Pretty much anywhere where you can see the castle will be a good view. It's even better if you can see the Matterhorn as well. I would recommend getting there at least 20 minutes early (for the back side of the hub) if the park isn't too busy. The busier it is, the sooner you should try to get there. If it's just one or two people, you can usually squeeze in a pretty good place at the last minute when everybody stands up, but I wouldn't recommend doing that with a large group. A great way to avoid the crowds is watching from by it's a small world. There are projections on the building that go with the show, and when I was there, it was pretty deserted so there weren't any crowd/trying to get a good spot issues. For reserved seats, there are a few at the Main Street train station. I believe the only way to get them is to be a part of a tour earlier in the day that includes them as part of the package. The tours usually fill up a few weeks in advance, so try to book early if that is what you want to do.

We usually get there anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half early, but by then, we're pooped anyway and my younger daughter is ready to sleep. So we just sit and people watch and get popcorn and churros. It's standing room only when they start, but PLEASE be courteous and don't place small children on your shoulders. If you can stake out a bench early, having them stand on it is just as good, since they won't be much taller than an adult anyway. I've heard that they don't do the projections anymore on Small World. There are also no more projections ON the castle, so really, anyplace on Main Street with a view of the TOP of the castle would be a great spot.

It's easy to get a good spot because most everyone leaves the area after Fantasmic. Then, if it's a night with two Fantasmics and you're interested, you'll have a perfect spot for the second show. I don't like the crowd in front of the castle. I've only had bad experiences there.

As for watching the fireworks from the hub, it seems just as the lights go down about a thousand or so people jam in front of me. Excuse me...that is my foot you are standing on.
