    Hello Moms and Dad, Our 1st night at the world we would like to visit some of the resorts Can you see illuminations fireworks from the boardwalk? 2y/o 1st visit really don't know if he will like the fireworks. Thanks, Tara

    The Illuminations fireworks can be seen from the Boardwalk Resort area. If you stroll past the ESPN Club and continue past Seabreeze Pointe, you'll find yourself on a bridge. From here, you'll have a good view of the higher flying fireworks. You will not be able to see the "globe" portion of the show.

    It is a very good idea to watch fireworks from a distance if children are afraid of loud noises. If the noise is too loud for your child, seek refuge inside the Beach Club lobby or veer back to the Boardwalk's lobby. You could also duck into a store. We used to use this strategy with our son!

    Just take note that only about 1/3 of the Illuminations show includes blasts of high-flying fireworks. Much of the show takes place on the lagoon and you would need to be inside Epcot to fully appreciate it.

    I think it's a great idea to watch fireworks from a distance when visiting with first-time, young visitors.
