I know that from many restaurants across Disney parks and hotels you can see the fireworks
Just wondering which ones people recomend as prime viewing locations
I have two kids with us 4 & 5 and rather than having to try to pick a good spot and make them wait around for ages, would like to incorporate it with a dinner option

The California Grill in the Contemporary Hotel is great, they pipe in the firework music for Magic Kingdom and you can also watcg the fireworks from their viewing platform outside - take something warm to wear though as it gets quite breezy as you're really high up.
In Epcot you get a great view of the fireworks from the Rose and Crown in England - you will need a table outside and try and eat about an hour before the fireworks so you can get a good table.

Thanks
I knew of the rose and crown and that looks like a good option
California grill also sounds good but not sure my kids 4&5 will eat much from the menu especially being late other than dessert
Would this be acceptable behaviour ??

I can't see there being a problem, we took a 9 month old in a pushchair when we went and she just picked off our plates (much too late for her dinner) the staff were absolutely brilliant. We've also eaten there with friends who had 2 little ones from memory they shared a meal (may have only been a starter) and then had a dessert, again not so much as a raised eyebrow. Each time there have been plenty of kiddies there of all ages.
I thought kids were not really allowed in the California Grill restaurant? We were trying persuade Granny to babysit on that night!!!

Another option might be Fantasmic at MGM, but if you want dinner you must book before you go.

Ohana at the Polynesian resort is good.
They have games for children during dinner and when the fireworks are on the lights go down and the theme music is piped into the restaurant.

you need to check the park calander on the wdw website for parade and firework times as they differ depending on the time of year you visit
cannot post link but a quick google will bring it up[msnsmile]
you can check out the disney dining planner on there too

Another place to see the fireworks, but not an ideal viewing position, is upstairs at Fulton's Crabhouse. The fireworks appear to be behind Saratoga Springs (presume they are Epcots) and I would not like to guarantee it, but it was a nice extra for us.
If you can get in at the Rose & Crown at Epcot around 8pm they don't mind you staying there for the fireworks, Reflections of Earth.
Have been fortunate enough to do this on 2 occasions now.
