I went out to the bathroom and grabbed a snack and went back in
If you wanted to ensure a spot at the railing, would you have to head to the viewing area almost immediately after the party begins?
IMHO, I think that would be overkill. Crowd behavior can be highly variable on any given night so it’s really hard to be totally specific, but you don’t see people really squatting that early just to get a spot either on the front of back rail. It’s a more casual pace.
Thanks GADisneydad for this awesome thread!!! HiroMYhero suggested I come over to read about the plaza viewing dessert party and I learned so much. We attended this past Sunday party. We checked in about 820 for 9 fireworks. They brought us to a nice table. I was surprised that there were chairs. For some reason I thought we’d have to stand at high tops. Maybe I got it confused with the party in Hollywood Studios. Anyway, most people were had already made their way to lawn so we had pretty much the dessert area to ourselves. My favorite was the cheesecake!IMHO, I think that would be overkill.

Omg the view from the plaza was dead center with no jockeying 15 minutes out. So I definitely recommend trying it if you haven’t done it. I took a spot back against rail but It was really weird because one half sat and other half stood????
We were really lucky because Sunday was our only mild night of the vacation. I stayed at the Polynesian so I had watched the fireworks almost every night from the resort prior to the party. I can honestly say you will be blown away when you see it from the plaza.
I have reservations for the Fireworks Dessert Party with Plaza Garden Viewing... Can I bring a tripod to the Plaza Viewing Area?

Agreed. Most people on this thread, myself included, feel the back rail gives the very best viewing, adults and kids alike.it isn't necessary to stand at the front rail to see well. We often lean against the back railing.
Doug, you’ve been moved to the current MK dessert party thread with up to date info.If going with a toddler would it be better to do the garden viewing or the terrace seating. I’m ok being slightly off center, mainly want to make sure my daughter can see it without having to hold her the entire show.

Don’t you chance a bunch of people standing in direct view of you, esp the really tall ones?
