Question Fireworks from hotel

I am taking it that we can see the MVMCP fireworks from the monorail resorts. Or are they low or where we can't see them from our resort? We are going to the MVMCP but I'm just curious about the nights we are not going.

You can definitely see them from the Poly and the GF....you will faintly hear the music but not enough for a full effect (unless you are watching from somewhere they pipe the music in). I am partial to the beach at the Poly of the Marina at the GF.

I have only seen them from the CG at the Contemporary.

I've watched MK fireworks shows from the Poly beach several times and from the GF in front of Narcoose's once. You can see anything that goes higher than the buildings (and that's most of them), but can't really see any lights aimed at the castle very well (distance is too far).

Yes, but not really well. It's just not the same without the music / castle lights

anyone can go to the 4th floor at the CR and go outside on their balcony and see the fireworks with the music.

you can also see the fireworks from just about any place outside at the CR - just as long as the CR is not in your way.

You can see Epcot fireworks at CBR and Pop as well as the epcot resorts.

When we stay at the Contemporary, we stay in the Tower, with a MK view room. It is awesome to be able to watch the fireworks from the room's balcony

It also helps us because our kids had been afraid of the noise of the fireworks, so at least we were able to see them without the noise bothering the kids, or the mad rush back to the monorail afterwards.
