Originally Posted By Labuda Closest to where they're shot off would be outside the park, kind of behind the MK. hehe

Plenty of great fireworks, as well as lasers, lights, live performers, film projected on huge water screens - if you've never seen either show before, don't miss the Florida version. Then take a trip to DL and see how it was meant to be done!

Originally Posted By nemopoppins Between the carousel and Dumbo seems like the effect I'm looking for. Thanks for the advice!

That's our favorite place, 2nd would be the Poly beach. But last year it seemed like the fireworks were always 360. So any place would be good.
