Best view of Epcot fireworks?

[mickeys_princess]

In your opinion which hotel has the best view of the fireworks at Epcot? And what building / type of room should be requested? Thanks!

We have stayed at the Dolphin with EPCOT view (we we up high) several times and enjoyed the show from our balcony. We have also stayed at the BC facing Crescent Lake and can't remember seeing the fireworks very well from that angle.

dolphin would probably give you a good view but if you had the scratch, probably the cottages at boardwalk for a view. really though, you can watch from the bridge between bc and bw for a great view every night if you didnt want to actually be around the world showcase.

Oddly enough, I've seen them from Coronado Springs. Of course, this was during Christmas and we could only see the special holiday salvo. We were in the Rancho section and were able to walk out the front door to the walkway and watch the end of Illuminations several nights when we got back early.

Unless you can see the water at Epcot you will not see the lower part of the show. As mentioned (Swan/Dolphin) have higher rooms and may be the only ones that can see this segment (Globe). Most buildings and trees around the showcase block the lower part of the show.
If you are staying at the BW-YC-BC area and you have tickets the bridge next to France is ideal and a 5 minute walk back to your room.
