What are your favorite places to watch Wishes, Illuminations, and the Star Wars (which will soon be Christmas) fireworks?

My two favorite places to watch Wishes are:
From the bridge to Be Our Guest- this is about as close to the actual launching pad as you can get, and having the tiny castle on top of the restaurant frame the fireworks makes them look huge.
And from the northwest fire escape of the Contemporary. This can be reached for free.

Hallowishes is fun to watch from the boat dock at the Grand Floridian, since the finale explosions fill your whole field of view. There are several benches facing the castle here and it's a pretty popular place to watch the fireworks. Also can be accessed for free.

I've never tried but I hear California Grill Lounge is a great place to see the show.

I saw Illuminations from the Rose & Crown patio, that was sweet.

I've found that the parks provide excellent fireworks viewing spots!

Failing to get in, you can also watch from outside a park!

Wishes, taking someone for the first time edition: the Main Street "bump" or the central hub in front of the Partners statue (makes for great photos).
Wishes, old hat edition: while riding Big Thunder Mountan or People Mover
Wishes, crowds make me nervous edition: the Polynesian beach with drink in hand

Illuminations: whichever way the wind is coming from

I used to watch Wishes from the Tomorrowland bridge, but that changed with the Celebrate the Magic show. It's really best to see that from right up close, so I get as close to front and center on the castle as I can. Then I just drop back next to the Partners statue for Wishes - perfect!

For years I've enjoyed IllumiNations from right in front of the Canada pavilion, right across from the steps leading up into the pavilion. There are some trees there, and it looks like your view would be blocked, so large crowds don't mass there. You might have 2 or 3 people in front of you, but it's still an excellent spot for viewing (and the trees don't block anything!).
