There are many benefits to staying in the Deluxe resorts at Walt Disney World. There is an extra benefit to staying at one of the monorail resorts (Contemporary, Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary, Grand Floridian, and the Polynesian) that I don’t think is talked about very much: viewing the Wishes fireworks display from your resort room.
All of the monorail resorts have rooms that are classified as Theme Park View rooms. These are rooms that face the Magic Kingdom, and give guests amazing views of Cinderella’s Castle. At night you can also watch Wishes from these rooms. You can also tune the TV in these rooms to a certain channel and listen to the Wishes soundtrack as you watch the fireworks. We do this regularly and I have to say that it’s amazing! The kids can be in their pajamas, and mom and dad can relax with a drink while you enjoy an awesome fireworks display from the comfort of your room. And the best part: no crowds! You don’t have to worry about people jockeying for position, or small kids not being able to see, or fighting the crowds on the way out of the park. After Wishes is over, you can put the kids to bed and get up early the next morning to get in the parks at rope drop.
