Originally Posted By FerretAfros I believe they are done from the roof of the Tiki Room building, the Pioneer Mercantile building, and El Rancho Del Zocalo, but I'm not entirely sure.

Originally Posted By dresswhites closed for cms, not guests who shouldn't be back there. but i know there is the fantasyland custodial locker there, and the village haus service window and the break room for cms below. does that all close for the fireworks?

I know they rope off the front of the castle, and after the show, I've seen a rope from the Village Haus to the Mad Hatter, but I don't know if the area behind that stays open during the show or not. I assume it does, as it is the only feasable way to get across the park, and it takes a while to check the areas for fire hazards, but I'm not sure.
Originally Posted By dresswhites snow white, pinnochio, the carrousel, peter pan, mr toad and alice all close for the fireworks. Teacups, Casey, Dumbo, storybook, the matterhorn and usually small world remain open for the duration of the show.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Interesting that the Matterhorn stays open, considering that they launch a lot of stuff off the top of it. Do any of the rides that they launch stuff from (other than the ones in Fantasyland) close? I don't really see why there would be so much more of a hazard, since they are still shooting stuff off the roofs.
