Although the Magic Kingdom has a lot for kids not so much for adults, this is also a fun experience to see. A great place to view the fireworks is the Contemporary Hotel in the restaurant on the top, which currently is closed for renovations.

This was well worth returning to the park later in the evening. Even though the place was packed everyone had a perfect view of the castle. The music and the fireworks were brilliant and I cried it was so wonderful.

We enjoyed the Electric Parade, animated show on the castle, and the fireworks. It was nice to catch it all, but after a long day the tight crowd was egged on by the staff to get in as close as possible. Tough to maneuver with small children if they aren't on your shoulders. Strollers are difficult at that point.

We make sure we see Wishes every chance we get! It is our favourite fireworks show at Disney! We will even leave a park to ensure we make it to Magic Kingdom on time to watch the show every night!

We love fireworks, but our whole family pretty much summed it up later in that we think Disneyland in CA has a much better show. Don't get me wrong this is a good show but we were I think expecting more for this was WDW. If your not at the MK, you can go and watch the fireworks from a... More

Absolutely breathtaking! The most beautiful fireworks I've ever seen. We watched them in the park and also on a Wishes Fireworks Cruise as part of our wedding. The view from the boat was wonderful and the perfect end to the day. You can't go to MK and not see Wishes, just amazing!

This is a must see when visiting Magic Kingdom, it made a really great end to a wonderful day. Not only are there fireworks, but the music and show that go along with it are amazing.
