Disney World Fireworks Finish the Day with a Flourish

Disney World, Florida, deserves more than one day but that's all I had. However, I was there before the gates opened in the morning and I stayed till dark for the fireworks.

Saying that the Disney World fireworks are spectacular is an understatement. They are one of the highlights of the day though and shouldn't be missed.




The weather was overcast to begin with but the skies cleared during the day and they remained so for the evening.

One big tip. Don't try and squeeze in that last ride for the day and then expect a good position for the fireworks show. Sort out during the day where would be a good position for your photographs, preferably where no-one can stand in front of you, and then go back to that spot early, in plenty of time for the fireworks.

As you can see from my photo, I could only manage the top part of the castle because I tried to squeeze in that last ride and just made it in time for the show but not a really good photo position. Learn from my experience.

Pilot Soars in Disney World, Florida

For me as a pilot, Disney World offers so many flying attractions that I just had to try as many as I could. The Florida day was overcast to begin with but turned out to be this brilliant blue sky, a good day for flying.

I do love elephants and I particularly love elephants who fly, so Dumbo the flying elephant was a very good choice to start with.

The problem with Disney World is that there are so many little kids around that it makes it very hard for the big kids to get on the rides, especially when they don't bring a child with them. However, this was just one of the flying rides to be enjoyed by young and old.

My advice is to arrive early and head for the attractions that matter most to you. One day is just not enough though.

Disney World Definitely Delivers

Earlier this year I visited Orlando, Florida, to present a session at an aviation conference.

Before the conference, however, I spent a whole day at Disney World. I arrived early, on the free bus from my hotel, and left after the magnificent fireworks at the end of the day.

Several days to visit would have been better, but I went on as many of the attractions and rides that I could fit into one day.

I managed to ride on this riverboat and give my feet a well earned rest. To see a bit more of the Disney complex I went outside the park and caught the monorail to some of the other hotel resorts. A very tiring but action-packed and satisfying day.

However, I wish I'd bought this guide before my visit.
