Good View

[me_stitch]

where is the best place for a disney resort guest to get a good view of Disney World, without going up in a hot air balloon? for instance, can you go into the Poly or somewhere like that to get a cool view.

On top of the Cali Grill on the roof of the Contemporary.

I'm pretty sure that there would be no better place than California Grill (both the restaurant and the observation deck) on top of the Contemporary.

I assume you mean The Magic Kingdom so definately the Top of Cali Grill or The beach that you exit onto From Spirit of Aloha at The Polynesian :wave:

I assume you mean the Magic Kingdom. Disney World covers 47 square miles, about the size of the city of San Francisco. Disney World has 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, Downtown Disney, a few golf courses, and about 27 resort hotels.

There's no where at Polynesian that will give you a bird's eye view of Magic Kingdom. There's nothing that's high enough for that. The most you can see from the top floor of any building at Poly is the train station, the Castle, Space Mountain, and the very very tippy tops of Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Astro Orbiter ... the only way I know that I saw the very tops of those is because I know where they are, it's not like you can see enough to even know what they are just by looking.

Your only real chance is from the Contemporary Resort, and the best place from there (except for a guest room on the club level) is the California Grill.

Top of the World at Contemporary

Outside the Contemporary, there really isn't anywhere you can get a "view" of much of anything....

First -- FLorida is flat as a pancake, everything is really spread out -- and there are trees everywhere.

Second -- remember that everything inside the parks is built in forced-perspective....it's painted and designed to look really tall when you are inside the park. If you are outside the park and looking at real proportions, except for only a few exceptions like the "mountains" and Tower of Terror, nothing is more than a few stories tall. Even to top floor hotel rooms in the Swan and Dolphin don't have a lot of "view" of anything but expanses of trees.
