They have really given us some true magical moments by the special attention that CM's give to us.

    We have figured out the best place for a person in a WC for Fantasmic; on the back row, up against the ropes. This works because everyone in front of us sits down. DL also has great places for us to watch the parades.

    But what about the fireworks? It is always a true fight for my sons to watch the fireworks. We've gotten close to the castle, and away from it, and it has worked ok, but I'm constantly fighting with people to protect my children's view. The problem is that people always seem to come and try to stand in front of my boys. I can't imagine someone standing in front of a child in a wheelchair so that their view is blocked, but it happens almost everytime we're there.

    Does anyone have some advice about this? Places that might work with good viewpoints? Any CM's out there with advice about how to handle people like this? Thanks in advance.

The best place that I found was right in front of the castle on the sidewalk or down Main Street. The people around me were really accomodating and help to make sure that I could see the fireworks. Hope this helps.
