It’s hit or miss but sometimes. Boardwalk does not iirc bc of their live performers.

Get Dinner at Beaches and Cream and watch the show from the Yacht and Beach lighthouse dock. Awesome spot with the fireworks reflecting on the lake.

Well I'm 3 for 3 for seeing this show and it making me teary-eyed. I guess I'm a fan. I feel bad for badmouthing it when it debuted and I hadn't seen it yet, but Harmonious really left a bad taste in my mouth.

We can all agree that the best finale music in Epcot history was “A Whole New World,” obviously.

Well, to be specific the original ones made for the show although One Little Spark is great.

One Little Spark is better.

Can we all agree that "One Heartbeat" is the better post show song?

You don't get to see the fountains much, but fireworks and lights are visible. Music is piped in too.

I don't think they pipe in the music around the Epcot resorts (although they should) but you can also look up the soundtrack on YouTube and try to sync it up. this video I edited together is perfectly in sync with the actual show you just have to start it about a minute before the show actually starts because it has the last preshow song that transitions into the show.

Does that have a decent view?

I think it does. Good thinking! I was limiting my thinking to the Crescent Lake area.

Doesn't the restaurant on top of riviera pipe it in?
