In this post I'm going to give my thoughts and opinions on a few unique areas to watch Wishes at the Magic Kingdom, along with the views of a few others.
The ideal place mostly relies upon what the person/ group of people is wanting to do at the end of the show. As an example, it is no good for a person that wants to make a speedy exit from the park to see the display from Fantasyland, being required to fight through the crowds that are all attempting to do the same thing. But then again viewing the show from an area nearby the park exit and wanting to stay in the park after is a waste of a good chance to get closer to the castle. So before making the decision, determine where you are heading after the fireworks have finished.
If You Wish to Be Closer to the Fireworks.
So I can understand that some of my readers may completely forget how unsafe fireworks can be and get so excited while visiting The Disney World Resort that they actually want to be in the show! (This is a joke. You are definitely safe at all the Disney World parks). However if you would like to get a real up close view, then the Hub is the area for you.
The Hub is that circular section found in front of Cinderella Castle that links all of the lands together. I've actually viewed Wishes in every location you can possibly imagine. The Hub, Main Street, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Fort Wilderness Campground beach, around the back of the park at Disney University, the bridge to Tomorrowland, the Polynesian Resort beach, and at the top of Bay Lake Tower. Out of all these places, in the front section of the Hub has to be the worst!
The reason why I don't like being in the front area, and by that I mean between Walt and Mickey's "Partners" statue and Cinderella Castle, is mainly because the castle will completely block the view of the fireworks that are behind the castle. One time I had just finished eating dinner at Cinerella's Royal Table, and my family found ourselves extremely close to the castle to watch the show. It wasn't pleasant in the slightest, and I had a terrible crick in my neck from having to look directly above me during the show. I undoubtedly did not have a great time!
The Best Place to Watch The Fireworks.
All that being said, so long as you stay towards the back of the Hub you will enjoy the greatest experience possible. Although I do suggest that you stay towards the right of the Castle to get a far better view when a certain fairy flies through the sky.
For me personally, as well as numerous others, the ideal place to watch Wishes is from the seating area just outside the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor at the Castle end of Main Street (it will be on a park map if you're not sure of where it is). If you get seats there you will have a fantastic view of all parts of the show. Even so, I would suggest that you get there a few of hours before the show.
