fortpartyof4 108 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 The time sounds about right, I would double check with the front desk while you're there, or buildabettermousetrip dot com, or all ears dot net.We've watched from many angles. My favorite was when we were on the wagon ride and were way off to the side on that path behind 100/200.I think you can smoke on the beach, but am not positive.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 9:45 like clockwork. Only exceptions are usually if there's something special going on at MK.It pulls right across the length of the beach, and the front end parks to the right of the dock.I like the view from that side or way left of the dock - only because there's less interference from the lights on the dock.Sound is loud enough that you can hear it anywhere... including the 300 loop! :rofl2:Lou will probably tell you that the best view is from Epcot. :rofl3: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Oh you can pretty much hear it all the way to the Outpost! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I like to stake out a couple lounge chairs on the left side of the dock away from the lights. Get there early enough and you can watch the fireworks followed by the EWP (or vice versa depending on when the fireworks are). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Lou should be along momentarily to answer this much better than I could.Lou will probably tell you that the best view is from Epcot. Don't be silly, you can't see from Epcot, but you can see it at Hour Glass Lake between Pop Century and AoA.Bring your chairs and coolers and be sure to get there real early, about 3 in the afternoon because the beach fills up quickly.And don't worry if it's 10 pm and it hasn't come by yet, it will, trust me.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 EWP is a "must see" on our trips to the Fort. Anywhere on the beach or the dock works. And as others have said, you'll have no trouble hearing it anywhere. The first time we ever camped at the Fort with our kids in early 2007, we went to bed quite early after a LONG day driving, and just as I was about to drift off to sleep the music from the EWP started blaring. We were in the 500 loop. I had no idea what it was, and it scared the crap out of me. But the next night we went to the beach to see it and I've loved it ever since.

We were in a hybrid (not exactly sound proof) and I think I about jumped out of the tent.I was listening to a Disney station on Live365 the other day and something came on that I hadn't heard before. Took me about 0.137 seconds to realize it was the EWP soundtrack!Brought a smile to my otherwise ho-hum day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 The EWP is an oldie but goodie.Do you remember which station you were listening to Mo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Can I get a bus to HGL? Or maybe a boat?They have a special short yellow bus just for the EWP. Look for it. The marquee will say "crappy, hokie, old attractions".it scared the crap out of me.I can relate.I was listening to a Disney station on Live365My idea of heaven.The EWP is an oldie but goodie.You have it half right.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Do you remember which station you were listening to Mo?I think it was either Mouse House or D-Magic (which I think is a VIP station).I finally caved and bought into the VIP station. The free ones just weren't cutting it.My idea of heaven.Hey, some of us who live more than 12 minutes away have to resort to closing our eyes and pretending. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
