View from the Contemporary Resort. (c) 2009 Noah RavitzJust in time for the 4th of July, here are the best fireworks viewing spots for the Magic Kingdom and Epcot in Walt Disney World.

Magic Kingdom:

Main Street, U.S.A.
Tomorrowland Terrace patio.
Entrance to the ferry boats at the Transportation and Ticket Center.
Magic Kingdom resorts:

Contemporary Resort 4th floor outside observation deck.
California Grill observation deck and tables with a view of the Magic Kingdom.
'Ohana restaurant at the Polynesian Resort.
Narcoossee's restaurant at the Grand Floridian Resort.

Epcot:

The Mexico and Italy pavilions offer spectacular views of the Epcot fireworks, including the Illuminations Reflections of Earth globe, which features video images.
Avoid spots in which large trees or buildings obstruct your view.
If the wind is blowing in your face, smoke will surely follow once the show starts. Find another spot.
If you don't mind missing the globe's video images and some of the fire, smoke, and laser effects that can only be seen from World Showcase, a great place to watch the fireworks is along the long walkway in front of Spaceship Earth. You will be ideally positioned to make a quick exit to the parking lot or monorail before the masses.
A great spot to view the fireworks is the small bridge between Mexico and World Showplace...ideally with a Mexican margarita in your hand.
Disney's Hollywood Studios:

Disney's Hollywood Studios offers a 4th of July fireworks show. Fantasmic! is the park's regular nighttime show, however, while the Magic Kingdom and Epcot offer fireworks every night. Moreover, Disney's Hollywood Studios was not designed to accommodate large crowds as well as the older Magic Kingdom and Epcot parks. Since the 4th of July is one of the most crowded days at the Disney parks, and Hollywood Studios is not known for its fireworks, the true fireworks aficionado would be happier at one of the older parks.

KofC

Went to a 2nd Kof C meeting in two weeks--surely two more than i have been too since joining in 1984 or so.

Last night I went to another church we have been going to Mass lately. Everyone very friendly and less formal than previous week one. Within minutes i was asked to be the 'inside guard'? I said not sure what that job entails but sure. Another few minutes later another guy was talking to me and yada yada yada

I walked out last night with a briefcase of council checkbooks and even some cash to be deposited into the bank. I am the new treasurer of the St Jude council.
