WDW From a Distance

[DisneyJunkie]

For the Florida locals and frequent nearby guests, I'm curious as to how far outside of WDW you can be and still observe the fireworks shows from the parks?

The only closest one I can tell is Epcot viewed from The Blue Heron Beach Resort as they have a webcamera on their roof top facing DTD & Epcot...You can see Illuminations...

With music or without? Can be see from Avalon Rd near Winter Garden, The Eye, etc. Florida is very flat. So, if you can find an elevated spot, you're most likely going to see them.

I'm pretty sure on one of Tim Tracker's vlogs, they could see one of the fireworks shows at WDW when they were at Uni, although it may have been while they were on I-4 after leaving Uni.

I've seen them off 192 in the Town of Celebration you can certainly hear them.

I stayed in a high rise hotel (Reunion Resort) once and was able to see the fireworks. However, at that distance, the burst of fireworks looked about the size of a nickle on the horizon. So "seeing" them and truly appreciating a fireworks experience are two different things.

Exit 2 on the beach line. Used to see them all the time coming home from school.

Stayed on the 13th floor of the Marriot World Centre Hotel one time facing Disney. Could see the whole of Disney World and see all the fireworks from all the parks. Felt really quite privileged sat on my balcony having a drink and taking it all in

Thinking back, anyone remember the 'searchlights' they used to have at Pleasure Island and on top of the Chinese theatre in the Studios? Well back then you could actually see them from near Haines City heading towards Grene Lefe Country Club which is quite a way away to be honest

Yup, they were on the top of the uni parking garage. I believe it was the Frozen Fireworks.

I live about 7 ½ miles (as the crow flies) from the center of Epcot. You can see the fireworks from the third floor of my complex and more often than not you can hear them. On sufficiently cold, clear, and quite nights you can hear some of the music as well. DHS is a bit over 6 miles and anytime they have fireworks it’s hard to miss them unless it’s foggy/rainy.

Saw Wishes from in an airplane as we were making our decent into MCO once... does that count?
