We will be at Disney exactly when the fireworks start back up. We are in Epcot on July 1st, and that seems more manageable as far as finding a spot somewhere around WS lagoon, but MK is another story. We will be there on July 2nd. I had posted about HEA viewing spots in the general boards looking for spot suggestions that prioritize avoiding crowds over projections. My assumption is that we just aren't going to be able to see the projections at all if we don't want to be around a LOT of people, and that is something we accepted. Our large multigenerational group (13) has children with severe ADHD, autism and other sensory needs plus an ECV and I may be relying on a cane, depending on how things go. For the children in particular, we want to make things comfortable. They are not capable of showing up 100 minutes in advance (or even necessarily 30 minutes in advance) and waiting for fireworks. I am sure the projections are amazing, but we are used to making the best of things. I did receive a comment that we really should see the show with the projections (none of us has ever seen Happily Ever After before). I'm sure that it is amazing but I just don't think we could make it work for us, unless there is something I am just not thinking of or an accommodation that exists. I know there are some ECV areas, but our group is too big and we would not be able to get there early enough anyway.
Realistically, for people who have families that are more like ours, is there anyplace in MK that offers some kind of compromise that might work? Clearly we aren't going to be in the middle of the hub in the glow of the projections and fireworks with Tinkerbell flying overhead. My plan had been to be off somewhere in Frontierland and the kids could see some fireworks, of course not as the show was designed, but, you know, without a million people around and the challenges that presents. Is there a middle ground? Some special spots folks have found that work out pretty well, do not require getting there early, perhaps allow you to see some amount of the projections and are not particularly crowded? We do not expect to see the perfect view of the show. We have let that go like Elsa! We're just happy for the fireworks.
Thanks for any suggestions!
