fireworks. With that said, Magic Kingdom fireworks can be the highlight of a trip to Walt Disney World, but finding good spots can be difficult. Even if you’re Conan O’Brien or Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, it might be uncomfortably congested in the green areas, especially as people try to start moving after the fireworks end and it’s essentially gridlock. If you’re shorter or have kids, it’ll be more difficult for them to see. While green locations will offer the objective best view, that’s a theoretical best view. You’ll still want to watch from the green locations if at all possible. ![]() Although Walt Disney World touted the Main Street projections–a first for Magic Kingdom fireworks–they don’t really change the equation. Turning to the fireworks viewing map, not much changes for Disney Enchantment. As you can read in our Disney Enchantment Fireworks Review, we’re among those who do not care for the new show. Guest response to Disney Enchantment has been mixed at best, with the new fireworks being controversial among Walt Disney World fans. While Disney claims that Happily Ever After has been permanently retired, it remains to be seen whether that’s actually the case. Accordingly, if you’re visiting between now and April 1, 2023, expect to see Disney Enchantment. Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is now underway for the next 18 months, meaning Disney Enchantment has replaced Happily Ever After as the Magic Kingdom fireworks. This Magic Kingdom fireworks viewing guide features a map of the best & worst locations to watch Disney Enchantment, sample photos from each spot, and other tips for watching Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary nighttime spectacular! ![]()
