Pirate Show and Fireworks aboard the Disney Fantasy

This video is of one of the shows you can see while on your Disney Fantasy cruise, a pirate show. One of the nights you are on board they'll have a pirate show where Captain Jack Sparrow fights off the enemies. Captain Jack will at one point set off a fireworks show.

It's an elaborate show that goes on for quite a while. You can see it from multiple places on the ship. I think the best place to see it is on the right hand side of the stage up on the balcony. You can see different view points in the video to give you an idea of where you might like to stand/sit.

Wishes Firework show at Magic Kingdom at Disney World

The fireworks at the Magic Kingdom are always spectacular. I got to watch the Wishes firework show from the Contemporary Resort's restaurant California Grill while at the Traveling Mom conference. What a view we had from the Balcony of the Contemporary Resort.

New Years Eve in Las Vegas

We currently live in Las Vegas  and we could not resist going out for New Year's Eve. We heard all the horror stories of how they block off the strip and close all the exits off of I-15 and you get stuck in traffic forever. Despite this we headed down there. We actually got down there quickly, but it took a while to get into a parking garage. We finally ended up in the Caesar's parking lot. They have a huge parking garage and we should have just gone there to begin with. We walked through Caesar's on the way to the Bellagio and they had random ice bars set up throughout. The ice bars were elaborate.
It didn't take us long to make it to the Bellagio, but we did stop out front to watch the water show.  Around 10:30 PM we went back out and watched another show.  This time it was a very long one, the longest I have seen there.  I assume they did this because it was New Years eve.
This is us inside the Bellagio. We did a tiny bit of gambling and of course lost!  It was very crowded and hard to get drinks, so be sure to start gambling near the area the waitresses come out of.
Here we are in front of the lounge we went to called Caramel inside the Bellagio. It was fun. They turned it into a kind of night club with a dj. They had a few party favors and covered the ceiling with balloons. It was so dark we couldn't get picture inside. The tickets were over priced and the drinks were insanely over priced. Although we had fun, we would not go again and would not recommend it. Their staff was incredibly rude. I watched some of the interactions the staff had with guests and I saw people get yelled at for no reason. I understand there are a lot of people out and the workers are probably uptight, but they were still awful especially when you factor how much money you are spending in there.

About twenty minutes til midnight we started to make our way outside for the count down and fireworks.
We could see fireworks going off at six different casinos.

4th of July fireworks at Magic Kingdom

This is a clip of part of the fireworks on July 4th at the Magic Kingdom. They played multiple patriotic songs and had fireworks going along with the music for a long time.  These fireworks are amazing.  Beware, if you decide to go, I have never seen the park this crowded before.  This is the first time I have even seen more than on exit from the park. They opened up another section to let people out in Tomorrowland.
