I love the ride itself. It’s simply not perfect for viewing fireworks.
just don’t use it as your only chance to see the shows
This exactly. I enjoy the boat ride, but neither is the best for seeing the show itself. I’ve done both, and if I had to pick I’d have to go with Epcot. You do see some of the small screen, but definitely don’t get the full experience. And the is also a small island in the lake with a tree that can be in the way A big plus is not dealing with the mob after, and you do see the fireworks and the moving “octopus arms” that light up (sorry, that’s all I could think of when they started moving around, lol)
MK you miss ALL of the projections, which to me are the true show, with the fireworks being the accents. You do see the electrical water pageant.
The snacks were good on both. popcorn, chips, rice crispy treats, nuts, sodas & water.
You can bring on extra food if you want. It would be cheaper than having them do it.
No bathroom. It’s just a pontoon.
The MK tours around Bay Lake prior to the show, and the Epcot you tour around Crescent Lake prior
Both book at 60 +10.
Don’t need a park pass for either
