I would say if you have at least 30 min between the end of WOC and the start of PTN you should be able to make it on sweat. Less than that and it will be chaotic but you’d still see most of it.
In the summer they are often presented nightly as long as there is no strong wind.
This varies by person obviously, but personally I am not the biggest on doing shows every time. If I see it once, that sustains me for several years.
My favorite show is Fantasmic, but without the dragon finale it’s not as impactful.
My next favorite is World of Color, but this greatly depends on which version. Nothing beats the original show IMO so I’m usually a little disappointed.
Wondrous Journeys is a great fireworks show and I think some Liners would put it first.
Paint the Night is awesome! But I don’t have the patience to wait for a parade so I usually just catch it in passing.
While having a chair for F! Be aware that there is a walking path between you and the show.
Summer usually brings more chances but IMHO WJ doesn’t really need them. It’s amazing on its own. Get a spot on Main Street because the projections all around you is amazing!
WJ is the best show ever! PTN is the best parade ever and WOC is the best water show ever. I’ve never been a big fan of F!
Fireworks should be every night in the summer, but I watch them every night I can even if the fireworks don’t happen. The projections, the music, it’s all so great. It’s usually 9:35pm. I prefer watching by IASW as the projections are super clear, and then you are also back in that area for the Tapestry of Happiness which might be my favorite thing from the 70th. In 5 minutes, this show does more for me than the 30 minute WOC 70th show. Don’t miss it, go every night if you can (both Wondrous Journeys and the Tapestry).
Your plan sounds great, I don’t see any real flaws. Oh except I just saw the addition to F!. I wouldn’t do the Riverbelle dining. The view is not good. I’d stick with whatever gets you the center area (seated on the ground) section. Blue Bayou? Or Cafe Orleans. I did the Riverbelle twice, and both times was annoyed at all the people walking by in front of you, and even worse the cast members yelling the entire time with their flashlights shining to keep the crowd moving. It’s a seat, but it’s not worth it if you actually want to enjoy the show without distraction.
My favorite place to watch is back by IASW, up on the elevated area. And make sure you know which direction the parade is coming from as this area is great when it starts by IASW. It’s a much longer wait for it to get there if starting from the other end, although the view is still great.
For Wondrous Journeys, I like to watch it from multiple locations including the Hub (if no FW are offered, as this means it’s not as crowded and you can walk up just before) and see the projections easily on the castle. With FW scheduled, it’s too crowded in the Hub and the trees will block your view. So my favorite place to watch with FWs is back by IASW. Main Street is another good place if you want to see the FW (and don’t mind that the castle is tiny and you can barely see it back there).
