Fodor's Review:

Duration: 13 min.

Crowds: Heavy.

Strategy: For best views (and if you have young children), find your place 45 min in advance.

Audience: All ages.

Rating: ***

The marvelous nighttime spectacular takes place over the World Showcase Lagoon every night before closing. Be sure to stick around for the lasers, lights, fireworks, fountains, and music that fill the air over the water. Although there's generally good viewing from all around the lagoon, some of the best spots are in front of the Italy pavilion, on the bridge between France and the United Kingdom, on the promenade in front of Canada, at the World Showcase Plaza, and on the bridge between China and Germany, which will give you a clear shot, unobstructed by trees. After the show, concealed loudspeakers play the theme music manipulated into salsa, polka, waltz, and even—believe it or not—Asian rhythms.
