We went to Disneyland earlier this month with some family friends. Altogether we had 5 children, all under 5' (some under 4') tall. Aside from limiting their choices of rides (the youngest couldn't even ride Radiator Springs Racers), the nighttime shows were incredibly disappointing for them. They could barely see World of Color or Disneyland Forever.
Now we're planning a trip with them to WDW in December and have the same concerns for Wishes, Celebrate the Magic, and Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular. Does anyone have any tips or suggested places to watch these shows from so that the kids can see more than someone else's backside?
Parades aren't that big of a deal. If you show up early enough, you can snag a great spot along the rope and everybody can see. But the fireworks and projection shows are trickier, because everybody just crowds in and it isn't long before even some height-challenged adults (such as myself) can't see very well...much less, the children in our party. If you get *too* close then the castle blocks the fireworks. And while the train station's upper platform is fine for fireworks, it's not so great for Celebrate the Magic. (And with the Christmas tree in the town square in December, it's not so great for fireworks, either.)
