During our last visit, we stayed at the GF. Outside of the main building, next to the quick service restaurant, you can get a table, a drink, and watch Wishes from a distance. They pipe in the music and you can use the telescopes if you want, but it was SO pleasant because after the show, it was awfully easy to get away without the crowds. Even if you aren't staying there, you can still hop right on the monorail, boat, or bus to get where you need to be. Try it!
I'm not so familiar with the GF - what's the name of the quick service restaurant?
