Question about seeing fireworks from WL…
Where is the best viewing?

I’m thinking we’ll leave MK earlyish (3-4pm) on a mnsshp day this coming September and have dinner at Artists Point and maybe try the lounge at WL, then stay for fireworks and EWP.

Thanks!

If you go along the water, next to Geyser Point, you’ll be able to watch from there. There are tables and chairs set up, as well as a rock ledge you can sit along. You’ll be able to see the high fireworks, as well as the EWP from there! Enjoy!!

Do they have speakers with the music for the fireworks playing over there?

Yes, they have speakers hiding in the bushes along the shoreline.
The fireworks music was piped into the courtyard when we stayed there in February. I don't know if they are still doing that, but it was nice to hear the music from our room.

We had a room at that end and hated it. It was not the corner room but the middle one. There wasn't enough room to sit in those chairs. And there was a lot of foliage (weeds) in front of the balcony, But the location was great.

That's a great room location at the end of the hall right near the exit doors and a Bay Lake view since they cleared the undergrowth when they added the Cabins at Wilderness Lodge & the Cascade Cabins.

Only possible downside is it can be quite loud when the EWP passes in the evening but you may be in the Old Faithful Club at that time.

I had the deluxe on right corner water facing previously.

Our view seems decent for a resort view . I don’t mind the cramped patio . It’s better than the 7th floor you can’t see over

It’s back !

This is a tight patio but I made do with my CL wine last night .

 

[lotsohugginbear]

Last time I was there, it was self serve alcohol except for the
beer taps. What is the set up now?
I love the cobbler. I wish they would put out the vanilla ice cream with the cobbler.
