Hello Kelly,
Your first trip to Disney World is fast approaching...can you believe it?
I won't lie. I cry at the end of
Wishes Nighttime Spectacular each and every time. It's so magical!
The fireworks show can take place at a different
time each night, usually around 9 or 10 p.m. So you'll want to pick up a Times Guide when you arrive to check on its start time.
One of the most popular spots to watch Wishes - and perhaps one of my personal favorites - is directly in front of Cinderella's Castle by the statue with Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. You can't miss it. It's a fantastic view because it's unobstructed. But be warned, this area tends to get crowded. So you'll want to stake out a spot at least a half hour before the show.
If in front of the Castle is crazy with people, my family likes standing right on Main Street U.S.A. You can't go wrong watching from there either!
Hope this helps!
