The Best Place to Watch Wishes at Magic Kingdom

In this post I'm going to give my thoughts and opinions on a few unique areas to watch Wishes at the Magic Kingdom, along with the views of a few others.
The best spot mostly depends on what the person/ family is hoping to do once the show has ended. It is quite silly for anyone who wants to exit from the park, to view the show from Fantasyland. Then again, viewing the show from a place next to the park exit and then hoping to stay in the park for a number of hours after is also a silly idea. Therefore before making the decision, decide where you are heading off after the fireworks have finished.
If You Want to Be Near the Castle.
So I can understand that some of my readers may completely forget how unsafe fireworks can be and get so excited while visiting The Disney World Resort that they actually want to be in the show! (This is a joke. You are definitely safe at all the Disney World parks). However if you would like to get a real up close view, then the Hub is the area for you.
The Hub is that circular section found in front of Cinderella Castle that links all of the lands together. I've actually viewed Wishes in every location you can possibly imagine. The Hub, Main Street, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Fort Wilderness Campground beach, around the back of the park at Disney University, the bridge to Tomorrowland, the Polynesian Resort beach, and at the top of Bay Lake Tower. Out of all these places, in the front section of the Hub has to be the worst!
The main reason why I don't like being in the front spot, and by that I mean between Walt and Mickey's "Partners" statue and Cinderella Castle, is mainly because the castle will completely block the view of the main fireworks. One time I had just finished eating dinner at Cinerella's Royal Table (a restaurant inside the castle) and my group found ourselves extremely close to the castle to watch the show. Not only did I miss half the fireworks, but I had a tremendous crick in my neck from having to look directly above me. I certainly did not have a magical time!
The Best Location to View Wishes.
With that being said, as long as you stay toward the back of the Hub you can have the best experience possible. I would definitely suggest that you stay towards the right of the Castle to get the best possible view of "Cinderella's washing line."
I personally think the best position to watch Wishes is from the seating area just outside of the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor at the Castle end of Main Street (check a park map if you are unsure of where it is). If you can get seats there, you will get an amazing view of all aspects of the show. But I would suggest that you get there about an hour before the show begins.
